Jabaliya, Gaza

A Palestinian woman mourns her son,

killed in an Israeli airstrike in Jabaliya.

The raids and bombardment over the last few days

have raised levels of violence in Gaza higher than for several weeks,

with the death toll coming close to what was seen

during the first days of Israel’s renewed offensive in Gaza

after a fragile ceasefire collapsed in March

How Israeli Soldiers Killed 15 Rescue Workers in Gaza

NYT    2 May 2025

How Israeli Soldiers Killed 15 Rescue Workers in Gaza

Visual Investigation    NYT    2 May 2025

Israel’s military said it was reacting to an immediate threat

when it killed 15 medics and first responders in Gaza in March.

But eyewitness accounts and an analysis of videos, audio and autopsy reports

show that multiple soldiers fired over the course of six minutes

at unarmed emergency workers who never posed a threat.
