“Death Café”: Israeli airstrike kills 20 at beachfront café in Gaza

Israel unleashed one of its largest bombardments in weeks, killing at least 58 people, including a cafe filled with 20 people.

Women, children and one journalist were killed while in a beachfront cafe in Gaza City, according to medics on the ground.

Israel has claimed they were striking militant targets in northern Gaza in their latest attack.

But since the war began, 185 Palestinian journalists have been killed and 86 others imprisoned, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Airstrikes continued in northern Gaza, targeting at least four schools after previous orders were issued to Palestinians who had been sheltering inside.

60-year-old Salah, a father of five from Gaza City, told Reuters: ‘Explosions never stopped; they bombed schools and homes. It felt like an earthquake.

‘In the news, we hear a ceasefire is near, on the ground, we see death, and we hear explosions.’

Earlier today, the IDF killed at least 22 people and wounded 20 others who were trying to get food aid in southern Gaza.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received the bodies of 11 people who were shot while returning from an aid site associated with the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund in southern Gaza on Monday.

It’s part of a deadly pattern that has killed more than 500 Palestinians in the chaotic and controversial aid distribution programme over the past month.
