Gaza Strip: At least 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, were killed in an Israeli airstrike near a medical facility in central Gaza, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The strike reportedly hit individuals waiting for nutritional supplements in the town of Deir al-Balah. Disturbing footage from the hospital showed several bodies, including those of children, lying on the floor as medical personnel attended to their injuries. The Israeli military stated that the strike was aimed at a “Hamas terrorist” in the area and expressed regret for any harm caused to innocent individuals, adding that the incident is currently being reviewed.
- Lord, we pray for the families of the victims who lost their lives in the airstrike, especially the children and women who were affected. God brings them comfort and healing during this tragic time and provides peace in the hearts of those who are grieving (The Holy Bible, Psalms 147:3).
- Lord, we pray for an end to the violence and for renewed efforts towards peace and understanding in the region. God, guide the leaders in making decisions that prioritize the safety and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their background (The Holy Bible, Colossians 3:13).
