Chaotic scenes ensued in Gaza City on Thursday (June 5), after an Israeli airstrike targeted a busy road in the city.

Gazans could be seen comforting casualties on the ground, while others rushed the injured to nearby ambulance cars.

The Israeli military has intensified its operations in Gaza since breaking a fragile ceasefire with Hamas in March, taking more territory with the government pushing to wipe out Hamas.

Israel launched its campaign in Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas-led attack on communities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 hostages abducted into Gaza, according to Israeli tallies.

Its assault has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, Gaza health authorities say, and reduced much of the crowded coastal enclave to rubble.
