"Devastation and Despair: Gaza's Night of Unprecedented Bombardment"

Palestinians in Gaza experienced the heaviest night of Israeli bombardment since the start of the war with Hamas, with hundreds of buildings destroyed and at least 377 people killed. Israel's military targeted underground infrastructure and deployed tanks and troops into the Strip. Communication networks were cut off, making it difficult to get accurate reports. The UN warned of a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding, with hospitals overwhelmed and displaced civilians seeking refuge in healthcare facilities. UN Secretary General expressed surprise at the intensity of Israel's strikes, while Israel cut off electricity, water, and imports of essential goods in retaliation for Hamas's attack.
