Rescuers digging through the remains of a collapsed apartment building heard the baby’s cries from underneath the rubble.
“When we asked people, they said she is a month old and she has been under the rubble since dawn,” said Hazem Attar, a civil defence first responder. “She had been screaming and then falling silent from time to time until we were able to get her out a short while ago, and thank God she is safe.”
The girl was identified as Ella Osama Abu Dagga. She was born 25 days ago during a since-collapsed ceasefire. Only the girl’s grandparents survived the attack. Another family that included a father and his seven children was also killed in the Israeli raid.
At least seven Palestinians were killed and several others were injured, many of them critically, on Thursday afternoon due to an Israeli airstrike and gunfire in Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

Among the victims identified were: Mohammed Nasser al-Breim, Mohammed Jamal al-Najjar, Mohammed Musabbeh, and Abdulrahman Musabbeh. Dozens of others were injured, most of them in critical condition, and the airstrike caused extensive damage to the area.
In the meantime, a Palestinian citizen, Jihad Shaheen, along with his wife and several of their children, were killed when Israeli warplanes targeted their home in the Armaida area, east of Khan Younis.
Additionally, a young man, Adi Abu Amrah, was killed after Israeli forces opened fire on him in the al-Shaboura area in the center of Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported that since early this morning, 95 fatalities and 133 injured individuals have been transported to hospitals in Gaza as a result of the recent massacres committed by Israeli occupation forces against innocent civilians.
Medical sources announced that 95 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, have been killed since dawn on Thursday in the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army pounded the Gaza Strip with deadly airstrikes since Tuesday, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. including children, in the attack that targeted Abasan town, the source added.
Meanwhile, Israeli army launched a ground operation in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday amid a renewed assault on the Palestinian enclave.
The army claimed in a statement that its forces and the Shin Bet domestic security forces struck Hamas infrastructure in Beit Lahia before the start of the ground offensive.
On Wednesday, the army said that it started a “pinpoint” ground operation in central and southern Gaza to expand a buffer zone in central Gaza.
And on Thursday, the army banned Palestinians from traveling through the Salah al-Din Street, a route designated for safe passage between northern Gaza and the south.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump “fully supports Israel” as Tel Aviv resumes its attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip, the White House said Thursday amid an escalating death toll.
Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt continued to blame Hamas for Israel’s decision to renew its offensive following a breakthrough ceasefire that endured for roughly two months, saying Trump “has made it very clear that he wants all of those hostages to come home.”
“And he fully supports Israel and the IDF and the actions that they’ve taken in recent days,” she added, using an acronym to refer to Israel’s military.
The Israeli army issued a “final warning” on Thursday to Palestinians in the Bani Suheila area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza to evacuate before launching airstrikes.
“To all residents of the Gaza Strip currently in the specified area in Bani Suheila, this is your final warning before the strike,” army spokesman Avichay Adraee said, posting a map on his X account.
“You must immediately move westward to the known shelter centers,” he said, claiming that rockets were fired from the area early Thursday.
LEBANON
Lebanese media reported rocket fire from Syria into the border town of Hosh Al-Sayyed Ali on Thursday.
According to the state news agency NNA, several shells were fired from the Qusayr countryside in Homs province in western Syria.
There was no immediate comment from the Syrian authorities on the report.
YEMEN
The Israeli military confirmed that one ballistic missile was launched from Yemen towards Israeli territory but was intercepted outside Israeli airspace.
It’s worth mentioning this is the second incident of its kind this week and also today is the second time that flights at Ben Gurion airport were halted because of rocket launches. Previously, they were launched from the Gaza Strip, now from Yemen.
These sirens were pretty vast across the country, even reaching parts of the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, West Jerusalem, and different southern parts of Israel.
It’s also important to mention that right now, local media in Yemen is reporting US air raids on several areas of Yemeni territory. Also, in the last week we have seen US attacks on different places within Yemen, and there have been reports within Israeli media, quoting top security officials, that the Americans relayed a message to the Israelis that they are going to deal with the rocket launches by Yemen and will conduct their own attacks, telling Israel not to conduct attacks on Yemen.
Health Ministry in the Ansar Allah [Houthi]-controlled capital Sana’a raised the death toll in US bombings to 53, including five children and two women.
