Israel Bombs Crowded Gaza Cafe, Killing Dozens, Including Children

HeadlineJul 01, 2025

Israeli attacks on Gaza killed nearly 100 Palestinians on Monday, including at least 39 people who died when an Israeli warplane bombed a seaside cafe in northern Gaza City. Among those killed were children celebrating a birthday party, the prominent visual artist Frans al-Salmi and the photojournalist Ismail Abu Hatab. He’s at least the 227th Palestinian journalist killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 2023. Palestinian journalist Bayan Abusultan was injured in the assault, along with dozens of others. Separately, Israel attacked tents housing displaced people in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza. Al Jazeera reports it’s the 10th time Israeli forces have attacked the medical complex.
