Israeli Forces Kill 84 Palestinians in a Day as Troops Push Deeper into Gaza City

HeadlineSep 04, 2025

Israeli forces moved deeper into Gaza City on Wednesday, as Israeli leaders dismissed a statement from Hamas that the group was willing to release its remaining hostages in exchange for an end to Israel’s assault. This comes as Palestinian health officials report Israeli forces have killed at least 84 people and wounded 338 others over the past 24 hours. In Gaza City, Palestinians mourned their loved ones killed in Israeli airstrikes.

Sabreen al-Mabhuh: “He was martyred. He was hit by a strike inside his room. They killed him with his wife and children. They erased them all. No one is left for me. Yesterday he was with me. He told me, 'I have your back. I will not leave you. Whatever happens to you happens to me.' But, no, he’s gone and left me alone. To whom are you leaving me, my brother Mohammed? To whom are you leaving me?”
