An Israeli airstrike on a beachfront café in western Gaza on Monday killed at least 39 Palestinians and injured dozens more. Among the dead were journalist Ismail Abu Hatab, women, and children. The café was known as a gathering spot for journalists and activists. The explosion left a deep crater, and rescue operations are ongoing. Victims have been taken to Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. Locals have described the attack as a “massacre.”
