DEIR AL-BALAH: Israeli air raids hit northern and southern Gaza on Wednesday, killing at least of 70 individuals, including almost two dozen children, according to hospitals and health officials. The raids carried out after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement a day earlier that there will be no pause to the army campaign, asserting that Israel's offensive would endure until the militant group is utterly dismantled.

At least 50 individuals, 22 of them children, died in raids around the Jabaliya area in northern Gaza, hospitals and Gaza's Health Ministry reported. In Jabaliya, rescue workers used hand tools and the light of cellphones to dig through rubble and retrieve the bodies of children trapped beneath collapsed concrete.

Israel’s military declined to comment on the latest strikes but had issued warnings to Jabaliya residents late Tuesday, urging them to evacuate due to the alleged presence of militant infrastructure, including rocket launchers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused any pause in military operations in Gaza, stating that the offensive will persist until Hamas is fully dismantled. Netanyahu, in remarks released by his office Tuesday, stated that Israeli forces were preparing for a major escalation in Gaza, vowing they would advance "with great strength to complete the mission... It means destroying Hamas."

Ghaziabad: A 26-year-old woman from Ghaziabad has filed a complaint against her husband and in-laws, accusing them of harassment, body shaming, and demanding dowry. In her complaint, the woman alleges that her husband repeatedly told her she should resemble Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi and body-shamed her for not meeting these expectations.

The woman, a resident of Muradnagar, was married six months ago, with her family reportedly spending over Rs 76 lakh on the wedding. In addition to the lavish wedding, the woman’s family gifted her husband a Mahindra Scorpio, along with cash and jewellery. Despite these expenses, the woman claims her in-laws continued to harass her, demanding more dowry.

The complainant, whose husband is a physical education teacher at a government school, further alleges that he frequently body-shamed her, calling her “fat and ugly.” He allegedly insisted that she exercise for three hours a day, and when she failed to comply, she was deprived of food.

The situation took a darker turn when the woman found she was pregnant two months ago. According to her statement, she informed her mother-in-law, but received no response or support. The woman reportedly claims that her husband later gave her a pill, which she later identified online as being used for abortions. She alleges that when her health began to deteriorate, her in-laws sent her back to her parents’ home. After seeking medical attention, she was informed by doctors that she had suffered a miscarriage.

She also alleged that her husband frequently watched inappropriate content online and was a habitual womaniser.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Saloni Agarwal confirmed that an FIR has been filed at the women’s police station in Ghaziabad and an investigation is underway.
