On May 14, 2025, an Israeli airstrike killed a child in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, Palestine. Palestinian families mourned the children killed in the Israeli airstrike. Mourners knelt next to the bodies, which were wrapped in a bloodstained white shroud, and a woman shed tears. According to the local Gaza Strip hospital, 48 people, including 22 children of Palestinian descent, were killed in the May 14 airstrike.
Israeli airstrikes hit northern and southern Gaza on May 14, a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on May 13 that Israel would not stop its attacks in the Palestinian territories before Hamas was defeated, even if Hamas released hostages. It happened on May 14, a day after the Palestinian armed group Hamas released its Israeli-American hostages on May 13.
Late in the evening of May 13, the Israeli military warned residents of Jabaliya to evacuate. In Jabaliya, rescuers used only the light of cell phone cameras and hand tools to break through collapsed concrete slabs and remove the bodies of several slain children. The war in Gaza began in 2023 when militias led by Hamas killed 1,200 people in an incursion into southern Israel. Israeli retaliatory attacks have killed more than 52,800 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
