    On May 7, 2025, bodies of victims killed in an Israeli military attack on a restaurant were transported from the scene in Gaza City to a hospital. At least 29 people were killed in the Israeli military's attack on the restaurant. Footage showed the horrific scene of multiple bodies, including a man still seated in a chair inside the eatery, and several children lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood.

    On the afternoon of May 7, Al-Wafda Street in Gaza City was bustling as usual with its makeshift market. The first missile struck a street stall directly. Minutes later, a second missile hit the popular sandwich shop nicknamed “Thailand.” Bodies that had fallen from chairs lay scattered in a gruesome scene on the snack bar's terrace. This latest bloodshed occurred just days after the Israeli military approved plans to intensify operations in the Palestinian territories. The Israeli military has mobilized tens of thousands of reservists to implement the plan. 

    The Israeli military bombing on May 7th devastated the market and two schools being used as shelters for displaced people, killing 92 people, including two journalists. Since the Israeli military violated the ceasefire in mid-March, dozens of Palestinians have been killed daily by airstrikes. The intensification of fighting is likely to increase the death toll. With the Israeli military already controlling approximately 50% of the Gaza Strip, indefinitely strengthening its control over the area risks creating conditions for military occupation.
