At least 44 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since dawn on September 20th, 2025, according to Al Jazeera. Details regarding the specific locations of these attacks within Gaza City or the types of munitions used have not been immediately released. The reporting comes amidst ongoing conflict in the region, with previous reports on the same day indicating areas of Gaza were engulfed in flames due to Israeli bombings between 6:04 AM and 7:04 AM UTC. Social media posts at approximately 7:00 AM UTC described "an entire city engulfed in flames, torn apart by Israeli bombings." Separately, activist Hamza Al-Masry claimed earlier this morning, September 20th, 2025, that the Hamas militia, not Israeli forces, was responsible for destruction and deaths in Gaza. Al-Masry alleged that Hamas militants attacked a house on Al-Nafaq Street with missiles and shells, killing five displaced residents in retaliation for an individual defending his son from an assault by Hamas elements. He further stated that over 90 Hamas militants stormed the house, turning it into rubble and terrorizing neighbors. No independent verification of these specific accusations against Hamas has been provided. In related international developments, the United States is planning to sell nearly $6 billion worth of weapons to Israel, according to a report published on September 19th, 2025. The proposed sale comes as Israel's military operations in Gaza continue, though specific details of the weapons or timeline for approval have not been disclosed by U.S. officials.
