The Bombing of Gaza is an ongoing aerial bombardment campaign on the Gaza Strip by the Israel Air Force during the Israel-Hamas War. During the bombing, Israeli airstrikes damaged Palestinian mosques, schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and civilian infrastructure. The campaign was compared to other major historical bombing campaigns, including the bombings of Dresden and Tokyo during World War II.Israel faced accusations of war crimes due to the large number of civilian casualties and the large percentage of civilian infrastructure destroyed. In its defense, Israel stated that it utilized a wide-scale evacuation notification system, and claimed that its targets were used by Hamas. By January 2024, researchers at Oregon University and the City University of New York estimated that as much as 62 percent of all buildings in the Gaza Strip had been damaged or destroyed.

On 31 October 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces struck a residential building in the Gaza Strip during its operations in Gaza in the Israel–Hamas war, killing at least 106 people, including 54 children.

The incident was not public knowledge until April 2024.

Tell es-Sakan, lit. "Hill of Ash", is a now almost entirely destroyed tell (archaeological mound) standing some 5 km south of Gaza City in what is today the Gaza Strip, on the northern bank of Wadi Ghazzeh. It was the site of two separate Early Bronze Age urban settlements: an earlier one representing the fortified administrative center of the Egyptian colonies in southwestern Palestine from the end of the 4th millennium, and a later, local Canaanite fortified city of the third millennium. The location at the mouth of what was probably a palaeochannel of the river, allowed it to develop as an important maritime settlement with a natural harbour. Its geographical location endowed it with a position of importance at the crossroads of land-based trade routes between the Canaan region, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, and Arabia. As of 2000, the early Egyptian settlement was the oldest fortified site known to researchers in both Egypt and Palestine.
