AP file photo In a fresh new offensive, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have claimed the lives of 23 people, including children, in the war-battered territory of Gaza on Sunday, as per Gaza's civil defence agency, reported AFP. Mahmud Bassal, the civil defence spokesman, told AFP that his services "transported 23 martyrs, including several children and women" who were killed in various locations around the besieged territory. The Israeli military told AFP it couldn't comment on the reported incidents but said its ongoing campaign aims to "dismantle Hamas military capabilities" following the group's October 2023 attack on Israel. Bassal informed that two children were killed in an air strike in their home, which was completely destroyed, in the Zeitun neighbourhood of Gaza City early on Sunday morning. A family member, Abdel Rahman Azzam, 45, told AFP that he had heard 'huge explosions' coming from his relative's house, when he 'rushed out in panic and saw the house destroyed and on fire," he said. "We evacuated more than 20 injured people, including two martyrs, two children from the family. The screams of children and women were non-stop," Azzam said.

Man held for setting vehicle showroom on fire in Aurangabad
Aurangabad: A man was arrested on Sunday evening for allegedly setting a two-wheeler showroom ablaze in the district, causing damages worth about Rs 50 lakh. The accused, identified as Prem Kumar, was taken into custody by the city police following an investigation into the incident. The fire broke out on June 27 night at a two-wheeler showroom near Hasouli Mor under Aurangabad Nagar police station limits. Initially believed to be an accident, the incident took a criminal turn after the showroom owner, Ashok Kumar Singh, filed a formal complaint suspecting foul play. According to Aurangabad town police station in charge Upendra Singh, Vishnu Sharan, a local resident, had purchased a scooter from the showroom on March 31. After experiencing issues with the vehicle, he returned it for repairs. The scooter was handed back to him on June 27, but he remained dissatisfied with the repairs. Subsequently, Vishnu's relative, Prem, allegedly visited the showroom, where he reportedly assaulted the staff and issued threats. The showroom owner, fearing further trouble, shut down the premises and left. Later that night, he was informed that a fire had broken out at the showroom. In his complaint, Singh accused Prem and Vishnu of setting the showroom on fire. Based on the complaint and preliminary evidence, Prem was arrested. Police said the investigation is going on and further action will be taken based on the findings.
