Dozens of civilians killed in Gaza by Israeli airstrike
Reports from local sources indicate that ongoing Israeli airstrikes in several areas of the Gaza Strip have resulted in casualties among Palestinian civilians.
In the Al-Mashhara area near Tamraz station on Al-Nafaq Street in Al-Tuffah neighborhood, four civilians were killed and eight others injured when Israeli aircraft bombed a residential apartment owned by a local family.
Additionally, in the Al-Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza City, Israeli airstrikes targeted a house belonging to the Zaino family near Jaffa School, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuring 13 others, according to ambulance crews.
In Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, one person was killed and three others wounded due to Israeli artillery shelling a group of civilians on Al-Shaaf Street. The airstrikes also caused significant destruction of residential buildings in Al-Shuja’iya, leading to thick smoke rising from the area.
Israeli artillery shells were reported in several other locations across Gaza, including the northwestern area of Nuseirat camp, eastern Khan Yunis, Yabna camp, and near Al-Awda roundabout in Rafah. Additionally, Israeli Quadcopter aircraft intensified flights over Deir al-Balah.
Since the onset of Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has risen to 37,953, with the majority being children and women. The injured count stands at 87,266. The ongoing conflict has led to an indeterminate toll, with thousands still trapped under rubble and on roads, hampering rescue efforts by ambulance crews. (ILKHA)
