GAZA: Five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike which targeted two houses this evening in the city of Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, according to local sources.
Witnesses reported that the Israeli occupation forces targeted two houses in Deir al-Balah, resulting in the tragic murder of five civilians. The strike further left several others missing, trapped beneath the rubble of the targeted homes.
According to local health authorities, the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since early October 2023 has so far resulted in over 30,960 reported fatalities, most of whom are children and women, with an additional 72,524 documented injuries.
This toll remains initial since thousands of victims are feared dead under rubble or left in the streets, with Israeli forces hindering access for ambulance and civil defense crews.
