GAZA: Several civilians were killed and others injured tonight, mostly children and women, in the ongoing Israeli strikes on different locations in the devastated Gaza Strip.
At least seven civilians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli shelling that targeted a civilian’s house in the al-Heker area in Deir al-Balah City, in the central Gaza Strip, said sources.
Three other civilians were killed in a drone strike that targeted an area near the al-Saraya junction in the center of Gaza City.
An Israeli airstrike also bombarded a house in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City, claiming the lives of four civilians.
Israeli armed helicopters also opened heavy fire targeting areas east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Al-Baraka Street in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, was also shelled intensively, reported sources.
The occupation warplanes also targeted the vicinity of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq Mosque in the al-Sabra neighborhood, in Gaza City.
Since the start of the Israeli occupation’s ae
rial, ground and sea aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7 of last year, more than 27,365 people, mostly children and women, have been killed and over 66,630 others have been wounded. More than 8,000 people were reported missing.
Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, lack of fuel and devastated infrastructure, which render it difficult to document figures.
