GAZA: Two Palestinian children and a woman Monday evening were killed in two Israeli airstrikes to the north and west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central blockaded Gaza Strip, according to health sources.
They said that Israeli warplanes carried out four airstrikes, killing two children, as others were wounded by Israeli military gunfire to the north of the refugee camp.
This came as an Israeli drone targeted a house in as-Sawarha area, west of the refugee camp, killing a woman and wounding others.
Meanwhile, according to the sources, the bodies of five people were recovered from the wreckage of destroyed houses across the city of Khan Younes, in addition to the bodies of nine others out of 400 people who had been slain by the occupation forces around al-Shifa Medical Complex.
The occupation forces blew up several houses close to the area of Wadi Gaza, north of the refugee camp, as Israeli warplanes pounded the city of Deir al-Balah, the area surrounding Street 5 in Khan Younes, the eastern neighb
ourhoods of the city of Gaza and Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza.
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 33,797 Palestinians and injuring over 76,465 others.
Moreover, at least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
