Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 17 Palestinians
In a recent escalation of hostilities, at least 17 Palestinians have lost their lives, and numerous others have sustained injuries following a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple locations across the Gaza Strip. The strikes mark a significant intensification of the conflict in the besieged region.
The official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, reported that a violent shelling by Israeli forces targeted the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of nine individuals and injuries to several others.
The offensive operations involved heavy shelling targeting the northern section of the refugee camp, following a series of air raids conducted in that region.
According to reports from local media, Israeli aircraft have launched attacks on multiple sites, including the al-Mustaqbal Tower situated in al-Jadeed Camp, as well as the al-Nasra Tower located in Camp 5, both in the Nuseirat area.
According to WAFA, four Palestinians were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes that hit two residences in the Beit Lahia housing complex in northern Gaza.
In the southern region, four Palestinians lost their lives, and numerous others were injured in an Israeli military operation east of Khan Yunis. The incident involved an airstrike targeting an individual on a bicycle, according to local sources.
Reports from resistance media indicate that multiple individuals sustained injuries following the deployment of Israeli munitions via quadcopters in the northern Gaza area of Jabalia.
Israel’s recent military action followed the deaths of over a dozen individuals after the country’s airstrikes targeted al-Tabi’een school, a refuge for displaced persons, and a residential structure in the northern area of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli military units have surrounded a school located in the Beit Lahia project region, compelling those who were displaced and taking refuge within to vacate the premises.
Supported by the United States and its Western allies, Israel commenced a military operation in Gaza on October 7, 2023. This action followed a surprise offensive named Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas. The operation was reportedly in retaliation to Israel’s longstanding campaign of violence and destruction targeting Palestinians.
According to recent reports, the ongoing military operations in Gaza have resulted in the death of 44,282 Palestinians, with a significant number of the casualties being women and children. Additionally, 104,880 individuals have been injured in the conflict. It has also been reported that at least 10,000 people are currently unaccounted for and are feared to be trapped beneath the debris of destroyed homes across the region.
According to reports, there have been allegations of war crimes, including the deliberate starvation of the populace and targeted assaults on civilians within the blockaded region.
