Israeli attacks kill over 200 Palestinians in Gaza in last 24 hours: Health ministry

The Palestinian health ministry says the Israeli regime’s warplanes and artillery keep pounding the blockaded territory, killing more than 200 civilians over the past 24 hours. 

Israeli forces carried out 15 attacks and killed at least 207 Palestinians in the past 24 hours in Gaza, the ministry said while adding that 338 people were also wounded. 

Several were killed in a bombardment of a residential building in the city of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

The Israeli military also carried out a missile strike on Rafah in the south and shelled the Jabalia refugee camp in the north.

The regime has intensified its attacks in and around refugee camps, including Nuseirat, al-Maghazi and al-Bureij.

Residents said heavy fighting was also raging in central areas, citing shelling by Israeli tanks of parts of the Al-Bureij refugee camp.

Health officials in Gaza say Israeli forces have dropped more than a dozen bombs across Gaza in the past day.

Israel said on Tuesday its troops had killed dozens of Palestinians in the north of the Gaza Strip, while its aircraft and tanks stepped up strikes in the south of the besieged territory.

About 22, 200 Palestinians have been killed since the US-Israeli genocide began in early October. At least 57,000 have been wounded.

Additionally, more than 320 Palestinians have also been killed across the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers since October 7.
