Civilians killed in Israeli airstrike: At least 21 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian security sources told news agency Xinhua on Saturday that an Israeli warplane struck a residential house in the al-Tuffah area, east of Gaza city, with a missile.
Palestinian medical sources said 10 Palestinians, including three children and a woman, were killed in the attack. At least five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike near a school northwest of Gaza City, the Palestinian Civil Defense said in a press statement, reports Xinhua news agency.
Six other people were killed in Israeli shelling on a tent for displaced people in the al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to local sources and eyewitnesses. However, the Israeli military has not yet commented on these incidents.
Let us tell you that Hamas launched a sudden attack through the southern Israeli border on 7 October 2023 in which more than 1200 people were killed and about 250 civilians were taken hostage. After this, Israel launched large-scale attacks against Hamas in the Gaza Strip which are still continuing.
The number of Palestinians killed in ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 41,182, Gaza-based health officials said in a statement on Saturday.
