27 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Gaza Strip
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least 27 Palestinians were killed early Thursday in Israeli airstrikes in southern Gaza Strip, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
The Israeli army carried out airstrikes on wide areas in northern and southern Gaza Strip, particularly targeting the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, the agency cited local sources as saying.
The military artillery also shelled the neighborhoods of Al-Daraj and Al-Tuffah in the east of Gaza City, as well as the town of Jabalia in the northern part of the enclave, the agency added.
Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip from the air and land, imposed a siege and mounted a ground offensive in retaliation for an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7. It has killed at least 18,608 Palestinians and injured 50,594 since then, according to Gaza’s health authorities.
The Israeli death toll in the Hamas attack stood at 1,200, according to official figures.
