36 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes in northern, central Gaza

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least 36 Palestinians were killed and several others injured by Israel in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

“Ten Palestinians were killed and others injured in an airstrike that targeted a family home in the Beit Lahia project in northern Gaza,” said a source from Gaza Civil Defense.

The source added that several people are still trapped under the rubble of the targeted home, as there are no civil defense or ambulance services available in the area.

Israeli warplanes also carried out airstrikes on a residential block near Al-Fakhoura School in Jabalia, leaving 20 people dead, a medical source said.

According to witnesses, civil defense teams were unable to reach the site of the attack due to intensive Israeli airstrikes and siege.

Two brothers were killed in Israeli artillery fire near the Indonesian Hospital in Tel al-Zaatar area east of Jabalia, while another Palestinian was killed and others were injured in Israeli shelling in the Al-Safatawi area north of Gaza City, according to medical sources.

The Israeli army renewed its artillery shelling and opened fire from vehicles in the Jabalia refugee camp, Beit Lahia, and around the areas of Al-Tawam and Al-Safatawi in the northern Gaza Strip, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

In Gaza City, a medical source reported that a Palestinian was killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Salah Al-Din School, where thousands of displaced civilians have sheltered.

Two more people were killed and several others injured in an airstrike on a home in Gaza City, the same source said.

In southern Gaza, Israeli naval forces also fired at the coast of Al-Qarara northwest of Khan Younis.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its war on Gaza.

It has killed nearly 43,000 people, mostly women and children, and wounded over 100,000 others, according to local health authorities.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
