GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL (AA) – At least 24 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, medics said.
Israeli warplanes struck a home in Al-Saftawi neighborhood, north of Gaza City, leaving seven people dead, a medical source said.
One Palestinian was killed in another airstrike targeting a home near Al-Quds University in Gaza City, he added.
Another medical source said that two people, including a disabled person, were killed by Israeli army fire in southern Gaza City.
Seven more people were killed and two others injured in another strike targeting a home in the northern town of Beit Lahia, the source added.
In central Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a civilian gathering on Al-Nafaq Street, a medical source said.
A Palestinian child was also killed, and his family members were injured in Israeli shelling of their home in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Israeli fighter jets also shelled a tent sheltering displaced people, killing one person and injuring several others in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, a medical source said.
Medics said that Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the northern town of Jabalia early Thursday.
Two Palestinians were also injured in two separate attacks in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, while a civilian was wounded when an Israeli drone opened fire near Tibet al-Nuwairi, west of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Additionally, an Israeli airstrike targeted a Palestinian police naval facility west of the Nuseirat camp, but no information was yet available about injuries.
Israeli army forces also shelled the eastern areas of Gaza City and Khan Younis, the Bureij and the Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza, and Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia north of the enclave, witnesses said.
The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing 855 people, injuring nearly 1,900, and shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas that took hold in January.
The UN estimates that around 124,000 Palestinians have been displaced again since Israel resumed its attacks on Gaza.
Israel has killed more than 50,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 113,900 since October 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
