Children among 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least 51 Palestinians including children have been killed and several more injured in Israeli airstrikes targeting homes, vehicles, and crowded areas since Tuesday morning.
The Palestinian Civil Defense issued a statement confirming the extent of the damage and casualties caused by the latest Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli strikes targeted residential homes, two vehicles, and areas where large numbers of civilians had gathered, the statement said.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza since last October, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
It has killed nearly 41,500 people, mostly women and children, and injured 96,100, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory. Its blockade of the territory has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
