2 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) — Two Palestinians were killed and 19 others were injured Sunday in two Israeli airstrikes targeting a home and a tent housing displaced people in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
The two Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, which also injured eight others, a medical source told Anadolu.
Eyewitnesses said an Israeli helicopter targeted a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Mawasi , which is designated as a “humanitarian safe zone” by the Israeli army.
In central Gaza, 11 Palestinians, mostly children and elderly, were injured when an Israeli drone struck a house in Al-Bureij refugee camp, according to paramedics.
Israel has continued its war on Gaza despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire. It has killed more than 42,600 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 99,800, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of Gaza. Israel’s siege of the Palestinian 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.
