10 Palestinians killed in Israeli overnight airstrikes in central Gaza

The Israeli army killed at least 10 more Palestinians in raids on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip amid ongoing shelling across the tiny enclave as its ongoing deadly onslaught enters its day 285.

Speaking to Anadolu, Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said the rescue teams recovered seven bodies and a number of injured people from the rubble of a destroyed home of the Diab family in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported that an Israeli airstrike on the Abdullah Azzam Mosque in the Nuseirat refugee camp left two people killed and 15 others injured.

It added that another Palestinian was killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike on a home of the Eisawi family in the Nuseirat camp.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli overnight artillery shelling was reported in all areas of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City, Khan Younis and Rafah.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.

Over 38,700 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and more than 89,000 injured, according to local health authorities.

Over nine months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
