47 injured in attacks, medical sources tell Anadolu

At least 26 Palestinians were killed and 47 injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip late Thursday, said medical sources.

An Israeli bombardment targeted a house in the Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, killing two Palestinians and injuring four, they said.

Another strike targeted a gathering in the town of Al-Zawayda in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and injuring three others.

At least 16 Palestinians were killed and 30 injured, including children, in strikes that targeted two houses north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, said medical sources.

Four Palestinians were killed and 10 others were injured, including children, in a bombardment that targeted a house in northwest Gaza City, sources said.

Two Palestinian brothers were killed and several others injured when an Israeli warplane bombed a house in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, Palestinian paramedics told Anadolu.

The Israeli army has continued a deadly onslaught in northern Gaza since Oct. 5 to reportedly prevent the Palestinian resistance group Hamas from regrouping amid a siege on the area. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.

More than 1,200 people have been killed in northern Gaza since the offensive began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The onslaught is the latest episode in a brutal Israeli war on Gaza since an attack by Hamas in October last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.

More than 43,160 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 101,500 injured, according to local health authorities.

The onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.​​​​​​​

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