11 Palestinians killed as Israeli warplanes strike house in northern Gaza

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least 11 Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the Interior Ministry in the blockaded enclave said.

Scores of people were also injured in the strikes that targeted a house in Tal al-Zaatar neighborhood, the ministry said in a statement.

The Israeli bombardment caused widespread destruction in the area, according to eyewitnesses.

Israel has launched a massive bombardment campaign on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas into Israeli territory on Oct. 7.

Nearly 8,000 people have been killed in the conflict, including at least 6,546 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis.

Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been running out of food, water, medicines and fuel, and aid convoys allowed into Gaza have carried only a fraction of what is needed.
