Israeli airstrikes kill 5, including child, in Gaza

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least five people, including a child, were killed and several others injured in two Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday in the Gaza Strip, witnesses and medical sources said.

An Israeli fighter jet struck the Jorat al-Lout area east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing four Palestinians, witnesses said.

Medical sources at Nasser Hospital confirmed that four people had been killed in the attack.

A child was also killed in Israeli shelling of a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to his father.

Israeli artillery shelling was also reported in various areas east of Khan Younis, witnesses said.

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.

More than 39,100 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 90,200 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, which ordered Tel Aviv 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.
