GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - Scores of people were killed and injured Friday in an Israeli bombing that targeted the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, according to the Palestinian media.

The Israeli bombing of several areas in the Gaza Strip continued, official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Israeli attacks are mostly carried out in the eastern areas of Khan Younis and on the beaches of Rafah in southern Gaza Strip, while Israeli warplanes targeted the central areas of the Gaza Strip, the agency said.

Israel resumed its military offensive against the Gaza Strip on Dec. 1 after the end of a weeklong humanitarian pause with the Palestinian group, Hamas.

At least 17,177 Palestinians have been killed and more than 46,000 others injured in relentless air and ground attacks on the enclave since Oct. 7 following a cross-border attack by Hamas.

The Israeli death toll in the Hamas attack stood at 1,200, according to official figures.
