GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - At least eight Palestinians, including a woman, on Friday were killed in two Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City and Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
A medical source in the Al-Ahli Baptist hospital told Anadolu that three Palestinians, including a woman, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the vicinity of the Firas Market in the central Gaza City.
In the northern Gaza Strip, where the Israeli army has been launching a deadly incursion for nearly a month, five Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike in Beit Lahia area.
Witnesses said the Al-Fakhura area in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza, came under heavy artillery shelling and airstrikes.
More than 1,200 people have been killed in northern Gaza since the offensive began on Oct. 5, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense Service.
Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since October last year despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
More than 43,200 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 101,800 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
