GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - At least 10 Palestinians, including nine members of a family, were killed and several others injured on Saturday in an Israeli attack targeting central Gaza Strip.
Medical sources told Anadolu that 10 Palestinians, including a child, were killed and several others injured as Israeli forces targeted a house in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip.
The sources added that among the fatalities were nine members of the Jahjouh family, including seven brothers, a woman and a child.
Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the Palestinian group Hamas.
More than 38,000 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 87,000 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Nearly nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
