ISTANBUL (AA) – Israeli forces carried out intense airstrikes on Saturday in several locations in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza said.
The ministry released statements to provide details for a string of Israeli forces attacks that were directed at various locations in Gaza.
"Occupation (forces) aircraft launched a series of violent raids in the vicinity of the Saraya Junction in the center of Gaza City,” the ministry said, adding that they also “launched violent raids on the Tal al-Zaatar area and the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza."
Intense raids were carried out by the Israeli forces’ aircraft in the north and center of Gaza City, in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, and close to the town of Jabalia in the northern Strip, it said.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip -- including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship -- since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.
At least 11,078 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,506 children and 3,027 women.
The Israeli death toll is around 1,200, according to official figures.
