GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - At least 12 Palestinians, including three children, were killed and several others injured in three Israeli airstrikes targeting a home, a tent sheltering displaced people in central Gaza, and a group of civilians in northern Gaza early Saturday morning.
Medical sources at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza said five Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an airstrike on the town of Beit Hanoun.
According to Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, six bodies and multiple injured people were transported to the hospital following an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Al-Da'wa neighborhood in the northeastern part of the camp.
Separately, medical sources at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah confirmed that an Israeli strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced families inside the Ahmed al-Kurd School in the city, killing a child and injuring several other people.
Later, Gaza's Civil Defense said they had recovered the bodies of two children and rescued seven injured individuals after an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
Witnesses told Anadolu that the airstrike targeted a building belonging to the Abu Ras family, located near the Al-Shama'a Mosque in Al-Zeitoun.
The attack destroyed large portions of the building and caused extensive damage to nearby homes and properties.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its relentless offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas last October.
In the year since, more than 41,800 people have since been killed, most of them women and children, and nearly 97,000 others injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
