ANKARA (AA) – At least 23 Palestinians, including a woman and her six children, were killed on Sunday in fresh Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.

A woman and her six children were killed in an airstrike on a house east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, the sources at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu.

Seven more people were killed and several others wounded in another Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the source said.

Israeli artillery shelling was reported in the eastern areas of the Maghazi and Bureij refugee camps and the city of Deir al-Balah, witnesses said.

Four Palestinians, including a woman, were killed when an Israeli drone targeted their house in eastern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

Another woman was killed and several people were injured when an Israeli drone hit a house in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, according to the same sources.

Civil Defense teams retrieved the bodies of four people after an Israeli airstrike in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Local sources told Anadolu that the Israeli army also demolished dozens of residential buildings in Khan Younis and the Saudi neighborhood in western Rafah.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7 attack last year by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.

The Israeli onslaught has since killed nearly 40,100 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 92,600, according to local health authorities.

More than 10 months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
