ANKARA (AA) – At least 22 Palestinians were killed and many others injured in a series of overnight Israeli raids across the Gaza Strip, as the onslaught entered day 321 on Thursday.

As many as 11 Palestinians, most of them children and women, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the town of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, a medical source told Anadolu.

Three more people were killed when Israeli fighter jets hit another house in the Jabalia refugee camp, the source said.

In the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on a home left six Palestinians killed, including three children, and four others injured.

A mother and her child were also killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Palestinian home in the city of Khan Younis, another medical source said.

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas. The onslaught has since killed over 40,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 93,000 others, according to local health authorities.

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 for its actions in the blockaded enclave.
