GAZA CITY, Palestine/ANKARA (AA) - At least 22 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Saturday.
According to medical sources, 10 of the victims were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a home belonging to the al-Khour family in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.
Eyewitnesses reported that the house was bombed while residents were inside.
The Civil Defense said in a statement that many individuals remain missing beneath the rubble of the destroyed al-Khour home, with search and rescue operations ongoing.
Earlier at dawn, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded when another family home in the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City was targeted.
In southern Gaza Strip, an Israeli airstrike targeted a gathering of civilians near Kuwait Hospital in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis killing three Palestinians, according to medical sources.
Another airstrike hit the Abu Mazid family's home in Al-Zawayda town in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians.
In the northern Gaza Strip, a medical source confirmed that two more Palestinians were killed in a strike near the Education Roundabout in Beit Lahia, with additional injuries reported.
Two more Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli strikes: one on the Izbat Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza and another on Al-Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Al-Awda Hospital had also reported that Israeli forces bombed a fishing boat off the coast of Al-Zawayda, injuring six fishermen.
In Al-Mawasi, Israeli shelling struck a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians, causing multiple injuries.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled various areas of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City and western Rafah.
Nearly 51,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
