REVISES DEATH TOLL, CHANGES HEADLINE

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - At least 31 people were killed, including three children, in Israeli military operations across the war-torn Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to medics.

Four Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling targeting civilians in the Shaboura refugee camp in the southern city of Rafah, a medical source told Anadolu.

Two children lost their lives and several people were injured when an Israeli helicopter targeted a tent sheltering displaced families in Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, the source said.

Four more people, including a child, were killed and five others injured in an airstrike in the Jouret Al Lot area in the same city.

In central Gaza, one Palestinian was killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the Al-Mufti area north of the Nuseirat refugee camp, paramedics said.

Three more people were also killed and three others injured in an Israeli bombardment in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, a medical source said.

Two other Palestinians also lost their lives in another strike in western Gaza City, the source added.

Another five people were killed and several others injured, including women and children, in shelling of civilians in the same city, the source said.

Ten Palestinians were killed and several others are missing after an Israeli warplane bombed a house belonging to the Lubbad family in the Beit Lahia Project area in the northern Gaza Strip, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

Israel has launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas in October last year, killing more than 44,400 people, most of them women and children, and injuring over 105,000.

The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.

On Nov. 21, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 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 deadly war on Gaza.
