GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least five Palestinians were killed and several others injured, including children, in Israeli airstrikes in southern and central Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

The Israeli army targeted a roadside stall selling goods in the southwestern Qizan Abu Rashwan area of Khan Younis, southern Gaza City, killing two Palestinians and injuring several others, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

In another Israeli attack, a medical source told Anadolu that three Palestinians were killed and 10 others, mostly children, injured in an airstrike on a home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

According to the source, one of the casualties arrived at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat as "remains," while 10 others, mostly children, were treated for injuries, according to a statement issued by the hospital.

Two other victims' "body parts" were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, according to eyewitness accounts.

Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, in October 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.

Nearly 43,700 people have since been killed in Gaza, mostly women and children, and over 103,000 others injured, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
