According to Gaza’s Civil Defense, more than 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, amid a worsening humanitarian disaster caused by the ongoing brutal conflict, report presstv.ir.
Mahmoud Bassal, the agency’s spokesman, said Monday's deadly attacks by the occupation's military targeted "schools, homes and even gatherings of people" in Gaza.
One of the Israeli air raids struck a house in Gaza City's Shujaiya neighborhood, killing 11 people and injuring several others, he said in a statement.
The spokesman added that seven people lost their lives in the Israeli bombing of Gaza City's al-Maamal street while five others were killed in the aerial assaults on the Salaheddin al-Ayyubi school in al-Darraj neighborhood.
'Hospitals overwhelmed'
"There is no room in hospitals to receive the wounded," Bassal pointed out.
He also reported fatal Israeli strikes on the city of Jabalia in northern Gaza, as well as Khan Yunis and Rafah in the Palestinian territory's south.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Wafa news agency said six people were killed and over 30 others wounded in an Israeli air raid which hit the Abu Qeinas family home in Gaza City.
It further noted that two more Palestinians lost their lives after Israeli warplanes targeted civilians sheltering near UNRWA schools in al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City.
Israel launched its bloody offensive against Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
So far, the occupying regime has killed at least 46,584 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 109,731 others, in the besieged territory.
During its brutal onslaught, Israel has targeted Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, and schools, in blatant violation of international law.
