At least eight Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a home in Deir el-Balah, a medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital says, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. An unspecified number of people were also injured in the attack, the source added.
Citing al-Quds Hospital, another report shared that another 20 people were killed and more than 124 injured while waiting for aid near the so-called Netzarim Corridor, south of Gaza City. The bodies of nine Palestinians have also been recovered after Israeli air attacks on homes in Jabalia al-Balad, according to a source at al-Shifa Hospital cited Al Jazeera Arabic.
At least three other Palestinians from the same family were also killed in an Israeli attack on a tent housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area near the city of Khan Younis, a source at Nasser Medical Complex has told Al Jazeera Arabic.
The displacement camp at al-Mawasi – repeatedly described as a “safe” area by Israel – is one of the most overcrowded places in Gaza, devastated by 21 months of relentless bombardment.
Israeli forces had again opened fire at Palestinians seeking aid at a GHF site in central Gaza, killing at least two people and wounding 92, according to a medical source.
The latest attack comes hours after Israeli forces killed 14 Palestinians gathered at the GHF site in southern Rafah.
A UN commission says Israeli attacks on schools, religious and cultural sites in Gaza amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of seeking to exterminate Palestinians.
“Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination,” the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory said in a report.
It paid special attention to Gaza but also focused on Israeli attacks on civilians in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel.
