Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Result in 45 Palestinian Deaths, Including Entire Families

Rafah: The Israeli military's recent air, drone, and artillery strikes across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 45 Palestinians, including entire families, as the conflict intensifies. The strikes targeted homes, displacement shelters, and public gathering areas, with most casualties being women and children.

According to Anadolu Agency, the attacks have devastated multiple regions within Gaza. In the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike resulted in two fatalities and ten injuries. Meanwhile, a drone strike in the al-Mahatta area of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza claimed the lives of two civilians, including a child. Additional drone attacks near the Nuseirat refugee camp and naval bombardments along the coast have further escalated the situation.

In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, over 15 Palestinians, mainly women and children, were killed when warplanes bombed tents in the al-Mawasi area, leaving several victims burned beyond recognition. Rafah experienced similar devastation, with drone attacks in al-Shakoush resulting in at least two civilian deaths and numerous injuries.

The violence continued in Khan Younis, where a targeted airstrike near the Taiba Towers killed a man and his child, injuring seven others. Additional drone strikes in the Al-Manara and Al-Salam neighborhoods claimed more civilian lives, while an attack on the Abu Dan family home in Armida caused multiple injuries.

In northern Gaza, Jabalia refugee camp saw an Israeli drone strike on a school, killing four Palestinians, including a young girl. Another attack on Al-Dakhiliya Street led to the deaths of seven members of the Asaliya family, while rescue teams in Beit Lahia recovered six bodies from an airstrike on the Mohammed Al-Attal family tent.

Amid the ongoing assault, the International Criminal Court has previously issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The renewed attacks have shattered a ceasefire agreement established earlier in the year, with the death toll in Gaza now exceeding 51,000 since October 2023.
