ISTANBUL

At least 51 Palestinians, including 12 children, were killed and dozens of others injured in the latest Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas across the Gaza Strip since early Tuesday, sources and witnesses said.

Thirteen people were killed and dozens of others injured in an Israeli strike targeting civilians waiting for aid near a distribution center along the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, medical sources told Anadolu.

Five more Palestinians were killed and others remained missing following an Israeli airstrike on a family home in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, medics said.

A Palestinian lost his life near an aid distribution point northwest of Rafah city in southern Gaza, according to the same source.

Separately, the Israeli army bombed several homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing 30 Palestinians, including 14 women and 12 children, medical sources told Anadolu.

A fetus was found after being blown from a mother's womb in an explosion, witnesses said.

In Gaza City, a man and his wife were killed, and many others injured in an Israeli strike targeting an apartment near Haidar Roundabout.

The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has destroyed the enclave and led to a severe hunger crisis.

On Monday, Israeli rights groups B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, citing the systematic destruction of Palestinian society and the deliberate dismantling of the territory’s healthcare system.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his 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 war on the enclave.
