At least 40 Palestinians were killed late Tuesday and Wednesday morning in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip as the Israeli genocidal war continues despite efforts to reach a cease-fire.
Quoting local sources, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that 13 people were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home belonging to the Shahin family in the southern area of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip.
Seven Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home belonging to the Nassar family in the Nuseirat refugee camp, and another Palestinian was killed in another Israeli strike on the camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Five more Palestinians were killed in two Israeli airstrikes on two homes in the Bureij refugee camp.
In Gaza City, eyewitnesses told Anadolu that seven Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a school sheltering displaced people.
Another strike on a home belonging to the Sha'ath family in the Naser area of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip left one woman and four children dead.
Two more Palestinians were killed in a drone strike on a group of people in the Khirbet Al-Adas area in Rafah.
Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has reportedly claimed over 46,600 lives, most of them women and children, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November last year for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
