ISTANBUL 

At least seven Palestinians were killed and others wounded early Wednesday in Israeli fire and airstrikes on Gaza City and Deir al-Balah, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing medical sources.

According to the sources, Israeli forces shot and killed four people waiting for aid in the southeast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, wounding others.

Three more people were killed and several injured in an airstrike on al-Thani Street in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of northern Gaza City, the sources said.

Israel is facing mounting condemnation for its genocidal war on Gaza, where it has killed nearly 61,600 victims since October 2023.

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.
