GAZA CITY, Palestine 

At least 13 Palestinians were killed and several others injured while others remain missing following Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Sunday.

“Ten Palestinians were killed and others injured in an airstrike that targeted a family home in the Beit Lahia project in northern Gaza,” said a source from Gaza Civil Defense.

The source added that several people are still trapped under the rubble of the targeted home, as there are no civil defense or ambulance services available in the area.

The Israeli army renewed its artillery shelling and opened fire from vehicles in the Jabalia refugee camp, Beit Lahia, and around the areas of Al-Tawam and Al-Safatawi in the northern Gaza Strip, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

The Israeli army also carried out strikes in northern Gaza amid heavy gunfire from vehicles east of Jabalia.

In Gaza City, a medical source reported that a Palestinian was killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Salah Al-Din school, which shelters displaced persons near Palestine Stadium.

The same source added: “Two more Palestinians were killed, and several others were injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted a family home in Gaza City.”

In southern Gaza, Israeli naval forces also fired at the coast of Al-Qarara northwest of Khan Younis.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since an attack last year by Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

Nearly 43,000 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 100,000 others injured, according to local health authorities.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the territory’s entire population amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
