GAZA CITY, Palestine
At least seven Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the Civil Defense Agency said.
Four people lost their lives while several others were injured when an Israeli fighter jet hit a food stand in al-Shawwa, east of Gaza City, spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Anadolu.
Three more people were killed in Israeli shelling in the southern city of Rafah, he added.
Artillery shelling also targeted Zeitoun and al-Sabra neighborhoods in Gaza City, but no information was yet available about casualties.
The fresh attacks came hours after at least 40 people were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes on a tent camp in Khan Younis in al-Mawasi area, which Israel has designated as a “humanitarian zone” for displaced civilians in Gaza.
Israel has continued a brutal military offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 Hamas attack despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
Nearly 41,000 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and 94,800 others injured, according to local health authorities.
An ongoing blockade of the enclave has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.
Israel faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
