At least 25 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, as the Israeli army continues its genocidal campaign in the Palestinian enclave.

According to medical sources and eyewitness accounts, the Israeli airstrikes targeted a home, displacement tents, and groups of civilians in various parts of Gaza.

In Khan Younis city, 13 Palestinians were killed in four Israeli airstrikes.

The first strike targeted a tent housing displaced members of the Qadi family in the Mawasi area, killing five people.

The second targeted a tent belonging to the Abu Nadda family in the same area, killing four people, including two children, according to a medical source.

The third strike hit a home belonging to the Abu Shnaila family, killing two Palestinians and injuring several others, mostly women and children, according to a civil defense statement.

The fourth hit the Ma’an area in eastern Khan Younis where a woman and her son were killed.

Eyewitnesses also reported that army vehicles opened fire east of the Al-Qarara area in Khan Younis.

Two Palestinians from the al-Bayouk family were killed in artillery shelling on the Al-Nasr neighborhood in eastern Rafah, southern Gaza, where Israeli artillery continued bombing the eastern and western areas while also demolishing residential buildings in these regions.

In the central Gaza Strip, two Palestinians were killed in two Israeli airstrikes targeting Deir al-Balah, and Al-Bureij camp, according to a medical source.

Two more Palestinians from the al-Hajj family were killed when Israeli forces targeted a group of civilians in Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza.

In Gaza city, a medical source confirmed the killing of two Palestinians and the injuries of four others in an Israeli airstrike on a tent housing displaced people near Abu Hasira Street, close to Gaza Port.

In northern Gaza, four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on the Al-Attatra area, west of Beit Lahia, according to a medical source.

More than 51,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for 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.
