ANKARA

At least 34 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday as Israel continued its genocide despite international calls for a ceasefire.

In one of the latest attacks, medical sources told Anadolu that Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received 10 bodies along with an unspecified number of wounded including women, children and elderly people after an Israeli strike targeted tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the strike caused the tents to catch fire.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing medical sources, said 10 people were killed in a single strike on a home in central Gaza City.

Three civilians were also killed in a strike on a home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, said sources.

Four more people lost their lives in Israeli drone strikes in the Al-Zaytun and Shujaiya neighborhoods in Gaza City.

Israeli fighter jets also hit another home in the northern town of Jabalia, leaving three people dead, a medical source told Anadolu.

The source said a Palestinian died of his wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli strike on eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Another Palestinian was killed and many others injured in a drone strike in the town of Al-Qarara in Khan Younis. In the west of the city, Israeli forces shelled a fishing vessel off the coast of al-Mawasi, injuring two people.

Two more perished and eight sustained injuries in an Israeli drone strike targeting a gathering in a refugee camp in western Khan Younis, a medical source told Anadolu.

Heavy artillery shelling was also reported overnight in the towns of Abasan, Al-Fukhari and Al-Manara in Khan Younis and the outskirts of the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza, but no information was yet available about casualties.

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

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 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.
