Gaza Genocide: Israeli Regime Kills Dozens in Overnight Raids
At least 33 Palestinians have been killed and several others wounded, following the latest Israeli air strikes on at least three residential neighbourhoods in Gaza, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The majority of the casualties in the overnight strikes were women and children. At least 10 people were killed in the Israeli strike on a four-storey house owned by the al-Nadim family in the al-Zaytoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City. Witnesses said the strike hit without any warning.
Another eight people were killed and dozens of others wounded after two Israeli air raids hit the residence of the al-Hur family in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In southern Gaza, three residents were killed and several others were injured when an aircraft bombarded the home of the Satri family in the Khan Younis refugee camp. WAFA correspondents also reported 12 deaths, including a child and five women, after an Israeli strike on the Hamayda family home in Rafah.
These are people, not numbers
Gaza’s Health Ministry has published the names of thousands of Palestinians killed in the Israeli attacks, saying “behind every number is a story of a person”, after US President Joe Biden questioned the reliability of its death toll.
At least 7,028 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 7, as Israel promises to continue raids into Palestinian territories. More than 1,400 people were killed in the Hamas attack on Israeli-occupied territories.
Mosque destroyed in deadly Israeli strike west of Gaza City
A number of people have been killed and injured in another Israeli air raid, which also destroyed a mosque, according to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA.
The report said the multiple strikes at dawn on Friday hit an area in the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, destroying residential buildings and the nearby White Mosque.
According to WAFA, several other targets near Gaza City were also struck, including the neighbourhoods of al-Zaytoun and al-Shujayea.
The exact number of casualties was not immediately known.
Continued aggression to destabilise the entire region
Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh has warned that ongoing Israeli “aggression” against Gaza will “destabilise the entire region”.
The United States says it has conducted air strikes on two alleged Iranian-linked facilities in Syria after previous attacks on US personnel this week. US defence secretary claims the strikes are not linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
The UN General Assembly has begun an emergency meeting on Gaza, with a vote on a resolution drafted by Jordan expected on Friday.
