The Israeli strikes targeted a group of civilians northwest of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of two people, including a child, according to Wafa report.

In a separate attack, Israeli warplanes bombed an area near Al-Fakhoura school in the Jabalia camp, killing one civilian and wounding several others.

Additionally, five bodies and multiple injured individuals were brought to Sheikh Radwan Clinic in northern Gaza City after Israeli forces struck a house belonging to the Anqah family in the Zarqa area in the Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.

Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza, the strip has witnessed widespread devastation. 

The ongoing Israeli aggression by land, sea, and air has claimed the lives of 40,786 people, the majority of whom are women and children, and injured 94,224 others, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Thousands of victims remain unaccounted for, either trapped under the rubble or scattered in the streets, as rescue teams struggle to reach them amid continuous Israeli attacks and overwhelming destruction.
