In the last 24 hours, 61 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to the health ministry.
This pushes the death toll since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on the strip in October 2023 to 65,344, mostly women and children, the ministry says in a statement published on its Telegram account.
Medical sources told WAFA correspondents that dozens of people were killed and others were injured after Israeli fighter jets struck a residential building in the Al-Samar area in central Gaza City.
In the meantime, one civilian was killed and others were wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house near Al-Shifa Tower, west of Gaza City.
A child was killed when a drone struck a vehicle in the Al-Farouq neighbourhood, east of the town of Al-Zawaida, in the central Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes also carried out intensive strikes on civilian homes near Al-Quds Open University, northwest of Gaza City.
Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, over 65,344 Palestinians, the majority of them children and women, have been killed, with more than 166,000 reported wounded.
