At least 11 killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in war-torn Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine
At least 11 Palestinians were killed and several others injured in fresh Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, according to medical sources and witnesses.
Three people lost their lives when an Israeli drone struck near Zeitoun Martyrs School southeast of Gaza City, a medical source said.
Four more people were killed and several others injured in Israeli shelling targeting refugee tents at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah, another medical source said.
Another Israeli strike on a tent for displaced people killed at least one person west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the same source said.
Three more Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike targeting a group of civilians near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, the Civil Defense Agency said.
Several people were also reported injured in a drone strike on a sewing workshop inside a house north of Gaza City, the agency added.
Several residential buildings were also demolished by the Israeli army east of Gaza City and central Rafah in southern Gaza, witnesses said.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 Hamas attack despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
More than 40,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed and nearly 94,300 others injured, according to local health authorities.
An ongoing blockade of the enclave has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.
Israel faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
