At least 80 Palestinians killed by overnight Israeli bombardment

 

At least 80 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli attacks against Gaza, Anadolu Agency reported.

Media reports in Gaza said that Israel continued to attack various parts of the Gaza Strip, including the Nusairat Refugee Camp and the Gaza City, leaving many injured in the attacks that targeted civilian homes and buildings.

The Israeli army bombed a house on the al-Jala street, leaving many residents trapped under the rubble.

It also demolished a seven-storey building near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where displaced Palestinians are staying, resulting in the deaths of dozens, with many more trapped under the rubble.

Palestine’s civil defence teams retrieved the bodies of five Palestinians from the rubble of the building, while other rescue efforts are still ongoing.

At least five Palestinians were killed and others injured in an attack on a house in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.

According to the Media Office of the Gaza government, in the Nasr neighbourhood, many were killed when the Israeli army bombed a house.

The army had targeted a house in the Nusairat Refugee Camp, killing at least 36 Palestinians.

Since Oct 7 last year, at least 31,490 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza, and 73,439 injured amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities.

Israel has also imposed a crippling blockade on the Palestinian enclave, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.
