64 Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strikes, Including Children, Women, and Aid Seekers in Gaza

Israeli attacks continue across the Gaza Strip as the war enters its 21st month, targeting civilians, displaced persons, and aid lines amid accusations of genocide.

Watan-Since dawn on Friday, 64 Palestinians, including children, women, and 20 people waiting for humanitarian aid, have been killed and dozens injured in scattered Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.

These attacks are part of the genocidal war the Israeli army has been waging for the 21st consecutive month against Palestinians in Gaza.

Israeli assaults since early morning targeted civilians waiting for aid, tents sheltering the displaced, residential homes, and civilian gatherings across the strip.

To date, the war has left more than 192,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them women and children, with over 10,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine killing many, including dozens of children.
