11 Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strikes Targeting Aid Seekers and Civilians Across Gaza
Israeli attacks hit displaced persons' tents, water trucks, and aid distribution sites in a deadly escalation across multiple Gaza regions.
Watan-At least 11 Palestinians were killed, including two who were waiting for aid, and others were injured early Monday in multiple Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip.
According to local sources, the Israeli military targeted tents sheltering displaced families, gatherings of civilians, a water distribution vehicle, and Palestinians waiting for American-Israeli aid packages.
In the most recent attack, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Safatawi area north of Gaza City.
In eastern Gaza, two Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike targeting a civilian gathering in Al-Tuffah neighborhood.
In western Rafah, two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces while waiting to receive joint U.S.-Israeli humanitarian aid in the Al-Shakoush area, southern Gaza.
In central Gaza, one Palestinian was killed and others wounded in a strike on a water distribution truck in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In southern Gaza, another Palestinian was killed and more were injured after an Israeli suicide drone strike hit a displaced persons’ tent in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military continued demolishing residential and civilian structures in eastern Khan Younis.
In Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelled the upper floors of the Al-Shawa and Hosary tower, though no injuries were reported.
Israeli forces also intensified the destruction of buildings and infrastructure in Zaytoun and Shuja’iyya neighborhoods, east of Gaza City, with heavy artillery shelling reported throughout the area.
On Sunday evening, the Palestinian Civil Defense said its teams were unable to reach areas in eastern Gaza City due to what it described as “merciless Israeli targeting.”
Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal stated that there were “strong indications” of casualties, injuries, and people trapped in northern parts of the city, but rescue efforts were blocked by continuous strikes.
