GAZA, Saturday, October 21, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli airstrikes continued to rain down on Gaza this evening, claiming multiple Palestinian lives and leaving numerous others injured.

WAFA correspondent said Israeli warplanes targeted the Bdeir family home in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in at least one confirmed fatality and multiple casualties.

Israeli airstrikes also hit a home near Al-Quds Open University in Gaza City, leading to many casualties and injuries among Palestinian civilians.

In another instance of the relentless strikes, Israeli warplanes bombed an 8-story residential building located in the south of Gaza City. The assault left the building to rubble and caused severe damage to the surrounding area.

In Khan Yunis province, in southern Gaza, three houses were struck by Israeli warplanes in the town of Bani Suheila, further exacerbating the destruction in the war-torn territory.

Israeli airstrikes also hit two homes in the Saqia area in the heart of Khan Yunis. These targeted homes belonged to the Abu Hamad and Abu Taym families, while another strike severely damaged the home of the Abu al-Ola family.

One survivor, who was in the vicinity of the targeted Abu al-Ola family home, sustained injuries and was rushed to hospital for medical treatment.  

The ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people has brought immense suffering to the civilian Palestinian population especially in the Gaza Strip, with casualties, particularly among innocent children and healthcare workers, mounting around the clock.
