Scores of civilian casualties in Gaza as Israel goes ahead with its genocide

GAZA, Sunday, March 3, 2024 (WAFA) – In a devastating airstrike carried out by Israeli warplanes last night, a three-story house in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, was targeted, resulting in the killing of dozens of civilians, including six children. Many are still trapped under the rubble, according to local sources.

The sources confirmed the murder of 14 civilians in the airstrike which targeted the Abu Anza family house in the Al-Salam neighborhood east of Rafah, with dozens more wounded and many still missing. The attack also caused extensive damage to the surrounding area.

Meantime, in Khan Yunis, also in the south of the enclave, the Israeli occupation military executed intense bombings from the air and artillery north of the city. This assault coincided with the advancement of Israeli military vehicles towards Hamad City neighborhood, located north of the province, targeting residential homes with shells and gunfire.  

Further casualties were reported in the north and central Gaza Strip. An airstrike targeted a home in the center of Jabalia refugee camp, leading to several civilians killed and injured. Additionally, a group of civilians in the Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip were targeted, resulting in multiple injuries.

Later in the early morning, another Israeli airstrike targeted a house in northern Gaza City, resulting in several casualties. Medical sources in Gaza reported at least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured following the targeting of the Kahlout family home on Al-Saftawi Street north of Gaza City.

The ongoing Israeli war of genocide on Gaza since October 7th of last year has so far resulted in a documented toll of at least 30,320 killed and 71,533 injured, with thousands more missing under the rubble.
