GAZA, Sunday, June 16, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation airstrikes targeting al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip today killed six Palestinians, including an infant, and injured scores, according to local sources.

They said that Israeli occupation warplanes targeted a house of al-Khatib family in the refugee camp, killing four people, including an infant, and injuring others.

Another airstrike targeted a house of an-Najjar family in the refugee camp, resulting in the killing of two people and injuring others.

This came as Israeli fighter jets and artillery blew up a number of residential buildings in the area of Al-Mughraqa, north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Strip.

Meanwhile, the occupation fighter jets targeted al-Mawasi area, north of Rafah, and a gathering of people in Shuja'iya neighbourhood, east of Gaza, resulting in the killing of two people and injuring others.

Tried before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 37,337 Palestinians and injuring over 85,229 others.

Moreover, approximately 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
