GAZA, Saturday, August 31, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli airstrikes on the at-Tuffah neighborhood, east of the city of Gaza, Saturday evening killed several Palestinians and injured others, according to local sources.

They said that Israeli fighter jets pounded a house in the neighborhood, killing several civilians and injuring others.

Meanwhile, the fighter jets targeted a residential compound in the periphery of Ad-Durra Hospital in the same neighborhood, at a time when other airstrikes and artillery shelling targeted Gaza city and the area east of Jabalia refugee camp.

Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 40,691 Palestinians and injuring over 94,060 others.

Moreover, at least 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.
