Eleven civilians killed, others wounded in Israeli shelling of northern and southern Gaza

GAZA, November 15, 2024 (WAFA) - Eleven civilians were killed and several others were injured on Friday evening in an Israeli aerial and artillery bombardment of the northern and southern war-torn Gaza Strip.

WAFA correspondent reported that four civilians were killed and several others were injured in the Israeli shelling of the al-Karama neighborhood north of Gaza City.

Two civilians were also killed and others were injured in the Israeli bombing of a house in the neighborhood of Zeitoun southeast of the city.

The occupation forces shot dead a young man as he attempted to flee from northern Gaza to the center of the Strip. Forces opened fire at the young man and prevented the ambulance crews from approaching him, leaving him to bleed to death.

In the south of the Strip, civilians and rescue and ambulance crews recovered the bodies of four civilians who were killed in the occupation’s strikes on scattered areas east of the city of Rafah.

The number of civilians killed in the Strip since dawn today has risen to at least 37, according to medical sources.

The occupation's warplanes and artillery also bombed the town of Beit Lahiya in the north of the Strip, multiple neighborhoods in Gaza City and the Shabora area of Rafah in the south.

The occupation forces further blew up several residential buildings west of the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the Strip.

The occupation’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip by land, sea, and air since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in the killing of 43,764 civilians, most of whom are women and children, and the injury of 103,490 others.

Thousands of victims remain missing; either buried under the rubble or scattered on the roads, as rescue teams face tremendous difficulties in reaching them due to the continued Israeli attacks and the massive amount of debris.
