GAZA, November 20, 2024 (WAFA) – At least five Palestinians were killed and 15 others injured on Wednesday evening in an Israeli airstrike targeting northern Gaza, according to local t.
WAFA correspondent reported the airstrike hit a civilian area in the Beit Lahiya project, located in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The five victims were killed instantly, and several others were injured in the attack.
Earlier in the day, a series of Israeli airstrikes across Gaza resulted in significant casualties. In the afternoon, at least 20 Palestinians were reported killed, and many others injured in separate bombings across the region.
Medical sources confirmed that three individuals lost their lives in a targeted Israeli strike on a group of civilians in the Khirbat al-Addas area, east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. The bodies were transferred to the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis for identification.
Meanwhile, seven people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Attar Street, located in the southern part of the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.
In central Gaza, six people, including displaced families, were killed in a bombing of the Khalid Ibn al-Walid School in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The school had been sheltering several displaced families fleeing the ongoing Israeli attacks.
Elsewhere, a separate Israeli shelling targeted a refugee center inside the Awani al-Harthani School in northern Gaza, killing three people, including two children, while several others were wounded.
Additionally, a drone strike hit the area of Tal al-Zaatar in northern Gaza, injuring one civilian after a missile was dropped on residential homes.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 43,985 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 104,092 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
