GAZA, November 24, 2024 (WAFA) — Seven Palestinians, including four children, were killed and several others injured early this Sunday morning in airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes on the al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.
According to WAFA reporters, two children were killed and several others injured when Israeli forces bombed a house in the al-Maghazi camp. Additionally, one man was killed and three others wounded when an Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families in the camp.
In a separate attack, four more Palestinians, including two young sisters, Aya, 12, and Tala Abu Nahl, 11, were killed in a similar Israeli attack on the al-Bureij refugee camp. Their mother and two other children sustained serious injuries. The airstrike targeted the home of the Mansour family in the camp.
The girls' father, Abdel Salam Abu Nahl, told WAFA that the family had been displaced from the al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City several months ago, seeking refuge in their relatives' house in Bureij. The family was asleep when Israeli warplanes struck their three-story building, completely destroying it and burying them under the rubble.
Meantime, rescue teams also retrieved the bodies of two more victims from the Al-Saftawi area, located in the northwest of Gaza City.
In the southern part of the Gaza Strip, several citizens were wounded, some seriously, when Israeli forces targeted a gathering of people near the Al-Aqad School in Khirbat Al-Adas, north of Rafah.
Late last night, Israeli airstrikes renewed their assault on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip. The strikes targeted the hospital's main oxygen station, causing injuries to several medical staff.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 44,176 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 104,473 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israel's genocidal attack continues 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.
