GAZA, December 7, 2024 (WAFA) – At least 10 Palestinians have been killed in the latest wave of Israeli airstrikes and attacks across the Gaza Strip over the last few hours, according to local and medical sources.
In Rafah, southern Gaza, two Palestinians were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a motorcycle near the Abu Halawa intersection east of the city.
Another three people were killed when Israeli warplanes struck a gathering of civilians east of the. In a separate incident, a young man was shot dead by Israeli forces in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah.
A civilian was also killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a vehicle in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, while another person lost his life when an Israeli missile hit a residential apartment in the western part of the city.
In Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of people in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, resulting in one young man killed and several others wounded. A child later succumbed to critical injuries sustained in an earlier attack near al-Shifa Tower in western Gaza City.
Regarding the situation in the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, Israeli tanks have pulled back slightly, positioning themselves around 500 meters from the facility, according to WAFA correspondent. However, sniper fire from elevated positions still poses a deadly risk for anyone attempting to move in the area.
Meanwhile, both casualties and wounded remain stranded in the area, unable to be reached by emergency teams due to the dangerous conditions. Reports also indicate further shelling on a home belonging to the al-Mabhouh family, with additional casualties feared.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 44,600 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 105,900 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.
