GAZA, December 16, 2024 (WAFA) - Five civilians, including two women, were killed and several others were wounded in Israeli airstrikes targeting a residential apartment in the al-Mukhabarat area, northwest of Gaza City, and a house in the Sabra neighborhood south of the city.

Earlier, an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of civilians in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. The strike resulted in the killing of four civilians and injury of at least 15 others.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7, 2024, has so far claimed the lives of at least 45,028 civilians, and caused the injury of 106,962 others.

This toll remains incomplete, as thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble or scattered along the roads, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews due to the relentless Israeli shelling and massive amount of debris.
