The Palestinian news agency, WAFA reported that among the victims were women and children, with seven killed in a bombing of a residential building on Gaza City’s al-Jalaa Street.
Israeli bombings across various parts of the Gaza Strip early on Thursday resulted in the deaths of at least 35 Palestinians.
The Palestinian news agency, WAFA reported that among the victims were women and children, with seven killed in a bombing of a residential building on Gaza City’s al-Jalaa Street.
Additionally, 15 others died when a house sheltering displaced individuals was bombed west of Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
In Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, 13 Palestinians were killed in a strike aimed at aid providers, and others were injured, according to WAFA.
Medics later confirmed that at least 30 people were also wounded in the Rafah attack, with several in critical condition.
Another separate airstrike in Khan Younis targeted men tasked with securing aid shipments, wounding several, medics said.
The Israeli military has yet to comment on the strikes. Armed gangs have repeatedly hijacked aid trucks entering Gaza, prompting Hamas to form a task force to confront them.
Hamas sources and medics reported that the Hamas-led forces have killed over two dozen gang members in recent months.
Hamas also claimed that Israeli military strikes have killed at least 700 police officers securing aid trucks in Gaza since the war began on October 7, 2023.
Despite multiple ceasefire attempts by Arab mediators, Egypt, and Qatar, supported by the United States, no resolution has been reached. On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to call for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, along with the release of all hostages.
While the resolution is non-binding, it carries significant political weight, with the United States, Israel, and seven other countries voting against it, and 13 countries abstaining.
