Israel kills dozens more Palestinians in Gaza Strip in overnight airstrikes
Over 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s overnight airstrikes on the tightly-besieged Gaza Strip, which has been under ceaseless bombardment by the occupying regime for the past five days.
In a statement on Thursday, the Palestinian health ministry said that at least 51 people were killed and 281 others sustained injuries during the past several hours by Israeli overnight airstrikes in the densely-populated territory.
According to the ministry, the residential areas of Sabra, al-Zaytoun, al-Nafaq, and Tal al-Hawa, among others, were targeted in the Gaza Strip as hospitals are in a state of full capacity and the wounded and sick are sleeping on the ground, with medicines and fuel on the verge of running out in the coastal sliver.

In a report, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa said that strikes on a residential building in the northern city of Jabaliya alone killed at least 15 people and wounded dozens more.
It added that 18 bodies, including those of nine children and two women, were also pulled from the rubble of two shattered houses in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Israel launched deadly strikes on the Gaza Strip on October 7, after the resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity.
Hamas says its operation came in response to Israel’s violations at al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and growing settler violence.

As of Thursday, more than 1,200 people have been killed and thousands more wounded in five days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, a besieged territory on the Mediterranean which is home to some 2.3 million people despite its relatively small land area.
The United Nations human rights chief on Tuesday warned that Israel’s imposition of a total blockade on the Gaza Strip amounts to a war crime and violates international law.
