At least 20 Palestinians have been killed and dozens of others injured following the Israeli regime’s airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip, as the occupying entity continues its months-long war on the besieged territory.

The casualties took place at dawn on Sunday after a violent Israeli raid targeted a residential complex in the north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that emergency medical teams and civil defense crews recovered the bodies of at least 20 martyrs from beneath the rubble of the targeted homes in Nuseirat.

“A significant number of wounded individuals, including children, were rescued from the debris,” the news agency added. “Search and rescue operations are ongoing to locate any missing persons trapped under the collapsed buildings.”

The Israeli bombing came hours after the regime conducted a series of intense airstrikes and targeted with heavy artillery shelling Bureij and Jabalia refugee camps in Gaza.

Israeli warplanes also struck the towns and cities of Beit Lahia, Rafah and Gaza City late last night, resulting in multiple casualties among civilians, including a journalist, identified as Abdullah al-Najjar.

Israel unleashed its US-backed war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after Palestinian resistance groups carried out Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has so far killed at least 35,386 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 79,366 others.
