Nuseirat nightmare: 17 Palestinians killed in double Israeli strike on Gaza refugee camp
Israeli warplanes have conducted aerial assaults on homes at a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 17 Palestinians.
The first overnight strike killed 10 people, including women and children, and left many others injured at the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Five of the victims were from the same family, Al Jazeera report said, adding that the number of casualties may increase as some people are still trapped under the rubble.
An hour later, the second Israeli air raid targeted another house at the camp, according to the report, which added that the victims include children, their parents, and their grandparents.
The deadly bombardment came ten days after the Israeli military committed a massacre at the Nuseirat camp, killing more than 270 Palestinians and injuring almost 700 others.
The regime’s army claimed it had rescued four captives during the bloody attack.
UN human rights experts strongly condemned the massacre as “one of the most heinous acts” in Israel’s destructive war on Gaza.
“Israel’s attack on the Nuseirat camp is obnoxious in its excessive violence and devastating impact,” they said.
“According to survivors, the streets of Nuseirat were filled with bodies of dead and injured people, including children and women, lying in pools of blood. Walls were covered in body parts scattered by multiple explosions and bombed houses.”
Israel unleashed its genocidal Gaza onslaught on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against Palestinians.
So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 37,347 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 85,372 others in the besieged territory.
