At least 35 Palestinian have been killed and dozens more injured in Israel’s fresh airstrikes in the Gaza strip, as the regime ramps up its brutality in northern Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza on Tuesday killed at least 26 Palestinians, following artillery shelling near the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital.

The Israeli military carried out a drone attack on a group of Palestinians in the city of Beit Lahiya in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens, according to the Wafa news agency.

In Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, local reports indicate that Israeli airstrikes killed eight civilians, with additional injuries among those displaced in the Al-Alami area of the refugee camp, and continued shelling of Block 4 and Block 5 areas in Jabalia camp.

Also four Palestinians were killed and two others injured following an airstrike by Israeli forces on a house belonging to the Madi family, as well as a gathering of locals near Hamza Mosque in the Khirbet al-Adas region, located north of Rafah, according to medical sources.

In the past 24 hours, 117 Palestinians were killed and 478 wounded, according to the Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The northern Gaza Strip remains under a relentless siege, as Israeli forces continue to demolish homes and launch airstrikes besides blocking food and humanitarian aid for the eighteenth consecutive day.

On Monday, the Israeli military intensified its operations, surrounding hospitals and shelters for displaced individuals, effectively hindering vital assistance from reaching those in need, according to local residents and medical personnel.

“The occupation army is forcing residents of northern Gaza to either flee under bombardment or face killing, in what resembles a circle of certain death,” the Palestinian Foreign Ministry warned in a Sunday statement.

The ministry said the failure of the international community to stop this “war of extermination has emboldened Israel to continue its deadly campaign.”

Moreover, Hamas accused Israel of carrying out acts of "genocide and ethnic cleansing" to force people to leave northernآ Gaza.

The Israeli regime already faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its past actions in Gaza, and violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.

Since the onset of the war on October 7,2023, at least 42,718 people have been killed and 100,282 wounded in Gaza.
