Israel has renewed its bloody airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, killing 14 Palestinians and injuring dozens more in the blockaded territory.

The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported on Monday that four Palestinians were killed and several others were wounded in Israeli air raids that targeted a house belonging to the Barakat family in the vicinity of Sheikh Radwan pond, north of Gaza City.

A child and a woman also lost their lives in an Israeli drone attack on a residential building next to Gaza City’s Great Omari Mosque, the report said, adding that several people were injured and went missing under the rubble.

Similar Israeli aerial assaults killed a person in the Jabalia refugee camp as well as twins elsewhere in the northern part of the besieged territory, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Israeli strikes on Gaza’s southern Rafah Governorate killed four people, two of them farmers.

The report further noted that Dr. Thabat Salim, who worked as a volunteer at the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, was a victim of the Israeli air raid on a house at the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.

Israel launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the occupying regime has killed at least 45,805 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 109,064 others, in Gaza.

During its brutal onslaught, Israel has targeted Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, and schools, in blatant violation of international law.
