At least 10 Palestinians, including children, were killed on Tuesday in yet another deadly wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting civilian areas across the besieged Gaza Strip.

The attacks come amid Israel’s ongoing campaign of destruction and displacement, which has continued unabated for nearly eight months.

Local sources confirmed that two children were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed the home of the Al-Najjar family in Khan Younis. The house, like many others, was sheltering displaced families who had already been forced to flee previous Israeli attacks.

In another brutal strike, three civilians were killed when Israeli forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced people near the Asda’a recreational area northwest of Khan Younis. On Al-Qudra Street, one more person was killed and three others wounded in a separate attack.

Israeli shelling in northern Gaza also claimed more lives. Two civilians were killed and others injured near the Bishara supermarket in Jabalia as occupation forces continued their relentless bombardment of residential areas.

Medical staff at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis reported receiving the bodies of 32 martyrs since the early hours of Tuesday. That number includes 24 Palestinians who were slaughtered earlier in the day while waiting for humanitarian aid west of Rafah—another blatant attack on desperate civilians seeking food and relief.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has claimed the lives of at least 54,470 Palestinians, the vast majority of them women and children, and left over 124,693 wounded, according to Gaza’s health authorities. The Gaza Strip, already under a suffocating blockade, has been reduced to rubble, with no safe zones, no functioning hospitals, and a civilian population left at the mercy of airstrikes and famine.

Despite global outrage and urgent calls for a ceasefire, Israel continues to wage its war against the people of Gaza—targeting homes, shelters, hospitals, and aid distribution sites—while the international community fails to act decisively.

Palestinians on the ground, while enduring unspeakable suffering, remain defiant, calling for justice, protection, and an end to the occupation and blockade that has turned Gaza into a humanitarian graveyard. (ILKHA)
