At least 16 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes on central Gaza on Thursday evening, local and medical sources reported.
Fifteen of the victims lost their lives, and others sustained injuries when Israeli jets targeted the Al-Karama and Shaban al-Rais schools, which were being used as shelters for displaced families in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.
In a separate incident, one Palestinian was killed and several others were injured when an Israeli airstrike hit a group of people near the Al-Ahli Club in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
The ongoing Israeli military offensive in Gaza, which began in October 2023, has led to at least 45,129 Palestinian deaths and over 107,338 injuries, according to local sources. A significant portion of the casualties includes women and children.
Emergency and civil defense teams face severe challenges in reaching victims trapped under rubble due to continued Israeli bombardments, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice to prevent genocide and address the worsening humanitarian situation, Israeli airstrikes have persisted unabated.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with escalating casualties and widespread devastation drawing growing international condemnation and demands for urgent intervention. (ILKHA)
