At least 14 civilians were killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Sunday evening targeting residential areas in Jabalia and Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

In Jabalia, located in northern Gaza, 11 civilians lost their lives after an Israeli strike hit the home of the Al-Sadiq family. Two more civilians were killed in a separate airstrike on Old Gaza Street in the same town.

Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, another civilian was reported killed in an airstrike targeting the Sheikh Nasser area of eastern Khan Yunis.

The attacks are part of an ongoing Israeli military campaign that began on October 7, 2023. According to health authorities in Gaza, the conflict has resulted in the deaths of approximately 56,500 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children. Another 133,419 individuals have been reported injured.

The official casualty count remains incomplete, as many victims are believed to be trapped under rubble, unreachable by rescue crews due to ongoing hostilities and restricted access.

The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip continues to deteriorate, drawing urgent appeals from international organizations for a ceasefire and the protection of civilians. (ILKHA)
