Israeli Strikes Kill 11 More Palestinians in Civilian Tents, Homes in Gaza

At least 11 more Palestinians were killed on Tuesday as a result of Israeli strikes targeting a hospital, homes, and tents for displaced civilians across the war-devastated Gaza Strip.

According to the Palestinian state news agency Wafa, three civilians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike on a tent for displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian woman was killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a home in Khan Younis. Another strike on the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in the same city killed a healthcare worker and injured 10 medics.

One more Palestinian lost his life in another Israeli airstrike on a home in central Gaza City, a medical source said.

Another Palestinian was killed and several others were injured in Israeli airstrikes in the northeastern Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli warplanes also hit a residential building near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central town of Deir al-Balah, killing one Palestinian and wounding others.

Another Palestinian was killed, and other people were injured in a drone attack in the Shejaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

According to witnesses, Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinian homes in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, but no information was yet available about injuries.

Wafa said another Israeli strike hit a tent in Beit Lahia town in the northern Gaza Strip, killing two civilians from the same family.

Witnesses said that Israeli forces shelled a Palestinian house adjacent to a school, where hundreds of displaced people have sheltered, causing damage to the school.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army continued to blow up homes and buildings in the northern area of Rafah city in southern Gaza, in parallel with heavy artillery shelling on Rafah and other areas across the enclave.

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

At least 51,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
