At least six Palestinians were killed on Monday in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources and eyewitnesses, reported Xinhua.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli aircraft struck a home in the Mufti area north of the camp, completely destroying it. Medical sources indicated that the airstrike resulted in six deaths and several injuries, with the wounded transported to hospitals.
The Israeli army has yet to comment on the incident.
Also on Monday, Palestinian journalist Wafaa Ali Al-Adini was killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, as stated by the government media office in Gaza. This incident raised the total number of journalists killed by Israel since last October to 174.
Israel's large-scale offensive against Hamas in Gaza began in response to a Hamas incursion across the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and about 250 hostages taken.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza has now reached 41,615, according to a statement from Gaza-based health authorities on Monday.
