Gaza, MINA – At least 47 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured on Friday as Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling continued across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources, as cited by Wafa.

In northern Gaza, Israeli forces struck a group of people waiting for humanitarian aid, causing multiple deaths and injuries.

One of the deadliest incidents occurred at Amr Ibn Al-As School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, where 12 people, including women and children, were killed. The school was sheltering hundreds of displaced civilians.

Elsewhere in the neighborhood, five members of the Shahin family, including three children were killed when a tent sheltering displaced people on Al-Jalaa Street was struck.

In Khan Younis, a drone strike injured several people at a water desalination station where residents were collecting water. Shelling also targeted residential areas, including Hamad City and the Bdeir family home, causing further casualties.

Since October 2023, Israeli military operations have killed at least 62,192 Palestinians and injured over 157,114 others. Thousands remain trapped under rubble as Israeli attacks prevent rescue efforts.

The strikes continue despite UN Security Council calls for a ceasefire and International Court of Justice directives to prevent genocide and ease Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. []
