Gaza, MINA – At least 26 more Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured in a new wave of Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to local medics and witnesses, Anadolu Agency reported.
Among the victims, five Palestinians were killed and several injured when an Israeli drone targeted a tent sheltering displaced civilians in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli artillery reportedly set multiple properties ablaze in the Qizan Abu Rashwan neighborhood of the same city.
Six more bodies were recovered in the Abasan al-Kabira area, east of Khan Younis, following another Israeli strike. A Palestinian woman also died due to Israeli fire in the same area, medics said.

Despite mounting international pressure for a ceasefire, Israel has continued its military offensive on Gaza since October 2023. According to Palestinian sources, the ongoing assault has resulted in the deaths of nearly 56,000 people, most of them women and children.
In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. In addition, Israel is currently facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice. []
