Gaza, MINA – At least 20 Palestinians, including children, were killed and several others injured on Tuesday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting homes and shelters for displaced people in the Gaza Strip, medical sources reported.
Seven people died in a strike on a family home in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, while additional casualties occurred in the Al-Saftawi area, Shati refugee camp, and central Gaza.
In Deir al-Balah, a mother and her toddler were killed when Israeli forces struck a warehouse used as a shelter. Six more Palestinians, including a couple and their three children, lost their lives in a strike on a tent in northwestern Khan Younis.
The attacks are part of a broader Israeli military operation launched on August 11, which has included home demolitions in northern and southern Gaza.
