Gaza: At least 43 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Civil Defence said on Sunday.
Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told Xinhua that eight people, including three children and a woman, were killed when Israeli aircraft struck a tent housing displaced persons near Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
In another attack, an Israeli airstrike killed five Palestinians and wounded several others, some seriously, in Deir-al-Balah in central Gaza, Basal added.
He also reported that six people were killed and 20 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a cafe near the entrance to the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.
Basal said that at least four children were killed in an Israeli drone attack on a gathering of children in the town of al-Zawayda in the central Gaza Strip.
Eight people, including three children, were killed when Israeli aircraft targeted a gathering of Palestinians in the Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.
At least 12 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air and artillery attacks on several homes in the Shuja’iyya, al-Zeitoun, and al-Tuffah neighborhoods, east of Gaza City, according to Basal.
The Israeli army has not commented on these incidents yet.
