Israeli Bombs Rock Central Gaza, Killing at Least 8
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Residents of Nuseirat in central Gaza described an “earthquake” as an Israeli attack on a building killed at least eight people.
The Israeli regime once again launched air strikes across Gaza where residents scrambled for cover as massive explosions rocked entire residential buildings in the central and northern part of the Strip.
The Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza was under heavy Israeli bombardment last night with three separate attacks hitting residential buildings while people were still inside, Al Jazeera reported.
Those who survived the attack described it as an earthquake that shattered the entire building. In one building, eight were killed in a single attack. Emergency workers are still looking for more. The number of people killed is expected to rise as more family members are still looking for their loved ones.
In two other attacks, six people were killed, all from the same family.
In the north, more apartments have been reduced to rubble due to the heavy artillery and air strikes. Three family members were killed in Jabalia town which has been relentlessly bombed since Israeli forces violated a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, hospitals are overwhelmed by the large influx of patients and injuries. Medical staff warn there are many more dying quietly inside emergency words of the remaining health facilities due to the shortage of medical supplies.
At least 39 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
At least 109 people were also wounded in that period, the ministry added.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 52,400 Palestinians and wounded 118,014 others, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. The Gaza Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
