At least 22 people, including women and children, have been killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, amid a genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian territory.

On Monday, Israeli warplanes targeted a house belonging to the al-Qassas family at the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

WAFA news agency reported that the attack killed at least 10 Palestinians and injured 15 others.

Also on Monday, Israeli jets conducted deadly air raids on Gaza City’s Zeitoun and Sheikh Radwan neighborhoods.

They further bombed the Abu Shaar family home in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, killing two Palestinians.

The Palestinian Civil Defense said that it had recovered the bodies of the two victims and rescued many wounded people following the Rafah strike.

Israel waged its brutal Gaza offensive on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the occupying regime has killed at least 41,206 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza and injured 95,337 others.

Israel is currently on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the Gaza war.
