At least 19 Palestinians, including children, have been killed and a dozen others injured as a fresh round of Israeli airstrikes targeted several areas across the besieged Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian medical sources.

The sources reported that an attack on a vehicle on Jalaa Street in Gaza City left at least four people dead on Sunday. Several people also sustained injuries.

An Israeli air raid on the Jabalia refugee camp, north of Gaza, killed at least five people, including children, as well.

It was the latest deadly attack carried out by the Israeli army this morning in Gaza.

Additionally, a medical source at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City was quoted as saying that eight bodies, including those of two children and two women, along with several injured individuals, were brought to the facility following an Israeli airstrike on the Musa bin Nusair School in the al-Daraj neighborhood in central Gaza City.

According to eyewitnesses, aerial assaults on the school sheltering displaced families caused fires and extensive damage to the building.

The northern Gaza Strip continued to witness intense bombardment and shelling throughout the night into Sunday, particularly in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun , with strikes going on around Kamal Adwan Hospital.

In central Gaza, artillery shelling struck the western side of the New Camp in Nuseirat.

In the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian man and his wife were killed when an Israeli helicopter attacked their apartment in central Khan Younis.

Moreover, three Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the eastern parts of Rafah.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli regime in response to the occupying entity’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed 45,227 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 107,573 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.

Israel’s military has systematically blocked the entry of lifesaving food, medicine, medical supplies, fuel, and tents into the besieged Palestinian territory since October 2023.

More than one year into the Tel Aviv regime’s campaign of death and destruction, the territory’s critical infrastructure such as water networks, sanitation facilities, and bread mills has all been razed to the ground.
