ISTANBUL (AA) - At least eight Palestinians were killed, many others injured by the fresh Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip since Sunday dawn, local media said.

According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, five people were killed by an Israeli strike that targeted a two-story building in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip.

Israeli drones targeted a Palestinian home in western Khan Younis, killing two civilians and injuring others, WAFA said.

Another Palestinian was killed, several others were wounded by an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, southern enclave.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 53,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
