GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL (AA) – At least 11 Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday amid relentless attacks on the enclave, medics said.

An Israeli drone struck a vehicle in the central city of Deir al-Balah, killing seven people, including six brothers, a medical source said.

A woman also lost her life in another drone strike in Jabalia in northern Gaza, he added.

Several people were injured in Israeli shelling of a tent sheltering displaced civilians on the grounds of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.

In southern Gaza, two Palestinians were killed when fighter jets struck a home and a tent for displaced people in Khan Younis city, another medical source said.

An injured child also died of her wounds after an Israeli strike on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza.

Israeli shelling was also reported in several areas across the enclave, including a power plant in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. No information was yet available about injuries.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November 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.
