GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL (AA) – Six more Palestinians were killed, dozens injured in fresh Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, medics said.

A medical source said that three Palestinians lost their lives and several others were wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced civilians in al-Mawasi in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Witnesses said Israeli artillery shelling also caused to set Palestinian properties ablaze in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area of the same city.

More than 10 people seeking to reach food were also injured by Israeli gunfire near an aid distribution point in northern Rafah in southern Gaza, medics said.

A medical source said two more people were killed and others injured in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Another Palestinian was killed by army fire targeting a home in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 56,000 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.
