GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least five Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Wednesday evening, the Civil Defense Agency said.
The service said its crews recovered the bodies of five people after the strike that targeted a group of civilians near Gaza Municipality Park in the city center.
The Israeli army has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed almost 46,000 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
In November 2024, 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.
