GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least three Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, medics said.

Witnesses said an Israeli quadcopter drone fired a missile into a gathering of civilians in northern Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

One person was killed and another injured in the attack, a medical source said.

Two more people were killed and others injured in another strike targeting a civil defense center in al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, the agency said.

The Israeli army has systematically targeted public facilities, residential buildings and infrastructure over the course of its deadly war on Gaza, exacerbating the already bad living conditions to over two million Palestinians in the enclave.

Israel has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed more than 45,300 people, most of them women and children, since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.

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

Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
