Israeli raids on central Gaza killed 34 Palestinians
According to Palestinian medical sources, two Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza killed at least 34 Palestinians and injured scores more.
The first strike hit Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid near Al-Shohada Junction in Nuseirat Refugee Camp, killing 23 people and wounding dozens, according to the Al-Awda Hospital.
In a separate attack, 11 more Palestinians were killed when an Israeli strike hit a residential building in Deir al-Balah, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 55,700 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant were both wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza in November.
Because of its war on the enclave, Israel is also facing a genocide prosecution at the International Court of Justice.
