Israeli Attack in N Gaza Kills 32 Palestinians, Including Families Seeking Shelter

IQNA – An early morning airstrike by the Israeli forces has killed at least 32 Palestinians in northern Jabalia, Gaza, with entire families among the casualties.

The strike, which targeted a house on Old Gaza Street around 6 a.m. local time, struck while residents, including many women and children, were inside, according to Al Jazeera.

Eyewitnesses describe the atmosphere as quiet before the attack, apart from the sound of drones and fighter jets overhead. Without warning, the house was bombed, killing those who had sought refuge there after being displaced from other areas of northern Gaza.

The casualties include families that had previously evacuated Jabalia and the nearby Jabalia refugee camp, relocating in hopes of finding safety.

Jabalia, one of three northern Gaza towns, has been under Israeli siege for over a month as residents continue to face restrictions and intense bombardment.

The Israeli genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip has claimed the lives of at least 43,552 Palestinians and wounded 102,765 others. According to the United Nations, 70% of casualties are women and children.
