Israeli airstrike on Gaza kills three Palestinians, injures others


GAZA: An Israeli airstrike on a house, located to the southeast of the city of Gaza, Wednesday evening killed three Palestinian civilians and injured others, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

PRCS said that its crews retrieved the bodies of three civilians who were killed and several others injured in an Israeli occupation airstrike that targeted the house of the Yassin family, close to the Zaitoun Center, southeast of the city.

It added that the fatalities and casualties were taken to the Arab Ahli Hospital in the city.

Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 39,965 Palestinians and injuring over 92,294 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are
unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
