Israeli army kills 36 Palestinians in Gaza, including aid seekers

One of the sources told Anadolu that 12 people lost their lives and several others were injured in a strike in the Shejaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

Eight more people were killed by Israeli gunfire while attempting to obtain humanitarian aid in the Nitzarim area in central Gaza, the official news agency Wafa said, citing medical sources.

Rescue teams recovered the bodies of three Palestinians and rescued five others from the rubble of two houses in Jabalia Al-Nazla in northern Gaza, following an Israeli airstrike. Some individuals remain missing under the rubble.

Ten Palestinians were also killed and others injured in another Israeli attack on two houses in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Rescue teams recovered the body of a young Palestinian from the rubble in the town of Abasan in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza, a medical source said.

Two more Palestinians were killed, and others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a gathering of people near the Omari Mosque in Jabalia Al-Balad, northern Gaza.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing over 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

Last November, 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.
