Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza
Israel’s Continued Attacks on Gaza Leave Dozens Dead and Injured
Recent air strikes by Israel in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of multiple Palestinians, including women and children, as well as significant injuries to many others. One such attack targeted the home of the Terturi family on Abu Husayra Street in the west of Gaza, where 4 Palestinians lost their lives and 3 more were seriously wounded.
In addition to this tragic incident, houses and empty lands in various areas of Gaza, including the Rimal and Shati Refugee Camps, were bombed. The Ansar Security Compound affiliated with the Gaza government was also hit in the attacks.
Another deadly attack took place in the Sabra District in the south of Gaza, where two Palestinians were killed and numerous individuals sustained injuries as a result of gunfire targeting the Hicazi family home. Rescue efforts by the Gaza Civil Defense Unit are underway in the rubble of the Hejazi family’s house.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza escalated on October 7, 2023, when Hamas’s armed wing, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack in response to what they described as continuous violations against Palestinians and sacred values, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Since then, the violence has only escalated, with devastating consequences for both sides.
Israel has reported significant casualties among its population, with 1,200 Israelis losing their lives and over 5,000 sustaining injuries. Meanwhile, in Gaza, the death toll has risen to 34,454, including thousands of children and women, with tens of thousands more injured.
Despite efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and facilitate humanitarian pauses in the conflict, the violence continues to take a heavy toll on civilian populations. Hospitals, schools, and other vital infrastructure have been targeted and destroyed, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
The international community has called for an end to the violence and a return to dialogue to resolve the deep-rooted issues fueling the conflict. As the death toll rises and the suffering of innocent civilians mounts, urgent action is needed to prevent further loss of life and bring about a lasting peace in the region.
