At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombings targeting two residential houses in central and southern Gaza Strip, said Palestinian sources. Five Palestinians were killed and others injured by Israeli forces while targeting the Qandeel family’s home in central Khan Younis city, and another five people were killed when Israeli artillery shelled the Shehada family’s home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Medical sources said several were still trapped under the rubble, Xinhua News Agency reported. Early on Friday, medical sources reported that 18 Palestinians, including four children, were killed in airstrikes by Israeli warplanes targeting the central Gaza Strip, with one of the strikes hitting tents set up for displaced persons in what the Israeli military claims is a ‘humanitarian safe zone.’ An ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.
