5 Palestinians guarding aid trucks killed, 20 others injured in Israeli airstrike in western Rafah city, medical source tells Anadolu
The Israeli army killed at least 14 more Palestinians Monday morning, including five guards escorting aid trucks, and injured dozens in several airstrikes and shelling across the Gaza Strip.
A medical source told Anadolu that five Palestinians guarding aid trucks were killed in western Rafah city, southern Gaza Strip, while over 20 others were injured in Israeli airstrike.
According to Palestinian figures, the Israeli army has killed over 720 Palestinian policemen and security personnel guarding aid trucks in Gaza since the onset of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October last year.
The Israeli army also on Monday morning targeted a car in western Khan Younis city, leaving two Palestinians dead, according to a medical source.
In the central Gaza Strip, the Al-Awda Hospital said the bodies of four Palestinians and 12 others injured were brought to the hospital after an Israeli airstrike on the northern area of the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire inside a school sheltering displaced people in the western Nuseirat refugee camp.
An Israeli airstrike on a home in eastern Gaza City killed one Palestinian and injured several others, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
While in the northern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian was killed and another injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in the Jabalia Nazla area.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses say the Israeli army continues to target the Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings.
The Israeli army also continues to detonate buildings in the Beit Lahia and Jabalia areas.
Israel launched a large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza on Oct. 5 to allegedly prevent the Palestinian group Hamas from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.
Since then, no sufficient humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and fuel, has been allowed into the area, leaving the remaining population on the verge of imminent famine.
The onslaught was the latest episode in a brutal Israeli war on the Gaza Strip that has killed over 45,200 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.
Last month, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 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 Gaza.
