Israeli Army Kills Palestinian Woman and Child in Series of Violent Attacks on Gaza

Kokcha News Agency: The Israeli army has escalated its attacks on Gaza since early Thursday morning, killing a Palestinian woman and injuring several others in a helicopter strike targeting a tent housing displaced members of the Abu Harbid family in the Yarmouk area of central Gaza.

Witnesses and medical sources told Anadolu Agency that Israeli attacks also targeted homes and tents of displaced families, as well as civilian gatherings in Gaza City and the central Gaza Strip. In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes launched a series of intense airstrikes on the “Tunnel Street,” which extends from central Gaza towards its northeastern areas. These strikes were accompanied by heavy artillery shelling in the eastern Sheikh Radwan area, as well as the deployment of illumination bombs over most parts of the city.

In the central Gaza Strip, a Palestinian child was killed when the Israeli army opened fire randomly on civilian homes in the Al-Bureij refugee camp. In Deir al-Balah, several Palestinians were injured after an Israeli drone targeted a house near the Khadija Al-Basa school.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing what many describe as genocide in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 64,656 Palestinians, including 163,503 injured, most of whom are children and women. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and famine has claimed the lives of 404 Palestinians, including 141 children.
