Seven Palestinians, including four children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes early Sunday morning on the al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip, local reports confirmed.

In the al-Maghazi camp, Israeli forces bombed a house, killing two children and injuring several others. Additionally, one man was killed, and three others were wounded when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced families.

In a separate attack on the al-Bureij refugee camp, four Palestinians, including two young sisters, Aya, 12, and Tala Abu Nahl, 11, were killed when Israeli warplanes struck the home of the Mansour family. The girls’ mother and two other siblings were seriously injured. The family had been displaced from the al-Shati refugee camp months earlier and sought refuge in the al-Bureij camp. The attack destroyed their three-story home, burying the family under the rubble.

Rescue teams also recovered the bodies of two more victims in the Al-Saftawi area, located in northwest Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, several civilians were wounded, some critically, when Israeli forces targeted a gathering near the Al-Aqad School in Khirbat Al-Adas, north of Rafah.

Late Saturday night, Israeli airstrikes also renewed their assault on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza. The strikes targeted the hospital's main oxygen station, injuring several medical staff members.

The ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza, which began in October 2023, has led to at least 44,176 documented Palestinian fatalities and over 104,473 injuries. Thousands are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes.

Despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice to prevent genocide and address the dire humanitarian situation, the Israeli offensive continues without pause. (ILKHA)
