Nine Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza apartments

Nine Palestinians were killed and 15 injured in Israeli airstrikes that targeted four residential apartments in Gaza City on Thursday morning. The attacks are part of Israel's ongoing aggression amid a "ceasefire."

The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that five Palestinians died and others were wounded when an apartment belonging to the Labad family in northwest Gaza City was hit. A nine-year-old girl from the family survived with moderate injuries.

The WAFA news agency added that two Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed an apartment belonging to the Ghoul family in the Abu Ghuri building in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. An apartment in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood and another belonging to the Muhanna family in the Shati refugee camp were also targeted.

These strikes follow a previous incident where an Israeli drone targeted central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and injuring four others. The Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the total number of casualties from Israeli military actions in Gaza has risen to 72,945 killed and 173,011 injured since October 2023. In the 24 hours prior to this report, hospitals received three bodies and treated 35 injured individuals.
