Israeli Attacks in Gaza Result in At Least 17 Palestinian Deaths, Including Journalists

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: At least 17 Palestinians have been killed and several others injured, including journalists, following Israeli attacks on various areas in Gaza, according to local medical sources.

Medical teams reported to Anadolu news agency that 13 Palestinians lost their lives in an Israeli bombing in the Shakoush area, northwest of Rafah in southern Gaza. Witnesses indicated that the bombing targeted groups of civilians, journalists, and tents housing displaced persons.

In a separate incident, medical sources confirmed that four Palestinians were killed and 10 others injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted the home of the Al Ghazi family in the Sabra neighbourhood, south of Gaza City.

Eyewitnesses also reported that Israeli military tanks and bulldozers destroyed approximately 1,235 acres (around five million square metres) of agricultural greenhouses in the area northwest of Rafah. This area was the last remaining land in the enclave cultivated with vegetables.

The attacks have intensified the already dire situation in Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and adding to the toll on the civilian population.
