47 people were killed in a nighttime Israeli airstrike in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, most of them women and children. This was reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA, according to which the attacks were concentrated on the cities of Dajr Balah and Zavajda and the Nusajrat refugee camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip. According to WAFA, rescuers are searching for survivors in the ruins.
The information about the strike with dozens of victims comes shortly after Tuesday’s Israeli attack on a five-story residential building in the city of Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, which, according to local authorities controlled by the terrorist movement Hamas, claimed more than 90 victims.
The current war in the Gaza Strip began after Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups attacked southern Israel on October 7 last year. About 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the attack, and another 250 were taken hostage by the militants to the Gaza Strip.
More than 43,200 Palestinians have died and more than 101,600 have been injured during the war in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry there. The data does not distinguish between militants and civilians.
