44 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza: Civil Defense

21 Sep 2024 - 13:48

At least 44 Palestinians were killed Friday and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes and raids across the war-torn Gaza Strip.


Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said two Palestinians were killed in a pair of strikes on a home and a car in northern Gaza.
Gaza City witnessed the highest fatalities, as 18 Palestinians, including three children and two women, were killed in six airstrikes on homes and gatherings of people across the city.
Basal said 10 were killed in the central Gaza area in two strikes on a home and a building that shelters displaced people.
Fourteen Palestinians were killed in Rafah, the southernmost of the enclave, in two strikes on a home that left 13 dead, including children and women, and on a motorcycle that left one Palestinian killed.
Israel has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
Nearly 41,300 victims, mostly women and children, have since been killed and more than 95,500 injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
