Israeli airstrikes killed 34 Palestinians, including children and women, and injured dozens more in a series of attacks across Gaza since Friday morning, according to medical sources.

The Israeli army killed five Palestinians, including a child, in an airstrike that targeted a vehicle carrying displaced civilians at al-Tuwam junction in the northwest of the Gaza Strip.

Three more people were killed by Israeli gunfire while they were waiting for aid south of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Another Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces near the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip.

Four more Palestinians were killed and others wounded when an Israeli drone strike hit a civilian vehicle on al-Rashid Street west of Deir al-Balah city.

In Gaza City, three Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an airstrike on an apartment in the Abu Dhabi Building opposite Al-Khidmah Hospital.

Three people were killed and seven others injured when Israeli warplanes struck an apartment near the Prosthetics Center on Yarmouk Market Street in the Al-Daraj neighborhood.

Four others were killed when a tent housing displaced families on the Islamic University campus in Al-Rimal was targeted, and three more died in a separate strike on an apartment in Tel al-Hawa, southwest Gaza City.

An Israeli drone struck a tent near Al-Noor Mosque on Al-Thawra Street in Al-Rimal, killing two people, and three more were killed in a strike on an apartment in the Sakeek building in the Al-Sabra neighborhood.

Two more people were killed when a tent sheltering displaced families was bombed near Al-Azhar University intersection, while another civilian was killed when warplanes struck an apartment near the YMCA in western Gaza City.

The Israeli military continued demolitions using explosive robots in Jabalia and northeast Sheikh Radwan, alongside artillery fire on Zeitoun and Al-Sabra neighborhoods and gunfire from quadcopter helicopters toward residential areas.

In central and southern Gaza, Israeli aircraft struck a house belonging to the Al-Danaf family in Deir al-Balah camp after issuing an evacuation warning, with no casualties reported. Artillery strikes also hit areas in southern and central Khan Younis without immediate reports of casualties.

Israel has already killed more than 64,300 Palestinians in Gaza in 700 days of bombardment since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
