14 killed as Israeli airstrike targets funeral tent in northern Gaza

At least 14 Palestinians were killed and nearly 30 others injured Wednesday when an Israeli airstrike hit a funeral tent in northern Gaza, medical sources said.

Medical staff at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza told Anadolu that the facility received 14 bodies and nearly 30 wounded after the strike targeted the Al Salateen neighborhood in Beit Lahia.

Meanwhile, witnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone hit the mourners' tent, resulting in multiple casualties.

The wounded were transported to hospitals in northern Gaza, the witnesses added.

At least 436 people were killed and over 670 others injured in renewed Israeli airstrikes in Gaza since Tuesday, shattering the ceasefire agreement that took hold in January.

Nearly 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 112,000 others injured in a brutal Israeli military campaign in Gaza since October 2023.

In November 2024, 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.
