Israeli strikes on Gaza kill 12 more Palestinians amid ongoing genocide

12 more Palestinians, including six children, were killed in Israeli strikes on early Wednesday, targeting homes and groups of civilians across the war-devastated Gaza Strip, as Israel's genocide continues unabated.

In the Northern Gaza governorate, eight Palestinians, including six children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home for the Al-Najjar family, according to a medical source.

Two more Palestinians, a father and his son, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on an apartment in the Bureij refugee camp, the central Gaza Strip, a medical source also told Anadolu.

Rescue operations continue in the area in search of other missing people, according to witnesses.

In the southern Gaza Strip, a medical source told Anadolu that two Palestinians were killed, including a woman, in an Israeli strike against a group of civilians in Khan Younis city.

Wednesday's assault came as Israel continued to close Gaza's crossings to humanitarian aid since early March, causing a severe shortage of food supplies in the war-ravaged territory.

The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing nearly 800 people and injuring over 1,600 others despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,100 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 113,700 injured in a brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November 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.
