At least 15 Palestinians were martyred on Saturday after the Israeli occupation army launched an airstrike on the Gaza city, north of the Palestinian enclave.
Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), quoted local sources, as saying that the Israeli aircraft bombarded a prayer hall in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza city, resulting in over 15 martyrs and injuring dozens.
This series of Israeli offensive comes while rescue and civil defense personnel are striving to account for missing Palestinians due to the massacre committed by the Israeli army, in Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, south of the enclave, which resulted in 71 martyrs and roughly 300 injured, with reports indicating that 100 Palestinians were martyred, some of their bodies were recovered, while others remained under the rubble.
The Gaza’s health authorities confirmed that the death toll is expected to rise as search operations are ongoing, highlighting that there are critical injuries, as most of the martyrs were elderly and children and further cas
ualties are being whisked off to hospitals.
The area that was targeted by the Israeli raids is a densely populated area, extending to Al-Aqsa market. The Israeli army, so far, designated it as a safe zone prior to launching intense bombardment on the refugee camp and the civil defense personnel who arrived there, resulting in a number of casualties among them.
