Israeli Airstrikes Kill 11 Palestinians in Gaza as Death Toll Surpasses 60,000

Gaza city: Eleven Palestinians were martyred and others injured Friday as Israeli occupation forces carried out airstrikes and shelling targeting tents, homes, and various locations across the Gaza Strip.

According to Qatar News Agency, medical sources reported that at least five people were killed and several others wounded following Israeli airstrikes on gatherings of civilians in the neighborhoods of Al Zaytoun, Al Shujaiya, and Al Tuffah in eastern Gaza City.

Two Palestinians were also martyred in an Israeli bombardment of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Another individual succumbed to injuries sustained in an Israeli strike yesterday on Deir Al Balah in central Gaza.

In the southern part of the Strip, sources confirmed that the death toll rose to seven following an Israeli strike at dawn on a tent in the Al Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. Initial reports had indicated the martyrdom of four civilians from one family, including a mother and her two children.

The total number of martyrs from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, which has continued for 22 months, has now reached 60,239, with 146,894 injured. Israel resumed its assault on Gaza after violating the ceasefire agreement on March 18, following a two-month pause, targeting multiple areas across the Strip.
