68 more Palestinians killed in Gaza Strip
Gaza City, Palestine - Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip killed 68 more Palestinians, pushing up the death toll since last October to 33,797, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on Monday.
“The Israeli occupation (forces) committed seven massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 68 martyrs and 94 injured during the past 24 hours,” a ministry statement said. “Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Flouting the International Court of Justice’s provisional ruling, Israel continues its onslaught on the Gaza Strip, killing 33,797 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 76,465 others since Oct. 7, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Meanwhile, Malak Haniyeh, the granddaughter of Hamas’s political bureau chairman Ismail Haniyeh, succumbed on Monday to injuries sustained in an Israeli strike that killed other family members on the first day of the Muslim festival of Eid-alFitr, medical sources told Anadolu.
Three sons of Haniyeh, along with several of his grandchildren, were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike in a refugee camp in western Gaza City.
The Israeli airstrike targeted a car carrying members of the Haniyeh family in the Al-shati refugee camp as they were giving good wishes to the camp’s residents for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-fitr, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.
Medical sources told
Anadolu that the airstrike resulted in the deaths of three of Haniyeh’s sons - Hazem, Amir, and Mohammed - as well as several of their own children, in addition to injuring others.
Fresh raids in West Bank
At least 25 Palestinians were detained in fresh Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank on
Monday, according to prisoners’ affairs groups.
Most arrests took place in Tulkarm city, while others occurred in the cities of Jerusalem, Ramallah, Jenin, Tubas, and Nablus, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a joint statement.
At least 8,240 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7, the statement added. Tensions have been running high across the occupied territory since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip.
