Gaza Herald – Ten Palestinians, including five children, were killed late on Wednesday after an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in central Gaza City, according to emergency and medical sources.
A source in ambulance and emergency services said that ten Palestinians were killed in the strike, which hit a residential building in central Gaza City amid ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its teams recovered ten bodies, including five children, and more than 20 injured civilians after an Israeli attack on an apartment in Omar Al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City. Medical sources confirmed that many of the wounded are in critical condition.
The airstrike reportedly targeted a residential apartment inside a densely populated building surrounded by displacement tents, with the structure hit by three missiles.
Medical sources identified the victims, including children and elderly civilians, among them a 9-year-old girl, a 12-year-old child, and an 81-year-old woman, highlighting the heavy civilian toll of the attack.
In a parallel development, Israeli occupation forces carried out artillery shelling on eastern Khan Younis and areas in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, continuing widespread strikes across the territory.
Earlier in the day, reports indicated that the total number of Palestinians killed since Wednesday morning had risen to at least 21 in separate incidents across Gaza.
The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that Israel has committed over 3,000 ceasefire violations since the truce took effect, resulting in hundreds of victims and injuries, along with repeated attacks on civilian areas and restrictions on aid and movement.
According to the same report, only a fraction of the agreed humanitarian aid trucks have been allowed into Gaza, alongside severe limitations on civilian movement, which is part of a broader pattern of collective pressure on the population.
