Gaza Herald – Nine Palestinians were killed and at least 15 others injured late Wednesday after Israeli aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes targeting residential apartments across Gaza City, marking another deadly escalation amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement.
According to local sources, the strikes hit four occupied apartments in different neighborhoods of the city, including Sheikh Radwan, Tel al-Hawa, and the Beach Refugee Camp. Rescue crews and civil defense teams rushed to the targeted sites as residents searched through rubble for survivors and victims.
In Sheikh Radwan, two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded when an apartment belonging to Al-Ghoul family inside the Abu Ghouri building near Abu Al-Amin Station was struck. Witnesses reported extensive destruction to the apartment and surrounding homes.
In one of the deadliest attacks of the night, an Israeli strike targeted an apartment belonging to the Labad family on Intelligence Street in northwestern Gaza City, killing five family members: Hassan Rabah Hassan Labad, his wife Manar Ibrahim Hassan Labad, and their children Mohammed, Rahaf, and Tamim. Preliminary reports indicated that their nine-year-old daughter, Hala, survived the attack.
Additional strikes targeted a residential apartment in Tel al-Hawa, injuring several civilians, while another apartment belonging to the Mhanna family in the Beach Refugee Camp was bombed, spreading panic among nearby residents. Medical sources said several of the wounded remain in critical condition, raising fears that the death toll could increase.
The latest attacks come as Israeli occupation forces continue military operations and airstrikes across the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement. Residents and humanitarian organizations warn that repeated attacks on civilian homes are further deepening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis and exposing families to constant danger with few safe places left to seek shelter.
