Thirteen Palestinians killed as a result of an Israeli strike in Gaza
The situation in the Gaza Strip has worsened once again. Zamin.uz reports this.
On Sunday, at least thirteen Palestinians lost their lives as a result of attacks carried out by the Israeli armed forces. It was reported that among the victims were two young children, a pregnant woman, and nine police officers.
These bloody incidents show that violence continues to recur almost daily, despite peace agreements aimed at reducing hostilities in the region. According to information provided by Al-Aqsa Hospital, one of the attacks hit a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp located in central Gaza.
As a result, four people were killed. Among them were a couple in their thirties and their ten-year-old son.
At the same time, the woman died while pregnant with twins. Their twenty-five-year-old neighbor also lost his life in this attack.
According to local residents, the area was attacked without any warning while families were peacefully asleep. Furthermore, in a separate attack, a police vehicle was bombed in the Az-Zawayda area along the Philadelphi Corridor.
Consequently, nine officers were killed, including high-ranking Colonel Iyad Ab Yusef. According to the Gaza Ministry of Interior, these officers were performing duties related to maintaining order and ensuring security in markets during the month of Ramadan.
At the same time, hospital officials confirmed that another fourteen people sustained injuries of varying degrees. Israeli military forces have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
However, it is known that the Israeli side announced that the Rafah crossing point connecting Gaza with Egypt would be partially opened for passengers on March 18, but cargo transport will not be permitted. Currently, more than twenty thousand sick and injured Palestinians waiting to leave for treatment, including thousands of children and patients suffering from cancer, remain in line.
This situation is causing a further increase in the shortage of medicines and medical equipment in the region.
