NNA - Several people were killed and others injured in overnight Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, which targeted the central city of Deir al-Balah and the village of al-Nasr in the southern part of the enclave.

According to local sources, emergency teams recovered the bodies of two victims and several injured individuals after an Israeli airstrike hit a residential apartment in the center of Deir al-Balah. The victims were transferred to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city.

In a separate Israeli attack, a missile strike targeted a home in the village of al-Nasr, northeast of Rafah, in southern Gaza. Two members of the same family, a father and his son, were killed, while several others were injured. Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics rushed the injured to the European Gaza Hospital for urgent medical care.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 43,736 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 103,370 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.--WAFA
