ANKARA: At least 10 Palestinians were killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli overnight raids across the Gaza Strip as its deadly onslaught enters day 319. According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, six Palestinians were killed and many others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home of the Abu Zeid family in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Another airstrike on a car in northern Rafah city left four Palestinians killed. The Israeli artillery also struck areas in the central and western areas of Rafah city. In Khan Younis, five Palestinians were injured as the Israeli tanks shelled the outskirts of al-Mawasi area crowded with displaced Palestinians. The Israeli artillery also struck the northwestern areas of the Nuseirat refugee camp and eastern Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip. Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas. The Israeli onslaught has since killed over 40,130 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 92,740, according to local health authorities. More than 10 months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine. Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
