Gaza City, (Al Jazeera, Wafa, AA): 82 Palestinians have been killed and 234 injured by Israeli Defence Forces’ indiscriminate bombings across Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, according to Ministry of Health. These killings have increased the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces bombings to 35,173, and 79,061 injured in Gaza Strip reports the Health Ministry in the enclave.
Dozens of Palestinian civilians today were killed and others were injured in an Israeli artillery bombing targeting several areas in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli jets bombed a house in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Tuesday, killing 14 Palestinians including children. In the north, Israeli tanks, bulldozers and armoured vehicles surround evacuation zones and shelters in Jabalia.
According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israeli warplanes struck a three-floor building for the Karaja family in southern the camp.
It cited medical sources that said the airstrike left at least 14 Palestinians, including children killed, in addition to dozens of others injured.
The Israeli warplanes also struck several areas across the Gaza Strip, including an airstrike on western Gaza City, while the Israeli artillery heavily shelled areas in Beit Lahia town and Jabalia refugee camp in the northern part of the enclave.
At least 20 Palestinians were killed when Israeli warplanes hit a house sheltering nearly 100 Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday, medical sources told Anadolu Agency.
The Civil Defense Service said early Tuesday that its teams had recovered eight bodies from the Karaja family building, and rescued dozens of others, mostly women and children.
Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Anadolu that the building was sheltering dozens of displaced people.
The spokesman added that efforts were underway by rescue teams to recover trapped people from the building struck by the Israeli forces.
Medical sources reported that scores of civilians were killed and others were injured as a result of Israeli raids that targeted the Tal al-Zaatar area and the school square in the Jabalia camp on Monday.
Additionally, ambulance and reuse crews were unable to reach the targeted areas due the ongoing Israeli shelling.
In Gaza City, ambulance crews managed to recover the bodies of three people and about nine injured persons after the occupation artillery and marches targeted several areas in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.
At least one Palestinian was killed and many others were wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a group of civilians near the Salah al-Din Gate, south of the city of Rafah.
The Israeli warplanes also bombed al-Salam, al-Jeneina, al-Tanur, and Brazil neighborhoods, all located in the city of Rafah.
In the central Gaza Strip, at least six civilians were in an Israeli artillery shelling on Nuseirat and Bureij camps.
Meanwhile the British foreign secretary on Tuesday said attacks on aid convoys carrying foods to Gaza are “appalling,” urging Israel to hold those “extremists” to account.
“Attacks by extremists on aid convoys en route to Gaza are appalling,” David Cameron wrote on X, stressing that Gazans are at risk of famine and in desperate need of supplies.
A video circulating on social media on Monday showed illegal Israeli settlers blocking the vehicles and throwing food aid boxes at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The food-carrying trucks were later set on fire.
“Israel must hold attackers to account and do more to allow aid in – I will be raising my concerns with the Israeli government,” added Cameron.
However, Camron has refused in the past to have any sanctions against Israel for its continued attacks on Palestinian civilians.
In addition, the UN said it was disturbed Tuesday by reports of illegal Israeli settlers storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem and raising an Israeli flag in the courtyards.
“We’re aware of these reports, which are very disturbing as you know, we always have called for and continue to call for respect for the status quo at all of the holy sites in Jerusalem and we do so again today,” Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN chief told reporters.
His remarks came after illegal settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex to mark Israel’s Independence Day with one holding an Israeli flag.
More than 400 illegal Israeli settlers forced their way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday amid restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshippers into the site, according to a Palestinian agency.
“Some 423 illegal settlers stormed the complex, with some settlers waving the Israeli flag,” the Jordan-run Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said in a statement.
“The Israeli police dealt nicely with the settlers who waved the flag of the Israeli occupation,” it added.
According to the agency, Palestinian worshippers of all ages were denied entry into the mosque.
“Some Palestinian youth and women were forced out of the mosque by an Israeli officer without any apparent reason,” the statement said.
There was no Israeli comment on the statement.
According to the Israeli government, 1,139 Israelis were killed by Hamas on October 7 in southern Israel, and 134 Israelis and foreign nationals are still detained by Hamas in Gaza.
