An Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza on Tuesday killed three Palestinians, the Quds News Network has reported, as IDF attacks continue across the Strip amid the US-Israeli war against Iran.
The report said the Israeli strike targeted a vehicle in the al-Mawasi tent camp in southern Gaza and that a child was among those killed in the strike. According to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, the child was 14 years old.
A day earlier, Israeli strikes hit Gaza City, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding several others. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the attack targeted a group of civilians in the northern al-Saftawi neighborhood.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update on Tuesday, which it releases about midday Gaza time, that at least two Palestinians were killed over the previous 24-hour period and 20 were injured. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
The ministry said that since the US-backed ceasefire deal was signed in early October, Israeli attacks have killed 673 Palestinians and wounded 1,799. In that same time, the bodies of 756 Palestinians killed by previous Israeli attacks had been recovered from the rubble, and around 9,000 bodies are estimated to be missing.
Back in January, the Trump administration declared that the “second phase” of the Gaza ceasefire had begun, but it did nothing to slow Israeli attacks, which occur daily. President Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” has also done nothing to stop the constant Israeli violations, and he launched a war with Iran less than two weeks after convening his first meeting of the body.
