Israeli military strikes have resulted in the deaths of over 40 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip as tensions escalate around Jabalia in the northern area of the enclave.
Palestinian health officials report that at least 11 people were killed by Israeli fire near al-Faluja in Jabalia, which is the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps. Additionally, 10 others died in Bani Suheila, located in eastern Khan Younis in the south, when an Israeli missile hit a house.
Earlier on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike destroyed three houses in the Sabra suburb of northern Gaza City, where two bodies have been recovered so far. Search operations are ongoing for 12 individuals who are believed to have been inside the houses at the time of the attack.
In another incident, five more people were killed when an Israeli strike hit a house in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
