Two children killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza

GAZA: Two Palestinian children were killed on Friday evening in an Israeli airstrike on the city of Gaza, according to medical sources. They said that paramedics and people managed to retrieve the bodies of two children and evacuate a number of casualties from the rubble of a house targeted by an Israeli airstrike in an-Nafaq area in Gaza. The fatalities and casualties were taken to al-Ahly al-Arabi Hospital, also known as al-Mamadani. Earlier this evening, an Israeli warplane targeted the house of the Mudawekh family in the Gaza city neighbourhood of ad-Daraj, killing three people and injuring others. Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention. Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 38,011 Palestinians and injuri ng over 87,445 others. Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip. Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children. The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt - in what has become Palestine's largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
