Young girl among three civilians killed in Israeli airstrike on central Gaza

GAZA: Three civilians, including a young girl, were killed this evening in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residence in the Al-Zawaida town, located in the central Gaza Strip, according to local sources. Simultaneously, Israeli warplanes bombed the neighborhood of Al-Hassayna west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central province of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli occupation forces also continued their intensive shelling on various areas within the Gaza Strip, with the southern province of Khan Yunis being subjected to the most intense series of air raids and artillery bombardment. In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli war of genocide on Gaza has claimed the lives of approximately 25,700 individuals since October 7, with 63,740 others injured, the majority of whom are women and children. Worse still, the aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all of the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Ra fah near the border with Egypt-in what has become Palestine's largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
