10 Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli airstrike on apartment in central Gaza Strip

GAZA, Dec. 17 (YPA) – At least ten Palestinian civilians from one family, including children and women, were killed and others were injured after Israeli occupation warplanes  targeted, at dawn an apartment belonging to the Al-Turk family near the Jabalia parking lot in the Palestine Square area, in the center of Gaza  Strip.

The attack led to extensive destruction of the building, amid extreme difficulty in rescue and evacuation operations due to the ongoing shelling.

In a dangerous development in the northern Gaza Strip, the occupation forces continued their aggression and targeting of Kamal Adwan Hospital, where drones launched more than 10 bombs at the hospital, while the occupation forces deployed three explosive bombs in its vicinity.

The hospital suffers from a complete power outage and a shortage of medicines and medical supplies as a result of the repeated bombing and siege imposed on the area.

Meanwhile, intensive artillery shelling continues north of Nuseirat camp and east of Khuza’a town in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, while Rafah city is witnessing continuous bulldozing and demolition of citizens’ homes.

In the southwest of Gaza Strip, occupation forces opened heavy fire in the Tal al-Hawa area, while warships targeted areas surrounding the Al-Alam roundabout, Ezbet al-Nada, and al-Firdaws area west of Rafah.
