September 23 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Israeli army killed five people, four of them children, and wounded others in a bombing raid on a house in Deir al-Bala, in the centre of the Gaza Strip, early Monday morning.

According to sources consulted by the WAFA news agency, the victims are four children and their mother who were in their home near Al Aqsa Hospital when the airstrike took place.

The Israeli army launched an offensive against Gaza following the attacks on October 7, which left nearly 1,200 people dead and around 250 kidnapped. Since then, Gazan authorities have reported more than 41,400 Palestinians killed in the enclave, in addition to more than 700 Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces and in attacks by settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since that date.
