MADRID Dec. 20 (EUROPA PRESS) –

At least seven Palestinians have died, including two children, after a bombing carried out by the Israeli Army against a residential building located in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the Gaza Strip.

The victims, among whom there were also several injured, have been transferred to the Al Awda Hospital in Nuseirat and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balá, in the center of the Strip, as reported this Friday by the WAFA news agency.

The authorities of the Palestinian enclave, controlled by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), have raised the death toll to more than 45,200 due to the military offensive launched by Israel against Gaza after the attacks of October 7, 2023.

The Israeli Army launched its offensive against Gaza after the aforementioned attacks, carried out by Hamas and other Palestinian groups, which left nearly 1,200 dead and about 250 kidnapped. Additionally, more than 800 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and in attacks carried out by settlers since then in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
