At least 90 people have been killed in multiple Israeli strikes on Gaza overnight as the war in the enclave shows no letup.
At least 51 people were killed and dozens injured during an Israeli incursion in Khan Younis overnight, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Wednesday.
“A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads,” the ministry said, adding that “ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.”
A member of the Gaza Civil Defense said Israeli strikes began on Tuesday in an area “where hundreds of displaced people were taking shelter” and teams were facing difficulty in recovery missions because of a lack of equipment.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment on the incursion in Khan Younis.
In Gaza City, the Israeli military said it carried out strikes on two schools. At least 21 people were killed in the strikes on the sites where Palestinians were sheltering, many of them children, the Civil Defense and a medical source at Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City said. The Israeli military said it carried out “precise” strikes, and that they were targeting a “Hamas command and control centers” inside “compounds that previously served” as schools in Gaza City.
In another incident in Gaza City, the Civil Defense and Al Ahli Hospital said four people were killed, including two children.
Israeli artillery shelling south of Wadi Gaza, near Netzarim, killed 14 people overnight, and airstrikes on Nuseirat in central Gaza, killed six people, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Dead and shrouded children were brought into the hospital after a strike south of Wadi Gaza, the video shows. One of them is clearly only a few months old and her father bends down to clear her face from dust and sand.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment. Earlier, they had said “troops identified dozens of suspects moving toward” them and “posing an immediate threat to them.” The soldiers opened fire at the suspects and “hits were identified.”
