Nineteen killed in Israeli strike in northern Gaza
No fewer than 19 people have been killed in an Israeli attack in northern Gaza, local media reported on Monday.
Several people were injured when Israeli fighter jets shelled a house in Jabalia, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. Minors are said to be among the dead.
The Israeli military said it was investigating the report.
In a separate statement posted on Telegram, the military said “operational activity against terrorist organisations” continues across the Gaza Strip.
Over the past 48 hours, the air force struck more than 200 targets across the war-torn coastal enclave, it said.
This included “terrorists, weapon storage facilities, sniper and anti-tank missile posts, tunnel shafts, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites.’’
More than 50 people have reportedly been killed in the Gaza Strip amid the Israeli attacks since last night.
The Israeli military reported renewed shelling from the Gaza Strip, with two projectiles said to have been fired from southern Gaza coming down in the Palestinian territory.
At the same time, another was intercepted before reaching Israeli territory.
There were no initial reports of injuries or damage.
Since the start of the Gaza war, members of Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organisations in the Gaza Strip have fired thousands of rockets at Israel.
