Israel airstrikes kill 38 Gazans since announcement of cease-fire deal

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 38 Palestinians in Gaza overnight, despite a ceasefire deal. The strikes targeted residential areas, including Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp. The ceasefire is set to take effect on Sunday, with a hostages-for-prisoners exchange.

The Israeli army killed at least 38 Palestinians in overnight airstrikes across the Gaza Strip since the announcement of a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas.

A medical source told Anadolu that an Israeli airstrike on a residential square in Gaza City left 20 Palestinians dead and many others injured.

Women and children were among the people killed in the airstrike, it added.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli warplanes carried out intensive Israeli airstrikes called “fire belts” on a residential square in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.

Five more Palestinians were killed and more than 10 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City, according to the Civil Defense.

In a third strike on Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed as the Israeli army struck an apartment in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, according to a medical source.
