Israeli attacks kill at least 19 Palestinians, including children, across Gaza

Israeli attacks killed at least 19 Palestinians, including children, and injured numerous others across Gaza on Sunday, according to health officials and Gaza’s Civil Defense.

Gaza’s Civil Defense said another airstrike hit tents in the Al-Mawasi area, which the Israeli military has designated a “humanitarian zone” for displaced Palestinians, killing at least four people. One of them was an infant girl that arrived at a nearby hospital, according to a statement by the Kuwait Specialized Field hospital.

“My son, my son, my brother, his wife, his sister, and my sister are all gone,” he says as he walks toward the hospital entrance. “They struck a tent, I swear they struck a tent, my mother is gone.”

Five other people were killed in attacks in Gaza City and Deir Al-Balah, the Civil Defense spokesman said in a statement on Sunday.

Israel launched its war on Hamas in Gaza in retaliation to the militant group’s October 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and kidnapped more than 250 others.

Since then, Israeli attacks have killed more than 39,000 people and injured over 90,000 others since October 7, according to figures by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
