Shafaq News– Gaza
At least 12 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Saturday after Israeli airstrikes hit multiple locations across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian medical and media outlets on Saturday.
An Israeli helicopter struck a residential apartment in western Gaza City, killing five people and injuring others. Another apartment near the Jabalia intersection in eastern Gaza City was also hit, leaving several people wounded. Two others were killed near the so-called “yellow line” southeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
In southern Gaza, an airstrike hit a tent sheltering displaced members north of Khan Younis, killing seven people and injuring others, including at least one person in critical condition.
The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that civilians in Gaza, particularly children, are facing increasingly severe risks as the violence continues alongside harsh winter conditions. “Ten children have died from hypothermia in Gaza since the onset of winter.”
