Israeli air and artillery attacks killed at least 30 Palestinians and wounded dozens more across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, as Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave has gone unabated.

Among the dead were nine civilians killed in an Israeli drone strike on a school sheltering displaced families in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of northern Gaza City, according to medical sources quoted by Anadolu Agency.

The school had been repurposed as a shelter after months of displacement caused by continuous Israeli bombardment.

In southern Gaza, five people — including two children — were killed when an Israeli strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis.

Separate attacks in the same area claimed the lives of three more people, bringing the Khan Younis death toll to eight.

Central Gaza also witnessed a surge in violence. Medical sources reported that one person was killed by Israeli artillery fire in eastern Deir al-Balah.

In the Bureij refugee camp, two others sustained injuries in Israeli attacks.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for humanitarian aid near a distribution point at the Netzarim Corridor, killing three people and wounding others.

Meanwhile, in western Gaza City, Israeli shelling struck a residential home, killing six people and injuring at least 20 others, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing local medical officials.

At least three more people have been presumed dead under rubble in the Israeli air strikes.

The latest wave of violence comes as the Israeli army continues its relentless offensive against the Gaza Strip, which began in October 2023. Despite mounting international calls for a ceasefire, the campaign has resulted in the deaths of over 56,000 Palestinians, the vast majority of them women and children.
