Victims include 6 children and an infant, according to medical sources

At least 16 Palestinians were killed Saturday in Israeli attacks on displacement tents in Khan Younis and central Gaza, according to medical sources.

Israeli artillery shelled tents sheltering displaced families in the Asdaa area northwest of Khan Younis, killing 12 people, including six children and an infant, and wounding several others.

In a separate strike, an Israeli drone targeted a house in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, leaving two dead and others wounded.

The Al-Awda Hospital reported additional casualties after Israeli drones hit an apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The facility said it received two bodies and 26 injuries in the past 24 hours, mostly from drone strikes on residential areas and gatherings near aid distribution points south of Wadi Gaza.

Israel has killed nearly 62,300 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
