Civilians targeted: Israeli attacks claim lives across Gaza
As the crisis in Gaza enters its 42nd day, Israeli army attacks kill scores of Palestinian civilians across Gaza in recent hours
Israeli army attacks killed scores of Palestinian civilians across Gaza on Friday, as reported by the Palestinian Wafa news agency
Four civilians were killed in an airstrike that targeted a house in the southern city of Khan Younis, while several others were murdered in another similar attack in a house in the nearby town of Bani Suhaila.
Palestinian news agency Wafa also reported the killing of at least 18 civilians in an airstrike that targeted another house in the Nuseirat refugee camp amid the killing of more people in the region of Jabalia.
Al Jazeera also reported that dozens of people have been killed in a new Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians were taking refuge amid the continuing Israeli violence.
The heinous attack also caused injuries among at least 100 people, with the number expected to increase as more data comes in, according to the same outlet.
The Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, according to the news outlet, only learned about the attack today even if it took place yesterday night, due to a blackout of telecommunication services across the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli airstrikes have escalated near the Indonesian Hospital's vicinity.
