ALBAWABA- Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip killed at least 21 Palestinians on Sunday, the third day of Eid al-Adha, as airstrikes, drone shelling, and gunfire continued to batter the region, according to medical sources and local reports.
Among the dead were six Palestinians gunned down near aid distribution centers, including four west of Rafah and one near the Wadi Gaza bridge, where large crowds had gathered in desperate hope of receiving humanitarian assistance.
A source at Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed eight deaths in Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza following an Israeli airstrike that also destroyed a residential building. Rescue teams recovered the bodies from the rubble. The same town was targeted again when Israeli forces detonated an explosives-laden robot in a densely populated area.
In the south, homes were bombed in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, while drone fire injured civilians, including displaced persons sheltering in tents in the Al-Mawasi area.
Hospital officials reported that at least 11 Palestinians were killed on Sunday alone, and dozens more were injured, marking another bloody day in a war that has now lasted nearly 20 months.
According to health sources, the death toll during the three days of Eid has risen into the hundreds, with women, children, and the elderly making up the majority of the victims.
What should have been a time of celebration has turned into a deepening tragedy for Gaza’s population. The ongoing Israeli campaign has, to date, killed and wounded over 170,000 people, roughly 8% of Gaza's population, leaving little untouched by grief.
