At least 13 Palestinians were killed on Thursday in an Israeli airstrike on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, according to Palestinian sources, reported Xinhua.
Eyewitnesses told Xinhua that an Israeli drone targeted a group of people gathering at a flour distribution point in the city center of Deir al-Balah.
Medics from Al-Aqsa Hospital told Xinhua that medical workers recovered the bodies of at least 13 people, including security personnel and children, and evacuated several injured people to the hospital in Deir al-Balah.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military regarding the airstrike.
This brings the number of Palestinians killed since the early hours of Thursday to about 62, as a result of Israeli gunfire and shelling across the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
Since Israel resumed its intensified military campaign on March 18, at least 5,936 Palestinians have been killed and 20,417 others injured, bringing the overall death toll in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 to 56,259, with a total of 132,458 people injured, according to health authorities in Gaza on Thursday.
