Twelve bodies recovered in the Jabalia refugee camp, where the Israeli army launched a ground offensive 11 days ago.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, including in Jabalia in the north where the Israeli military launched an offensive 11 days ago.
At least 55 people were killed in the past 24 hours in the enclave, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Tuesday, with at least 12 bodies recovered after an Israeli attack near al-Faluja in the besieged Jabalia refugee camp.
Mahmoud Basal, the spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza, said seven of those killed belonged to the al-Sayed family. He said their bodies were buried in their family home.
The other five bodies were recovered from the streets of the neighbourhood, said Basal.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces attacked the Birkat Abu Rashid area of the camp, killing at least three people and wounding several others, according to Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif, reporting from the scene.
