STORYLINE:
Three airstrikes on the crowded Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza on Wednesday killed at least 18 people and wounded several others, according to a hospital director.
Two ambulances arrived at one of the sites hit in the Al Jurn neighborhood where dozens of men and boys gathered to search for victims.
At least four bodies were found.
In other shellings another 14 people were also killed.
The victims were taken to the Kamal Edwan Hospital where its director, Dr. Hosam Abu Safiya, said there were women and children among the killed without providing details.
Issam Juneid, who lives next to where one of the strikes landed, said some people were still missing and unaccounted for.
Earlier this month, Israeli troops pulled out of the Jabaliya camp in northern Gaza after weeks of fighting with Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups caused widespread destruction.
First responders have recovered the bodies of 360 people, mostly women and children, killed during the battles.
Humanitarian organizations have struggled to access battered northern Gaza, which has suffered widespread destruction and which Israeli troops have surrounded and largely isolated since the earliest days of the ground invasion.
Israel launched the war in Gaza after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, in which militants stormed into southern Israel, killed some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and abducted about 250.
Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 37,600 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
