STORYLINE:
At least 21 people, including five children and two women, were killed in strikes in central Gaza on Monday night, according to Al Aqsa hospital, where the bodies were taken.
The deadly strike in the Strip took place on the anniversary of the October 7 attack that triggered the war between Israel and Hamas.
Two strikes hit houses in Bureij refugee camp where emergency services recovered 21 bodies and took them to the hospital in Deir al Balah, which received about a dozen injured, including several children.
The bodies of two girls were lying next to each other on the floor of the morgue. Just some steps from them, a child and an adult.
An Associated Press journalist counted the bodies at the hospital morgue.
The emergency services said that more people were believed to be under the rubble of the buildings.
The latest strikes add to the mounting Palestinian death toll in Gaza, which is now nearing 42,000 according to the Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilian and militants.
Earlier, Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a barrage of rockets into Israel on Monday as mourners marked the anniversary of the October 7 attack, without disrupting a nearby ceremony.
Hamas also said it attacked Israeli forces in different parts of Gaza.
The Israeli military said it launched a wave of artillery and airstrikes overnight and into Monday to thwart what it said was an imminent attack.
It said it targeted Hamas launch posts and underground militant infrastructure.
The fighting on the anniversary underscored the militants’ resilience in the face of a devastating Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip.
On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militants blew holes in Israel’s security fence and stormed into nearby army bases and farming communities in a surprise attack, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250.
They are still holding about 100 captives inside Gaza, a third of whom are believed to be dead.
