Israeli airstrikes kill dozens in Gaza, amid rising deaths in Syria’s Palmyra

Israeli airstrikes have killed dozens of Palestinians in Gaza City and other areas, according to medical sources and rescuers.

Civil Defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal reported that 22 people were killed in a strike targeting a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood.

Palestinian journalists said that Israeli forces hit residential areas across Gaza, flattening several buildings near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north.

At least 66 Palestinians have been killed, over 100 injured, and many remain trapped under rubble.

In Syria, Israeli airstrikes on Palmyra killed 71 operatives from various armed groups, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said those killed in Wednesday’s strikes included 45 fighters from pro-Iran Syrian groups, 26 foreign fighters, most of them from the Iraqi Al-Nujaba movement, and four from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group.
