At least 20 people killed in Israeli attack in central Gaza

TEHRAN, May 14 (MNA) – At least 20 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military strike on a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

At least 20 people were killed during an Israeli air strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp, located in the central part of the Palestinian enclave.

Israel unleashed its brutal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has so far killed at least 35,091 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 78,827 others.

Despite warnings from international humanitarian actors, Israeli troops recently took control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, Gaza's lifeline, and started carpet-bombing the city.

Israeli officials said it was the first step towards a full-scale assault on Rafah, home to around 1.5 million Palestinians who have been displaced due to the Gaza onslaught.

The Israeli attacks on Rafah further restricted aid delivery to the besieged Gaza amid acute shortages of fuel, food, and clean water.
