Israeli strikes killed at least 40 people in Gaza on Sunday, says the Gaza Civil Protection Authority. Among the dead were seven children and a cameraman from the Qatari media al-Jazeera.
According to Al-Jazeera, 39 years old Ahmad Baker al-Louh was killed in an attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp. The Israeli armed forces admitted to killing al-Louhi, but accused him of being a member of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad. According to the Population Protection Agency, three of the agency’s rescue workers also died in the attack on Nuseirat.
Later on Sunday, the agency said an Israeli airstrike on a school used as a shelter by Palestinian refugees killed at least 12 people, some of them children. An additional 35 people were wounded in the attack.
Six people were killed in a separate attack in the Shejaiya district east of Gaza City, according to the authority. In addition, attacks resulting in fatalities were reported at least from the central and northern parts of Gaza.
Israel has been harassing Gaza for more than 14 months. About 45,000 people have died in the attack, most of them civilians. The figures are from the statistics of the Gaza Civil Protection Authority, which the UN considers reliable.
