JAKARTA - At least 12 Palestinians, including two boys, a pregnant woman, and eight police officers, were killed on Sunday, March 15 local time. They were killed by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Reuters on Monday, March 16, detailed that the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said that on Sunday morning, Israeli attacks hit a refugee camp in Nuseirat, central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of four people, including a couple in their 30s and their 10-year-old son.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said the dead wife was pregnant with twins.
The fourth victim, a 15-year-old boy, was taken to Awda hospital in Nuseirat.
"We were sleeping and woke up because of the missile attack. The attack was very strong," said Mahmoud Al-Muhtaseb, a neighbor of the victim.
"There was no prior warning," he continued.
The Palestinian Ministry of the Interior revealed that another Israeli airstrike occurred on Sunday afternoon, hitting a police vehicle on the southern-northern Salah Al-Din road at the entrance to the Zawaida city in central Gaza.
The ministry said the attack killed eight police officers, including Colonel Iyad Ab Yousef, a senior police official in central Gaza.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which received the bodies, confirmed the death toll of 12 Palestinians. Meanwhile, 14 others were injured.
Responding to the 12 deaths, the Israeli military said the attack targeted a Hamas militant on Sunday in response to a previous incident in which a militant fired shots at troops.
