JAKARTA - Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip killed 33 Palestinians. The Israeli military carried out airstrikes against a house in the city of Beit Lahiya on the northern edge of Gaza.
The attack in Beit Lahiya killed 22 people, including women and children, health officials said.
More than 30 people lived in the multi-story building before the attack, and some family members were still missing as rescue operations continued throughout the morning, Palestinian news agency WAFA said.
The Israeli military told Reuters on Wednesday, December 11, it launched an attack targeting Hamas militants near Kamal Adwan Hospital, located between Beit Lahiya and Jabalia, the cities on the northern edge of Israel's surrounded Gaza for two months.
Near Beit Hanoun, who is also part of a surrounded area, medics said Israeli airstrikes killed and injured several people, without providing a definite amount.
Rescue workers said some people were trapped under the rubble.
Earlier, seven Palestinians were killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes against homes in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, medics told Reuters.
Palestinian Civil Emergency Services and medics said four other people were killed in separate Israeli airstrikes against two homes in Gaza City, including journalist Eman Al-Shani and his son.
He is the 193rd journalist to be killed by Israel since the start of the war, the Palestinian Journalists Association said.
The Israeli military said two rockets were fired from the central Gaza Strip into Israel but fell in an open area and did not cause casualties.
This demonstrates the ability of Gaza militants to continue to launch rocket attacks despite Israeli air and ground attacks that have destroyed them for 14 months.
On Wednesday, the Israeli military ordered residents in the Al-Maghazi camp in central Gaza to evacuate, citing rocket launches from the area. They urged them to head for a humanitarian zone near the Mediterranean coast.
