Gaza's civil defence says 11 killed in Israeli strikes and shelling

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Nov 26, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Gaza's civil 
defence agency said Tuesday morning that 11 people were killed in nighttime 
Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling across the Palestinian territory.

In the northern city of Jabalia, seven people were killed and several others 
wounded in an air strike on a residential building, civil defence spokesman 
Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

Another person was killed in a strike on a house in nearby Beit Lahia, which 
along with Jabalia has been the site of an intensive Israeli military 
operation since October 6.

Two people were killed by artillery shelling on Nuseirat camp in central 
Gaza, Bassal said.

In the southern city of Rafah, an air strike killed one and wounded several, 
he added.

Hamas's attack on October 7 last year resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, 
most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official 
figures.

Israel's retaliatory campaign has killed 44,235 people in Gaza, according to 
figures from the Hamas-run territory's health ministry that the United 
Nations considers reliable.
