News agencies reported, citing Palestinian sources, that at least 35 Palestinians were killed on the morning of Thursday, December 13, during airstrikes by Israeli fighter jets in various areas of the Gaza Strip. According to Reuters, among the dead are children and women, including 7 people who died in the bombing of a residential building on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City. Additionally, 15 others were killed in the bombing of a house in the west of the Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, which was a shelter for refugees. The report states that in the western area of Rafah, located in southern Gaza, 13 Palestinians were killed and several others were injured. Earlier, rescuers announced that at least 30 people were injured in the attack on Rafah, with several in critical condition. In Khan Younis, another group responsible for the security of aid shipments was targeted in a separate Israeli airstrike, resulting in injuries to several of them. By the time this news was published, the Israeli army had not commented on the matter. On Wednesday, December 12, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly called for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the immediate release of all hostages. According to Reuters, although General Assembly resolutions are not binding, they are politically significant and reflect global views on the war. The United States, Israel, and seven other countries voted against this resolution, while 13 countries abstained. This war in the Gaza Strip began after armed Hamas members attacked Israeli settlements in October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking nearly 250 hostages to Gaza. According to Israeli sources, since then, the Israeli army has destroyed large areas of Gaza, displaced nearly all of its 2.3 million residents from their homes, and caused famine and deadly diseases. Palestinian health officials have reported that more than 44,800 people have been killed in these attacks so far. Hamas continues to attack Israel from the Gaza Strip. The U.S. emphasizes 'close consultations' with Israel regarding developments in Syria. The UN General Assembly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages.
