Alwaght- Israeli regime's warplanes launched a fresh round of airstrikes on Gaza in the early hours of Saturday, the fifth consecutive day of relentless Israeli aggression against the besieged strip.
Palestine’s official Wafa news agency said the Israeli fighter jets targeted with missiles a five-story building belonging to the family of Baha Abu Atta, the former commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement who was assassinated in a 2019 operation, in the Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza and another house in the Yarmouk area in the central Gaza City.
“The house in the Yarmouk area of Gaza was bombed by a missile from a drone, then by two missiles from a warplane, which resulted in its complete destruction,” Wafa said.
The news agency added that the Israeli airstrikes on the two houses left three people, including a woman, injured and resulted in material damage to some neighboring houses as well as power outages in parts of the two targeted areas.
The occupation warplanes also bombed on Saturday an agricultural land in the vicinity of the popular Firas market in the center of Gaza City.
Moreover, the Israeli strikes targeted agricultural lands near the Fallujah cemetery, east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, and another land east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, without causing any injuries.
It raised the death toll from the Israeli onslaught on Gaza to 33, including three women and six children, while more than 150 have been wounded, some being in critical condition.
The recent aggression came just hours after an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighborhood left at least three Palestinians dead and 10 others injured, with reports saying a senior commander of al-Quds Brigades – the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad – was among those martyred in the attack.
The Islamic Jihad has vowed to strike targets deep inside Israel in response to the targeting of residential homes in Gaza.
The Israeli regime has been continuously bombarding the strip over the past several days, assassinating several resistance commanders in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In response, Palestinian resistance factions have launched retaliatory strikes toward Israeli cities and settlements.
The Israeli military says so far nearly 1,000 rockets have been fired from the strip.
