Gaza (Quds News Network)- More than 70 Palestinian civilians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip, as Israel continues its bombardment of the enclave since Tuesday morning, resuming its genocidal war and violating the ceasefire agreement.
Local and medical sources have confirmed that more than 70 civilians have been killed so far, with the death toll expected to rise as many remain trapped under the rubble.
