An Israeli attack in Jabalia town, northern Gaza Strip, has killed at least nine Palestinians, including three children and two women. Several others sustained injuries in the attack, according to Palestinian sources. The attack targeted the home of Dr. Akram al-Najjar, a professor at Al-Quds Open University on Gaza Street in Jabalia.
Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, reported that the attack resulted in significant casualties and damage to neighboring houses.

The injured and deceased have been transported to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza. As of now, the Israeli authorities have not issued any comment on the attack.
The recent airstrike is part of a larger Israeli offensive against Hamas, which began after a Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. That assault resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and over 250 hostages taken. The ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza have raised the Palestinian death toll to 41,020, according to local health authorities.
In summary, the latest airstrike has intensified the already severe situation in Gaza, with continued efforts to manage the casualties and damages.
