Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday (17 September) resulted in the deaths of seventeen Palestinians, including seven in Gaza City, according to medical sources cited by the official Wafa news agency. The strikes also left several others wounded, adding to the mounting toll from the ongoing bombardment.
The violence followed earlier reports on Tuesday (16 September), which stated that 108 people had already been killed in Gaza. Among these casualties, ninety-three were from the northern part of the territory, nine from the central region, and six from the south. This highlights the widespread impact of the attacks across the strip.
Medical sources have emphasized the growing number of wounded individuals as hospitals struggle to cope with the influx of patients. The continuing strikes have overwhelmed local healthcare facilities, already operating under strained conditions due to shortages of supplies and power.
The rising death toll underscores the escalating crisis in Gaza, where civilians bear the brunt of the conflict. With casualties mounting each day, international concern over the humanitarian situation in the region continues to intensify.
