Between 14 and 26 civilians, including four children and nine women, were injured in alleged Israeli airstrikes near Al-Sultan Tower on Yafa Street in Jabalya on May 12, 2021.
According to @paltimes2015, “14 civilians were injured, and their injuries were described as moderate to minor, as a result of the occupation targeting a house near the Sultan Tower on Jaffa Street in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip”.
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reported that at 3:20am, strikes on agricultural land near al-Qerm intersection resulted in 26 civilians, including 4 children and 9 women, being wounded due to the shattering glass. However, it is unclear if this is the same incident.
An image posted by @muhammedobuowda shows an explosion from the strike. The strikes were attributed to Israel.
