The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip documented 14 massacres committed by the occupation army in the past 24 hours, while the occupation army confirmed the difficulty of fighting in the Gaza Strip, attributing this to what it described as the readiness of the Palestinian resistance.
Following the announcement of the documentation of these massacres, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that an Israeli bombing targeted a house in the last hours in the Khan Yunis camp in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in 4 martyrs, including a child.
Before that, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 19 people were martyred as a result of the continued Israeli raids and bombing on Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, bringing the number of martyrs in the Strip today close to 200.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation forces committed 14 massacres during the past 24 hours, which led to the death of 147 Palestinians and the injury of 243.
This brings the total number of martyrs since October 7 to 23,357, while the number of injured exceeds 59,000.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 5 were killed and a number of others were injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted agricultural land housing a number of displaced people north of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
In Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft bombed a house located in front of the gate of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The government media office said that 40 people were killed or wounded as a result of the raid that targeted the house.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that journalist Ahmed Badir was martyred as a result of the bombing that targeted the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.
Tel Aviv Tribune obtained special photos, for the first time, from inside the town of Khuza’a, east of the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, which witnessed fierce clashes between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation forces. The pictures show the extent of the massive destruction caused by the Israeli bombing in the area.
Targeting an ambulance
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent in the Gaza Strip announced the killing of 6 people, including 4 paramedics, in an Israeli strike that targeted an ambulance on the 96th day of the war between Israel and the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
The ambulance was on Salah al-Din Street, a highway extending from northern to southern Gaza, and was used by thousands of Palestinians fleeing the Israeli military advance in the Strip.
“It is unacceptable. I strongly condemn their killing,” said Secretary-General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Jagan Chapagin, on the X platform.
Losses and hard fighting
In this context, the Israeli army announced that 17 of its officers and soldiers were injured in the Gaza battles during the past 24 hours.
The Israeli army had previously announced that a reserve officer from the combat ambulance unit was killed last night, and a reserve soldier was seriously injured, during the battles taking place in the central Gaza Strip.
Thus, the declared deaths of the Israeli occupation army, including soldiers and officers, since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the war on Gaza on the 7th of last October, rise to 520, including 192 dead since the start of the ground operation on the 26th of last October.
The Israeli military spokesman said that the army attacked more than 150 targets in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours.
His planes bombed many of what the military spokesman described as militants in the Maghazi area and in Khan Yunis. He also announced the discovery of 15 tunnel openings and platforms for launching missiles and combat means. A machine for making rocket-propelled grenades was destroyed, according to what the Israeli military spokesman described.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari also said that there were operations carried out by the Israeli army to recover the “hostages”, at a time when other operations were stopped, and he added that there were various operations on the table to achieve this.
In turn, Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy said on Wednesday that his soldiers “are engaged in fighting in Gaza in a complex area above and below ground, with an enemy that has been preparing for a long time in an organized manner.”
Halevy explained that the fighting in Gaza is very complex given several factors, including the high preparedness of those he described as enemies.
During photos published by the Israeli army, which he said were of an inspection of the forces in the Bureij area in the Gaza Strip, Halevy described the loss of a number of deaths and injuries as a result of the ammunition truck explosion as a very bad event. He once again made threats to Lebanon, telling the soldiers that after they were able to do what they did in Gaza, they could do the same in Lebanon when needed, as he put it.
