The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said on Friday that the Israeli occupation committed 12 massacres against families, killing 142 martyrs and 278 injured during the past 24 hours, in continuation of its ongoing aggression against the Strip for the 105th day.
The Ministry explained – in a statement – that the number of victims of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip rose to 24,762 martyrs, in addition to 62,108 injured since October 7.
She added that a number of victims are still under the rubble, and on the roads, ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
Today, Israeli tanks continue to penetrate the city of Khan Yunis, the main city in the southern Gaza Strip, to which hundreds of thousands have been displaced to escape the Israeli bombing.
The Waiters news agency quoted individuals from Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, which contains displaced persons as well as patients, as saying that they heard the sounds of artillery shelling from tanks advancing to the west of the city, while residents spoke of violent gun battles in the south.
Also in Khan Yunis, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced that displaced people were injured in the bombing of the occupation marches on the association’s headquarters and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the number of martyrs had risen to 10 in Khan Yunis since dawn, after two were martyred in an Israeli bombing of Abasan. The Israeli bombing focused on homes and residential neighborhoods in Khan Yunis.
Moreover, the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Hospital in the Gaza Strip was subjected to Israeli air and artillery bombardment.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the area targeted by Israel contains residential complexes in which large numbers of civilian residents live, and added that a number of wounded people were recovered from the place.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported earlier that 15 Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted an apartment in the vicinity of Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City this morning.
Our correspondent also reported that the Israeli bombing of Al-Nour Mosque in the Al-Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City resulted in casualties.
Meanwhile, clashes and Israeli artillery shelling continued east of the town of Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip.
According to the United Nations, about 85% of the Strip’s population of 2.3 million people were forced to seek shelter in its south, which has now become the focus of the Israeli army’s attack.
The ability of individuals to follow the latest threats, report attacks, check on their relatives, or even communicate with rescue services has been severely reduced due to the almost complete loss of communications, which has now entered its eighth day, representing the longest period of interruption since the beginning of the war.
Israeli forces carried out limited withdrawals from northern Gaza this month and said operations there were largely completed.
On the other hand, the mayor of Gaza, Yahya al-Sarraj, said that the continued aggression and the fuel shortage crisis pose a challenge to providing basic services to citizens.
He called on the international community to intervene urgently and provide fuel, electricity generators, and equipment to provide services.
He pointed out the accumulation of more than 50,000 tons of waste, which threatens the spread of dangerous diseases and epidemics.
