On Wednesday, the Israeli army committed a massacre in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of martyrs and wounded, while the Palestinian resistance directed new strikes at the occupation forces, confirming that they had killed soldiers and destroyed vehicles.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Wael Al-Dahdouh said that the occupation forces bombed with artillery and tanks a crowded street in front of the Al-Amal Hospital of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Khan Yunis, killing 25 and wounding dozens of others.
The reporter added that the bombing was concentrated, noting that the area surrounding the hospital has a large population density.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent also said that the bombing occurred while a large number of residents of the area and displaced people were shopping in the street, explaining that Al Amal Hospital was crowded with thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Earlier today, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 4 martyrs were recovered as a result of Israeli bombing from the Ma’an and Abasan regions, east of Khan Yunis.
In the center of the Gaza Strip, 5 were killed as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted a school housing displaced people in the Maghazi camp. The bombing also targeted the Nuseirat camp and the Juhr al-Dik area, where clashes are taking place between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation forces. At the same time, the bombing continues on Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip and Jabalia in the north.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, said yesterday evening, Tuesday, that the Israeli occupation forces committed 16 massacres within 24 hours, leaving 195 martyrs and 325 wounded.

Yesterday, the Israeli army announced that it had begun an attack on the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip, and had warned the camp’s residents to leave, which prompted many of them to flee towards Deir al-Balah.
Yesterday evening, the Israeli army said that it attacked 200 targets in the Gaza Strip from land, sea and air within 24 hours.

This brings the number of Israeli army deaths announced since the start of the ground operation in Gaza in late October to 170, and the total number of those killed since October 7th also rises to 498 deaths, including an officer and a soldier.
