The Ministry of Health in Gaza said, in a statement today, Saturday, that 35,903 Palestinians were martyred and 80,420 others were injured in the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip since October.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that the continuous Israeli raids on various areas of the Gaza Strip, since this morning, led to the death of 31 people, including children.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the occupation forces threw firebombs at dozens of homes in the Al-Qasaib neighborhood, in the Jabalia refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, and continued to besiege shelter centers run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the town of Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip.
There were martyrs and wounded in shooting from drones on citizens in the Al-Faluga area, in Jabalia camp. Our correspondent said that the bodies of dozens of martyrs were spread in the streets of the camp, and civil defense crews were unable to recover them due to the fiery siege imposed by the occupation forces on the camp for 14 days.
Medical sources had previously reported that 10 people were killed and 17 injured in an Israeli bombing of the Al-Nazla School in the Al-Saftawi area, north of Gaza. 10 Palestinians were also martyred, and others were injured, in the targeting of a house in Beit Hanoun.
Al-Nazla School, like many schools in the Gaza Strip, shelters a number of displaced families who were forced to search for a safe haven to escape the Israeli bombing.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces continue to bomb residential areas east and center of Rafah. Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 3 Palestinians were martyred as a result of an Israeli bombing targeting Al-Najma Roundabout in the Shaboura Camp in central Rafah.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent had previously reported the death of a young Palestinian as a result of a bombing by an Israeli march on “Awni Dhair” Street, in the city of Rafah, and the martyr was transferred to Kuwait Hospital.
The occupation forces also carried out sweeping and combing operations in the vicinity of Salah al-Din Gate, on the Palestinian border, south of Rafah.
Since May 6, Israel has launched a ground attack on Rafah, and the next day it seized the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, closing it to the crossing of the wounded and already scarce humanitarian aid.
The attack also caused the displacement of nearly a million Palestinians from Rafah, according to the United Nations, after the city contained 1.5 million, including 1.4 million displaced people from other parts of the Strip.
Israel continues the war, despite the International Criminal Court’s intention to issue arrest warrants against its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and its Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, for their responsibility for “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity,” and despite the issuance of a decision by the UN Security Council to immediately stop the fighting.
