Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and wounded in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip on Sunday, while ambulance and civil defense crews recovered the bodies of more than 120 martyrs from under the rubble in the Jabalia camp, north of the Strip, which was declared along with Beit Hanoun as disaster areas, amid continuing clashes.
Two days after the occupation army withdrew from the northern Gaza Strip, operations to extract martyrs from under the rubble of Jabalia camp continue.
Meanwhile, the head of the municipal emergency committee in northern Gaza declared Jabalia and Beit Hanoun two disaster areas, due to the unspeakable destruction resulting from the operation that lasted 20 days.
For its part, the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that the occupation forces committed 4 massacres during the last 24 hours, with 60 martyrs and 220 injured arriving at hospitals.
She added that the death toll from the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7 rose to 36,439 martyrs and 82,627 injured.
Targeting Gaza City
In the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, a man, his wife, and their infant child were martyred as a result of Israeli occupation aircraft targeting the home of the “Al-Nabih” family, near Shawa Square, in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of the city.
Civil defense crews recovered the bodies of the martyrs and a number of wounded from the site. Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that civil defense crews continued their efforts to extract the injured from under the rubble of the house.
Israeli artillery stationed in the eastern and southern areas of Gaza City targeted the southern Al-Zaytoun and Al-Sabra neighborhoods intermittently, in conjunction with intense gunfire.
Violent clashes also broke out between resistance factions and the Israeli army in the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City, coinciding with the firing of shells towards army forces stationed there.
Israeli artillery bombed the city of Al-Zahra and the prisoner towers northwest of the Nuseirat camp (center), while Israeli artillery intensified its bombardment of the eastern areas of the Bureij, Al-Maghazi, and Deir Al-Balah camps (center).

Rafah bombing
In Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced that they targeted two D-9 military bulldozers with two Tandom shells on Salah al-Din Gate Street in the city.
An Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent reported that two Palestinians were injured in a bombing by an Israeli drone, targeting a gathering of people in the Al-Zuhur neighborhood, north of Rafah.
The Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, was also subjected to bombing by an Israeli drone, which led to casualties.
In Khan Yunis, Israeli gunboats fired shells and machine-gun fire into the open sea opposite the Al-Mawasi area, while warplanes launched raids targeting land in the town of Al-Qarara, north of the city.
Israel continues its aggression, ignoring a Security Council resolution demanding that it stop the fighting immediately, and orders from the Court of Justice demanding that it stop its attack on Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, and take immediate measures to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.
