Today, Friday, the Israeli occupation continued its bombing of areas in Gaza, leaving martyrs and wounded, especially in the Al-Zaytoun and Deir Al-Balah neighborhoods, in addition to blowing up residential squares in the Beit Lahia and Jabalia project in the northern Gaza Strip.
4 were martyred and a number of others were injured in the occupation’s bombing of two homes on Al-Wahda Street and the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, while 8 were injured as a result of an air strike that targeted a sea rest stop west of the city of Deir Al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip.
While the occupation artillery continued to target the north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, the occupation army blew up residential squares using robots in the northern areas of the Beit Lahia project.
Palestinian sources also said that the occupation continues, from the hours of the night until this morning, to blow up buildings in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Earlier yesterday, Tel Aviv Tribune’s camera documented the occupation army firing bullets at ambulances trying to reach the wounded and the bodies of martyrs in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The pictures showed a Palestinian crying out for help after the death of his wife and children, while the people tried to calm him down despite his insistence on the need to rescue them, defying the difficult security conditions.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said yesterday that the occupation committed 3 massacres in the Strip, including 48 martyrs and 53 wounded who arrived in hospitals within 24 hours.
The Ministry reported that the number of victims of the Israeli aggression had risen to 44,330 martyrs and 104,933 injured since October 7, 2023.
Mounting warnings
The director of hospitals in the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed to Tel Aviv Tribune yesterday that the health situation in the Strip is catastrophic, and that a large number of hospitals are out of service, as a result of the occupation’s targeting and the depletion of fuel, saying, “We have lost about 75% of the capacity of the Strip’s hospitals.”
The World Health Organization also warned that the Gaza Strip, especially the northern Gaza Strip, is suffering from a severe shortage of medicine, food, fuel and shelter, calling on Israel to allow more aid to enter and facilitate humanitarian operations.
The organization’s Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that when the war broke out in Gaza more than a year ago, almost all those displaced by the conflict took refuge in public buildings or stayed with relatives, adding that 90% of them lived in tents.
He explained, “This makes them vulnerable to respiratory and other diseases, while cold weather, rain and floods are expected to exacerbate food insecurity and malnutrition.”
Ghebreyesus warned that the situation is particularly horrific in northern Gaza, where the Israeli army has continued a large-scale operation in the region since the beginning of last October.
In turn, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that survival conditions are diminishing for about 65 to 75 thousand people estimated to still be in northern Gaza.
The agency said – on the X website – that “out of 91 UN attempts to deliver aid to the besieged northern Gaza from October 6 to November 25, Israel refused to approve 82 attempts and obstructed 9 others.”
This comes as the occupation army continues its devastating war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and missing amid a humanitarian situation described as catastrophic and a worsening famine looming over the besieged Strip.
