Dozens of martyrs and wounded were killed in bombings and raids by the Israeli occupation on several areas throughout the Gaza Strip since yesterday evening, Sunday, and the occupation army again targeted a school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) housing displaced persons in the Nuseirat camp.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that 21 martyrs, including children, were killed as a result of Israeli raids that targeted 11 homes in the city of Rafah since yesterday evening, Sunday.
The reporter explained that 4 martyrs, including two children, were killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house for the Abu Lebda family in the Al-Jeneina neighborhood, east of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Also, 9 people, including 4 children, were martyred in an Israeli bombing of a house in the Al-Tanour neighborhood, east of the city of Rafah, and the bombing caused significant material damage, according to the reporter.
One martyr and a number of others were wounded in an occupation air strike that targeted a house for the Al-Khawaja family in the Al-Bilbisi area, east of Rafah.
Israeli occupation aircraft also bombed two houses east of the city, completely destroying them and wounding a number of bystanders with varying injuries. The occupation army’s artillery also intensified its bombardment of the eastern neighborhoods of the city.
Agence France-Presse quoted Civil Defense teams in Gaza as saying that 7 members of the Al-Attar family were martyred, along with 9 members of the Qishta family, in a missile strike, yesterday evening, Sunday, on the Yabna refugee camp and in the Al-Salam neighborhood, east of Rafah.
Medical sources reported to Anadolu Agency correspondent that 6 martyrs, including two children, one of whom was an infant, and others with varying injuries (the number was not specified) arrived at Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, east of Rafah, after the two families were targeted.
The correspondent pointed out that the warplanes targeted land in the vicinity of Al-Aqqad School in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah. He also reported an intense flight of Quadcopter aircraft in the eastern regions.
Targeting an UNRWA school
In addition, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 6 people were martyred and others were injured in a bombing by Israeli occupation aircraft that targeted an UNRWA school housing displaced persons in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
He added that a number of the wounded were transferred from Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat to Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah due to the seriousness of their condition.
This is not the first time that Israel has bombed UNRWA buildings in Gaza, but this development coincided with the announcement by UNRWA Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini, yesterday, Sunday, that Israel had refused his entry into the Gaza Strip for the second time within a week.
Earlier on Sunday, a number of Palestinians were killed and injured by Israeli warplanes bombing, near the entrance to Al-Jaouni School, which houses displaced people in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, tens of thousands of Palestinians have taken refuge in various schools and shelter centers, some of which belong to UNRWA, as a result of their displacement from their areas of residence and the bombing of their homes.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, leaving tens of thousands of victims, most of them children and women, in addition to massive and comprehensive destruction of infrastructure and buildings, causing disasters and humanitarian crises, according to government and UN officials.
