Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that 18 martyrs were killed in Israeli raids on various areas of the Gaza Strip since Sunday morning, as the number of victims of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip on its 212th day reached 34,683 martyrs and 78,018 injured, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 6 people were killed, including 3 children, and a number of others were injured, after the Israeli occupation bombed a house in the Yabna Palestinian refugee camp in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
While the martyrs and injured were transferred to Kuwait Hospital in Rafah, medical and civil protection crews continued to search for more injured people under the rubble of the destroyed house.
Later, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that Israeli occupation aircraft bombed two other houses east of the city, completely destroying them, and wounding a number of passers-by with varying injuries. The occupation army’s artillery also intensified its bombardment on the eastern neighborhoods of the city.
School bombing
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that there were martyrs and wounded in an Israeli raid on a UNRWA school housing displaced persons in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said that warplanes launched a raid near the entrance to Al-Jaouni School in the Nuseirat camp, which led to the death and injury of a number of Palestinians and caused a state of panic and fear among thousands of displaced people inside the school.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, tens of thousands of Palestinians have sought refuge in various schools and shelter centers, as a result of their displacement from their areas of residence and the bombing of their homes.
From the central Gaza Strip, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that a martyr and a number of injured people had been killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted the Al-Masdar area near Salah al-Din Street. Ambulance teams transported the victims to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, which suffers from a lack of necessary medical supplies and personnel.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the occupation army committed 3 massacres in the Strip, killing 29 martyrs and 110 injured in the past 24 hours.
The Ministry also announced that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since October 7 had risen to 34,683 martyrs and 78,018 injuries.
Decomposing corpses
For his part, Civil Defense spokesman in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said that Civil Defense crews recovered the decomposed bodies of 5 martyrs of Palestinians who were previously killed by the Israeli occupation, by bombing their house in the vicinity of Palestine Stadium in Gaza City.
He added that civil defense crews are working hard with all available capabilities to search for the bodies of other martyrs under the rubble. He stressed that the agency is facing difficulty in exhuming bodies because it does not have the necessary capabilities, after the occupation destroyed its vehicles during the war.
According to previous statements by Palestinian officials in the Gaza Strip, a large number of victims are still under rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them. The government media office in the Gaza Strip previously announced that there are 10,000 missing persons inside the Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli war.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed a “strong military operation very soon” in a televised speech during his inspection of Israeli army forces in the Netzarim Corridor, which the latter established near Gaza City.
The city of Rafah is witnessing an escalation in Israeli air attacks targeting civilians and homes housing displaced persons, in addition to sites close to shelter centers and displacement tents near the Egyptian border.
Israeli officials insist on invading Rafah, claiming that it is the last stronghold of the Hamas movement, despite increasing international warnings of catastrophic repercussions, in light of the presence of about 1.4 million displaced people there.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has left tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to comprehensive and massive destruction of infrastructure and buildings, causing unprecedented disasters and humanitarian crises in the Strip.
