Gaza: Dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, were martyred, and others were injured in Israeli occupation airstrikes across the Gaza Strip.
According to Qatar News Agency, Palestinian medical sources reported that the overnight shelling that continued into early Thursday claimed the lives of three displaced civilians in the Ma’an area, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Another Palestinian woman was martyred, and several others were injured following an Israeli airstrike on a home in the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of the city.
In a separate attack, an Israeli strike on a residential house in the Qizan Raswan area in southern Gaza resulted in the death of a woman and left multiple people injured. Another woman was also martyred when Israeli forces bombed her home in Qizan al-Najjar, south of the city.
A further airstrike targeted a residential building in the Customs Authority area, east of Khan Younis, leading to the martyrdom of six civilians, including women and children. In Gaza City, an Israeli strike on a home in the Al-Yarmouk neighborhood in the city center resulted in the martyrdom of a doctor and several of his children.
Meanwhile, three Palestinians were martyred, and more than 15 others were injured, with several still missing, after an Israeli strike hit a residential house in the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of the city. Israeli occupation forces continue artillery shelling, accompanied by heavy machine gun fire from Israeli tanks, targeting the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah, southern Gaza.
The Ministry of Health stated that the death toll from Israel’s aggression on Gaza has risen to 50,423 martyrs, with 114,638 injuries recorded since October 7, 2023. Israel resumed its assault on Gaza on March 18, following a two-month ceasefire that had taken effect on January 19. However, throughout that period, Israel repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreement, continuing to bomb various locations in Gaza, causing further casualties. It also refused to implement humanitarian protocols and tightened its already suffocating siege on the Strip, exacerbating an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
