A number of Palestinians were martyred and injured due to intensive Israeli airstrikes that targeted various areas in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that the death toll from Israeli occupation forces' shelling of a populated house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has risen to 8 Palestinians, including children. Additionally, 6 Palestinians from one family were killed as Israeli airstrikes targeted a house in the Bureij camp in central Gaza. Two Palestinians were also killed in another airstrike that targeted a school sheltering displaced persons in Gaza City. Artillery shelling also targeted the southern Tel al-Hawa neighborhood southwest of the city. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes carried out several raids on the town of Al-Qarara north of Khan Yunis city in southern Gaza. Artillery also targeted several sites west of Rafah in the south, concurrently with firing from Israeli vehicles. The Israeli aggression, now in its 9th consecutive month, continues with intensive and comprehensive attacks in Gaza. This includes dozens of airstrikes and land and sea bombardments, resulting in deadly massacres against Palestinian civilians, leaving tens of thousands dead, injured, and missing. It has also caused immense destruction to infrastructure and vital facilities, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Despite increasing international and UN calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and accelerated aid delivery, the Israeli entity persists in its destructive war, disregarding two UN Security Council resolutions demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities and International Court of Justice orders to take measures to prevent genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.
