A series of airstrikes by the Israeli occupation forces early Friday resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries in the Gaza Strip, particularly in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah. According to Palestinian news agency (WAFA), at least four Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli attack targeting a home in eastern Deir al-Balah. The strikes also led to numerous injuries among residents. The occupation forces also targeted homes and a shelter for displaced individuals in both Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, and deployed incendiary bombs that ignited fires in homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp, WAFA added. The assaults were accompanied by heavy artillery fire aimed at southern Gaza City. In Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes struck several sites, including a home, resulting in further casualties and injuries. The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 2023 has so far resulted in 41,788 documented Palestinian fatalities, with an additional 96,794 individuals sustaining injuries, the majority of whom are women and children. Thousands are also feared dead under the rubble of destroyed structures across the war-torn enclave, with civil defense teams and emergency services unable to reach several areas due to safety concerns amid the indiscriminate Israeli attacks.
