Gaza under fire: Death toll mounts as israeli aggression persists
The ongoing occupation aggression against the Gaza Strip has resulted in numerous casualties as the conflict enters its 125th day, with reports of extensive airstrikes and artillery bombardments targeting civilian areas.
In the latest wave of attacks, israeli warplanes bombed residential areas in Gaza City, targeting neighborhoods including Al-Rimal, Al-Sabra, and Al-Zaytoun, resulting in numerous casualties. Additionally, artillery shelling hit Al-Rimal and Al-Sabra neighborhoods, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Reports indicate that israeli drones targeted civilians in the western region of Gaza City, including university squares and industrial areas, leaving many injured and obstructing access for medical assistance.
Explosions and gunfire echoed in Al-Sabra, Al-Rimal, and Tal Al-Hawa neighborhoods as Israeli forces targeted residential homes, causing further devastation.
Tragic scenes unfolded in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, where Israeli airstrikes demolished homes belonging to the Fahjan and Al-Mughir families, claiming the lives of 14 civilians, including 5 children, and injuring many others.
In a separate incident, journalist Nafez Abdel Jawad and his son were killed in an Israeli missile strike on their home in Deir al-Balah.
Further south, Khan Yunis faced intense bombardment from Israeli warplanes and artillery, with eastern areas bearing the brunt of the assault.
The relentless aggression, ongoing since October 7th, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of 27,708 Palestinian civilians, predominantly women and children, and left approximately 67,147 others injured. Many remain trapped under rubble or displaced as the violence shows no signs of abating. (ILKHA)
