As the brutal aggression enters its 166th day, residential areas, including homes and buildings, have become targets of Israeli bombardment.

Reports from Gaza City indicate that the Israeli military targeted Al-Rimal neighborhood and the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital in the early hours of Wednesday. At least 20 people lost their lives in a missile strike on a residential building in western Gaza City, with further casualties reported in the Sidra area of the Daraj neighborhood to the east.

The violence escalated as Israeli artillery bombed residential apartments in the Mushtaha building, opposite the Shawa Hosari Tower in Gaza City. The situation has left many families trapped in Al-Rimal neighborhood, facing dire circumstances amidst relentless Israeli attacks.

Witnesses revealed that patients from the Shifa Medical Complex were forcibly evacuated, with many transferred to the Baptist Hospital in critical condition. Meanwhile, the death toll rose in Nuseirat camp as Israeli warplanes targeted a residential house owned by the Al-Habbash family, claiming the lives of 27 individuals, most of whom were displaced.

In Bureij refugee camp, six people were killed in airstrikes on a residential house. Additionally, heavy gunfire from Israeli occupation army vehicles in the eastern areas of Deir al-Balah resulted in further civilian casualties and injuries.

The ongoing genocide underscores the urgent need for international intervention to protect Palestinian civilians and bring an end to the relentless Israeli aggression. As casualties mount and families endure unimaginable suffering, the conflict shows no signs of abating, posing a grave humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. (ILKHA)
