The attack struck the Abu Samra family home on Al-Mazra'a Street, claiming the lives of civilians, including women and children.

According to local sources, the Palestinian news agency, the injured were immediately taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for medical attention. Search and rescue operations are still underway as teams comb through the debris in hopes of finding survivors or recovering more victims.

This incident adds to the grim tally of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023. The total casualties have now reached nearly 153,000, with a significant majority being women and children. The genocide has also left over 11,000 people missing, with vast areas of Gaza reduced to rubble, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis with severe shortages of food and water.

The international response has been one of condemnation. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken action by issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, highlighting the global concern over the conduct of the genocide.

The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with no immediate resolution in sight, as calls for ceasefire and humanitarian aid grow louder on the international stage. (ILKHA)
