Gaza bleeds: Ongoing israeli strikes bring more death and destruction on day 88
As the israeli onslaught on Gaza persists into its 88th consecutive day, the region witnessed another wave of relentless attacks, resulting in the loss of multiple innocent lives, including children and women.
Reports from local and medical sources confirm casualties and injuries amid nonstop Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling across the besieged enclave.
Overnight and into the early morning, numerous homes and structures were destroyed in the continuing Israeli assaults, according to witnesses and local sources. Warplanes and drones conducted a series of airstrikes, accompanied by artillery shelling, causing extensive damage across multiple areas of the Gaza Strip.
The al-Maghazi refugee camp in the northern region of the central Gaza Strip faced Israeli artillery bombardment, while naval forces heavily targeted other areas in the central governorate.
In the south, Khan Yunis experienced fierce Israeli airstrikes in central and eastern areas, coupled with artillery shelling in the northern neighborhoods, resulting in civilian casualties, including children and women.
Intense clashes erupted in northern Gaza regions where Israeli tanks advanced, coinciding with continuous aerial and artillery bombardment by Israeli forces.
In a tragic incident in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah, at least 15 civilians, mostly women and children, lost their lives, and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house.
In another heartbreaking event, multiple civilians were killed and wounded in an Israeli strike on a house in the Nusseirat refugee camp, central Gaza.
The toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression, since October 7, has reached alarming numbers, with a preliminary count reporting 21,978 people killed and 57,697 others injured. The majority of the victims are children and women, with the toll continuing to rise, and thousands still unaccounted for, according to health sources.
The international community remains deeply concerned about the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza as diplomatic efforts continue to address the protracted genocide. (ILKHA)
