Reports indicate that numerous Palestinian civilians have been killed, with many others sustaining injuries.

According to medical sources, nine civilians lost their lives and fifteen more were wounded when an Israeli airstrike targeted a house owned by the Al-Attar family in the Bureij camp located in central Gaza. The casualties were swiftly transported to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah for treatment.

In another tragic incident, seven individuals were killed, and eighty-six were injured after Israeli forces opened fire on a gathering of citizens awaiting relief aid at the Kuwait Roundabout in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of the city.

The violence extended across various regions of Gaza, with airstrikes hitting residential areas in Al-Mughraqa and Nuseirat camps, as well as targeting houses in Al-Zahraa City. Additionally, in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza, artillery shelling by Israeli forces resulted in further casualties as homes were struck in the eastern part of the city.

Rescue efforts were underway in the Hamad residential towers in Khan Yunis, where numerous slain Palestinians and wounded civilians were recovered from the debris after Israeli forces partially withdrew.

While no casualties were reported, Israeli boats fired shells near displaced persons' tents in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis, adding to the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the residents.

Meanwhile, in Rafah, a bombing targeting a house in the El Geneina neighborhood left several citizens injured.

The escalating violence has led to an alarming toll on Gaza's population, with the death toll since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7 last year now reaching 31,341, and the number of injured rising to 73,134. Tragically, many victims remain trapped under the rubble as the conflict persists. (ILKHA)
