The northern and western parts of the Nuseirat refugee camp were targeted, resulting in four deaths and 15 injuries. Three more lives were claimed in the Zaitoun neighborhood of Gaza city, with an additional 10 people injured.

The bombardment didn't stop there. Israeli fighter jets targeted the Jabalya town and refugee camp in the northern Strip, injuring seven, including three children. Israeli artillery also shelled the al-Bureij and al-Maghazi refugee camps in the central Strip, along with the neighborhoods of Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Ijlin, and az-Zaytoun in Gaza city, and the vicinity of Sheikh Zayed towers in Beit Lahia.

In the southern Strip, civilian houses in the eastern area of Khan Younes were targeted. Search and rescue teams are still working tirelessly to recover bodies from under the rubble. This morning, they managed to recover 24 bodies, including those of a child and women, following Israeli airstrikes on houses across the city of Rafah in the southern Strip.

Israel, currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7. The death toll has reached at least 34,488 Palestinians, with over 77,643 others injured. At least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations report that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children. The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of the displaced have been forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – marking Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba. (ILKHA)
