GAZA: At least eight Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed and dozens more injured this afternoon in a series of Israeli airstrikes which targeted residential homes in the town of Zawaida in central Gaza, according to local and medical sources. Israeli warplanes bombed over five inhabited houses in various areas of central Gaza, particularly in the town of Zawaida, resulting in the killing of at least eight civilians and leaving scores injured, with others still trapped under the rubble, the sources said. In Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, the Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces continue the detention of 12 of its team members, including seven individuals taken into custody from Red Crescent-affiliated Al-Amal Hospital over a week ago. The society expressed its deep concern for the safety of its detained personnel- whose fate remains unknown, urging the international community to intervene and press the occupation authorities to immediately release its detained members and to ensure protection for its teams working in the Gaza Strip. Earlier today, health authorities in Gaza announced that the Israeli military had committed nine massacres against families in the Gaza Strip during the previous 24 hours, leading to the killing of 83 civilians and injuring 125 others. Medical sources further reported that several victims are still trapped under the debris and on the streets across the enclave, as Israeli occupation forces are preventing the arrival of ambulance and civil defense teams in multiple areas where ground Israeli troops are deployed. The death toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th has now risen to a documented 28,858, with 68,677 injured, according to the Ministry of Health.
