GAZA: At least six civilians were reported killed, with dozens sustaining injuries, this afternoon as the occupying Israeli regime continues its relentless aggression on the Gaza Strip from the land, air and sea for the 113th consecutive day.
In Gaza City, medical sources confirmed that three individuals were killed following an Israeli shelling that targeted a group of civilians near the Kuwait Roundabout in the city.
The same location had witnessed a heinous crime just two days ago, resulting in the deaths of 20 civilians and injuring 105 others as Israeli troops opened gunfire targeting a group of citizens awaiting desperately needed UN assistance.
In southern Gaza, the bodies of two martyrs were transferred to the European Gaza Hospital after an Israeli strike on the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis.
Meantime, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced the murder of a displaced person by Israeli forces’ gunfire in the vicinity of the besieged Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, which has been under co
ntinuous siege for the past five days and subjected to persistent shelling, despite serving as a refuge for several displaced families.
Simultaneously, the bodies of several martyrs were buried in the vicinity of the Palestine School in Khan Yunis as invading Israeli tanks continue to besiege the school, shooting at anyone trying to leave or enter the premises.
The Red Crescent emphasized that the siege and shelling pose a threat to the safety of its teams, as well as to the wounded, patients, and displaced individuals at its headquarters in Khan Yunis. The organization called on the international community to provide protection for its premises and personnel.
Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed 18 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 174 fatalities and 310 injuries, according to the local health authorities.
Medical sources reported that 28 people were killed, and others were injured, due to continuous Israeli shelling on Khan Yunis in the last 24 hours.
In a p
reliminary toll, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in the death of 26,257 individuals, the majority of whom are innocent civilians, and 64,797 injuries.
Worse still, the aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all of the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt-in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
