GAZA: Four civilians were killed today in intense Israeli aerial and artillery strikes targeting the eastern parts of the city of Deir al-Balah, in the center of the Gaza Strip.

According to medical sources, four civilians were brought to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, following an Israeli bombing of a building east of Deir al-Balah. Victims are still missing under the rubble.

The occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in the killing of 40173 civilians and the injury of 92857 others.

Thousands of victims are still buried under rubble and scattered on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense teams face tremendous difficulties in reaching them.

Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the ongoing intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, the lack of fuel and heavy machinery, devastated infrastructure and the mass amount of debris, which render it difficult to document fi
gures.
