GAZA: Israeli warplanes and artillery launched a series of intense strikes tonight on the southern Gaza Strip, targeting various areas in the Khan Yunis governorate, according to local sources.

The sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted the Al-Manara neighborhood, southeast of Khan Yunis, simultaneously with continuous artillery shelling in the Miraj area in the province.

The airstrikes also hit the vicinity of the European Gaza Hospital, resulting in the injury of a displaced individual and material damage to hospital departments. Furthermore, a fuel station near the hospital was struck, leading to the killing of a civilian and injuries to approximately 6 others.

In Rafah, Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building in the Qeshta neighborhood. Additionally, a child was killed and others were injured when a residential apartment in the Hassan Salama Tower in the Jenena neighborhood, east of Rafah, was hit by an Israeli bombardment.

Medical sources confirmed that Israeli occasion forces committed 12 massacres in the past 24 hours, resulting in 107 fatalities and 165 injuries.

Meantime, local reports confirmed that the occupation forces targeted residential towers in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, causing a fire to break out in one of the targeted residential towers.

Israeli warplanes also targeted agricultural land near the Jafraawi area, south of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

In a preliminary toll, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in the murder of over 27,238 individuals, the majority of whom are innocent civilians, and over 66,451 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.
