Scores of innocent Palestinian civilians have been savagely murdered and many others injured in an ongoing series of Israeli attacks since last night targeting the Gaza Strip by land, sea, and air, according to local and medical reports.

The relentless Israeli bombardments have resulted in the destruction of numerous homes, buildings, residential apartments, and both public and private properties.

In Gaza City, local sources reported that several civilians were killed and others injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in the Al-Daraj neighborhood.

Also in Gaza City, Israeli warplanes targeted six houses belonging to the Dahshan and Al-Akka families in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, resulting in dozens of casualties and injuries. Many civilians are reportedly trapped under the rubble.

The Israeli military further bombed a house in the Nadim area of the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Airstrikes were also reported in the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern G
aza.

Meantime, Israeli warplanes carried out multiple air raids on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza simultaneously with shelling targeting residential squares from Israeli tank units.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation military bombarded the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza with missile shells, leaving a trail of devastation and loss of innocent lives, with many feared dead under the rubble of destroyed homes.

Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling also targeted the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, causing casualties among civilians. Additionally, several homes in the town of Al-Qarara and the eastern and coastal areas have been targeted by Israeli bombardment.

Furthermore, the homes of the Abu Eita and Abu Zeitoun families in northern Gaza were hit by Israeli airstrikes.

Due to the severe disruptions of telecommunications, there are no final data regarding the number of casualties, as many Israeli airstrikes and their tragic consequences across the badly hit territory go unreported.

So far unti
l today, at least 16,000 deaths and over 40,000 injuries have been documented, with as many as 7,000 feared dead under the debris of destroyed homes.

The relentless Israeli genocide campaign has plunged Gaza into a humanitarian crisis, with rescue teams facing challenges in accessing affected areas due to the intensity of the attacks.
