GAZA: Israeli occupation forces Wednesday evening shelled a house in Gaza City, killing a child and injuring two people and bringing the death toll in the Strip since dawn Wednesday to 90, including children and women, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
The PRCS announced that a child was killed and two other civilians were injured when the occupation forces shelled a house of the Al-Helou family, near the Palestine Bank in the Tel Al-Hawa neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza City.
It added that the fatality along with the casualties were transferred to the Arab Baptist Hospital in the city.
Earlier today, 10 civilians were killed and 27 others were injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Nuseirat and Al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Strip.
Three civilians were also killed in raid on the destroyed town of Khuza’a, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Strip.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces committed a new massacre in Khan Younis, killing over 40 civilians, mostly women and children,
and injuring dozens.
Medical sources reported that medical crews retrieved the bodies of fatalities from the rubble following intensive air strikes that targeted the southeastern areas of Khan Younis, including the neighbourhoods of Maan, Qizan al-Najjar, and al-Manara.
In the morning hours today, nine civilians were killed and about 20 others were injured in Israeli aerial bombardment of a school and an orphanage housing displaced people in Gaza City.
Local sources said that the occupation aircrafts bombed the Muscat School, which housed displaced people in the al-Zarqa area of the al-Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City, killing three civilians and injuring 17 others.
Six more civilians were also killed and others were injured when the occupation forces bombed the Al-Amal Orphanage, which houses displaced people west of Gaza City.
Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally bind
ing decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 41,689 Palestinians and injuring 96,625 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over 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.
