Scores of civilians were killed and others injured tonight in the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a house in the al-Qasaseeb neighborhood, in the northern Gaza Strip, killing three civilians and injuring others. Three sisters were reportedly killed and other members of the family were wounded in an Israeli shelling that targeted their home.

Israeli warplanes also shelled the al-Falah school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), in the Zeitoun neighborhood to the south of Gaza City, which shelters displaced people, killing and wounding many civilians.

In the meantime, the Indonesian hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, in the north, announced that since the early hours of this morning, the bodies of 120 civilians have been brought to the hospital from the province of Gaza and the North.

The occupation also launched intensive raids on the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City, and the vicinity of the Sheikh Zay
ed residential towers in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahia, killing and injuring a number of people.

Eyewitnesses reported that dozens of bodies are still scattered on the ground in the Sabra neighborhood as rescue and ambulance crews face difficulty in reaching the area to evacuate the casualties.

Israeli airstrikes also bombed the al-Baraka area in the city of Deir al-Balah, in the central Strip.

In the meantime, the Israeli occupation forces continued their siege of Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its raids into its departments and wards, amidst fuel shortages, power cuts, and shortages of medical supplies, food, and safe drinking water.

Twenty-four patients and injured have died in the past two days at Al Shifa Hospital as a result of the power cut and failure to perform surgical operations after life-saving and medical equipment stopped working. Forces further prevented the access of the medical staff to the Central Pharmacy in the medical complex.
