On Thursday, Day 195 of the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people in the destroyed Gaza Strip, the army continued the bombing of various parts of the coastal enclave, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including women and children.
The Israeli army continued to target displaced families in central and southern Gaza, especially after firing artillery shells at many families in Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part.
Palestinian fighters continued to target invading Israeli tanks and armored vehicles and exchanged fire with Israeli soldiers invading central Gaza, especially around Deir Al-Balah and Deir Al-Balah refugee camp, while the army withdrew some of its tanks and armored vehicles from the northern area of Nusseirat refugee camp, in addition to Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in northern Gaza.
The Israeli Air Force continued to fire missiles at various parts of northern Gaza, especially in Beit Lahia.
Medical sources said the Israeli army fired a missile at a home where families sheltered, in the Shati’ refugee camp, west of Gaza City, killing at least four, and wounding dozens.
Another Palestinian was killed and several were injured in a bombing in the Shati refugee camp and were moved to the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.
The sources added that the army also fired a missile at a home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, killing three Palestinians, and wounding many others, in addition to burying fifteen under the rubble.
The slain and the wounded were moved to the Baptist Hospital, while rescue teams continued to look under the rubble for victims.
Furthermore, the army fired many missiles and shells at the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City, in addition to many artillery shells at the eastern areas of Zeitoun neighborhood and Sheja’eyya, east of the city, causing many casualties.
Furthermore, Civil Defense teams located the corpses of two Palestinians under the rubble of a home the army bombed in the new camp in Nusseirat in central Gaza and moved them to the Al-Awda Hospital.
Charles Birch, an explosives removal expert at the U.N. Mine Action Service (UNMAS), said the Gaza Strip is filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of unexploded ordnance, including high-tech munitions supplied by the United States to Israel, and added that “the contamination will be unbelievable, like something from World War II,” the Quds News Network said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army committed 7 massacres against families in the last 24 hours, killing 71 and wounding 106, mostly women and children.
The Health Ministry added that the Shifa Hospital in Gaza has been seriously damaged and rendered out of service and that the Israeli army continues to target hospitals and medical centers across the Gaza Strip, especially in and around Gaza City and the northern parts of the coastal enclave, leading the Palestinians in Gaza and the northern areas without medical services.
It also said that the Gaza Strip urgently needs field hospitals that include surgery, intensive care, laboratories, and diagnostics services, to accommodate the large numbers of patients and wounded Palestinians, especially in Gaza and the northern areas.
Israel has now killed at least 33.970 Palestinians, mostly women, and children, and injured more than 76.770, in addition to the thousands of Palestinians who remain under the rubble, on streets, and in alleys in the destroyed Gaza Strip.
