The Israeli occupation army committed 4 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of 42 citizens and the injury of 63 others, during the past 24 hours.
According to medical sources, the toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 34,012 killed and 76,833 injuries since the start of the aggression against our people on October 7.
A correspondent with the Palestinian Wafa news agency said that 8 people, most of them children and women, were killed in the Israeli occupation warplane’s bombing of a house in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah. Others remain under rubble, and that casualty number is expected to rise as emergency crews try to pull out the remaining bodies.
This follows a bombing earlier Friday evening in which the Israeli occupation warplanes bombed a house near the eastern cemetery in Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, killing Rana Walid Al-Riyati and wounding a number of others.
The Israeli occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Arja family in Rafah, and targeted another house in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, while artillery continued its shelling of the eastern areas.
Meanwhile, the Government Media Office in Gaza has warned that a water crisis has reached its peak as temperatures rise and water consumption increases.
According to the statement, all of the city’s water wells stopped functioning two weeks ago due to a lack of fuel. Israel has banned fuel from entering the Strip since imposing a total blockade over six months ago. The office also stated that Gaza City’s only desalination plant, along with more than 40 water wells and the city’s water networks, have been destroyed.
