On Wednesday, Day 348 of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the besieged, starved, and destroyed Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continued bombing and shelling various parts of the coastal enclave, killing and wounding many Palestinians.
Update: Medical sources in Gaza City reported that at least five Palestinians were killed and several others were injured with varying degrees of severity, after the army bombarded a house on Thalathini Street, south of the city.
The sources added that eight Palestinians were killed and many were injured, including children and women, when the Israeli army bombarded a school where families were sheltered in the Sheja’eyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Five Palestinians, including two women and a girl, were killed and many were injured when the army fired a missile at a home in the Al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7 to 41,272, most of whom are children and women, while the number of injuries has reached 95,551, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,640 children, 11,410 women, 183 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 211 UNRWA staff.
Most experts, including The Lancet British Medical Journal, estimate the death toll is much higher – and could be as high as 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began October 7th 2023 when 1100 Israelis were killed, including 700 civilians, inside Israel. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
11:22 am report:
Media sources reported that the army continued to target homes, buildings, shelters, and medical facilities across the coastal enclave.
Medical sources confirmed that medics and rescue teams located the corpses of five Palestinians under the rubble of a home bombarded by the army in the Khirbat Al-Adas area, north of Rafah, in Gaza’s southernmost part.
The army wired and detonated many homes, while tanks fired shells at several houses and buildings in various areas of Rafah.
Additionally, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a Palestinian physician, Dr. Ziad Dalo, who Israeli soldiers abducted from the Shifa Medical Center on March 18 of this year, has died in an Israeli detention and interrogation facility.
In Gaza City, the army fired live rounds at displaced Palestinians around the Kuwait Junction, east of Gaza City, just hours after firing at the same area, killing at least two Palestinians.
The army also fired many missiles at homes and buildings east of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
In northern Gaza, the army fired missiles, shells, and barrages of live rounds at lands and homes in several parts of the Jabalia refugee camp, in addition to bombing lands and buildings to the east of the refugee camp.
In central Gaza, the army wired and detonated many homes and buildings in the Zahra’ area, north of the Nusseirat refugee camp.
Medical sources confirmed that five Palestinians, including a journalist, Mohammad Abu Shouqa, were found under the rubble of a bombarded home east of the Al-Boreij refugee camp in central Gaza.
On its part, the Israeli army announced the death of four of its soldiers, including an officer and a female soldier, in a building explosion in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah.
The army added that five soldiers were injured, three seriously, in the same incident, bringing the number of soldiers killed since October 7, 2023, to 714.
The Palestinian Health Ministry stated that the army “committed three massacres in the Gaza Strip,” killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, among them 26 slain residents and 84 injured, including many children and women.
Israel has now killed at least 41,252 Palestinians, including more than 16,673 children and 11,269 women, and injured more than 95,497, largely children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 183 journalists, 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 211 UNRWA staff.
Most experts estimate the death toll is much higher and could be as high as 200,000 when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, when 1,100 Israelis were killed, including 700 civilians, inside Israel.
