On Sunday, day 359 of Israel’s ongoing, continuous assault on the entire population of the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces continued dropping bombs on civilians, as well as wiring and detonating buildings in Gaza City. With no fuel left in northern Gaza, the casualties were carried to the hospital on stretchers by men walking on foot, since the ambulances are unable to function.
In Gaza City, three Palestinians were killed and two injured, when the army fired a missile at an apartment near the Sha’biyya Junction, in the center of the city.
Several Palestinians were also killed and injured when the army fired a missile at a home near Salahuddin Street, west of Gaza City.
Furthermore, the army wired and detonated several residential buildings in the southern neighborhoods of Gaza City, and fired barrages of live rounds in the area.
In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, several Palestinian was killed and many were injured, including children, when the army fired a missile at a home for the Abu Nasr family, in the Al-Alami area, in Jabalia refugee camp, in Jabalia in northern Gaza.
Medics and rescue teams evacuated the slain and wounded Palestinians by carrying them on stretchers to Kamal Adwan Hospital as ambulances had no fuel. At the time of this report, the search continues under the rubble.
In addition, the army fired missiles at homes and buildings in Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, causing casualties.
A young man was killed after being targeted by an occupation drone in the middle of the Nuseirat camp.
Israeli gunboats also fired shells at citizens’ homes in Al-Shati camp, west of Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Israelis marched in Jerusalem to call for a ceasefire, an end to Israel’s aggression in Gaza and now expanding to Lebanon and Syria:

The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip, since the beginning of the aggression on October 7 of last year, has risen to 41,586, the majority of whom are children and women, while the number of injuries has reached 96,210, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
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.
The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher – and could be above 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.
This most recent escalation of Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine began October 7th 2023 when 1,143 Israelis were killed, including 767 civilians and 376 armed soldiers. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
