On Thursday evening, four Palestinians were killed, and many were injured, some seriously, when the army bombarded a school sheltering families in the Nasr neighborhood, in Gaza City.

Numerous casualties were reported when the Israeli army fired missiles at an apartment in a residential building on Nafaq Street in Gaza City.
Casualties were also reported in the Israeli bombing and shelling of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
Medical sources said children and women were among the slain and wounded Palestinians, adding that they were among dozens of families that sheltered in the Salahuddin School in the neighborhood.
“You are witnessing a population that is being slowly exterminated.”

Many casualties were also reported from ongoing bombing and shelling of various parts of the coastal enclave, especially in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun.
The Israeli army has escalated its attacks on residential zones, particularly targeting buildings in both eastern and western Jabalia, resulting in numerous casualties.

The army also bombarded the Jabalia refugee camp, killing many Palestinians, including two young sisters, Amira and Eileen Walid Al-Raba’ya, who were among many children and women killed by Israeli missiles.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army also abducted dozens of Palestinians from the Jabalia refugee camp and took them to unknown locations.
In central Gaza, at least four Palestinians, including children, were killed and many injured when the army fired a missile at a tent housing displaced families in Al-Bureij refugee camp.
The continued Israeli siege and relentless destruction imposed by the occupation have exacerbated the hardships faced by Gaza’s residents, who are deprived of necessities.
Humanitarian organizations have raised alarms about the deteriorating health situation, highlighting the critical shortages of medical facilities, essential medicines, and supplies.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the Israeli army committed three massacres of families in the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, among them 27 slain residents and 112 who were moved to medical centers, while many remain under the rubble.
Challenging the United Nations and all reports by human rights groups in the field, and the documented massacres and obliteration of entire families, the United States said it “did not observe war crimes or crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.”

The US claimed that the UN reports regarding genocide in Gaza are only “accusations without proof,” but also stressed the important humanitarian role UNRWA plays in delivering food and medical aid to the Palestinians.
The statements came after the United Nations Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices stated that “Israel’s war on Gaza conforms to the characteristics of genocide with the large number of victims and the life-threatening conditions deliberately imposed on the Palestinians there.”
The preliminary death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has reached 43,736 killed and 103,370 wounded.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 17,385 children, 11,891 women, 2,421 elderly people, 183 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 1,054 medical staff, 496 education staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
Reports also indicate that there are thousands of victims who are still trapped under the rubble or in the streets, where it is impossible to reach them due to the ongoing bombing.
