On Tuesday, the Israeli army continued the bombing and the shelling of various parts of the Gaza Strip, including medical centers and placement shelters, causing dozens of casualties, including fatalities.
The Israeli army fired barrages of missiles and shells at various parts of the Gaza Strip, especially residential blocks in central Gaza and Khan Younis, in the southern part of the coastal region.
Israeli missiles and artillery shells struck homes and buildings, especially in the western area of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, and various western parts of Khan Younis, in addition to an area east of Rafah, in the southern part of the coastal enclave.
In Gaza City, Israeli missiles killed more than twenty Palestinians and injured dozens in two homes for the Mdoukh and Al-Amari families in the Sabra neighborhood, south of the city.
In addition, many Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured when the army fired missiles at three homes in the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City.
The Israeli Airforce fired barrages of missiles at various areas of Gaza City, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including 26 members of the Hamada family, east of the city.
The Israeli army forced thousands of Palestinians, west of Gaza City, to leave and start walking towards Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza through Rashid Street after an entire night of bombing and shelling of their areas.
The Israeli army continued the siege of the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza where the Shifa Hospital is located, amidst extensive firing of tank shells.
Medical sources said the medics evacuated the corpses of three slain Palestinians and several wounded to the Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza after the army bombed homes in the Nusseirat refugee camp.
The Khan Younis bombings targeted several centers where hundreds of families sheltered in Khan Younis and areas close to the Al-Amal Hospital, which remains surrounded and isolated by the soldiers.

The Israeli army also imposed a strict siege around Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, preventing ambulances from entering to leaving it.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it lost contact with its medics, Ahmad and Yousef, who rushed to help a little girl, Hind, 6, in Gaza City, “who remained trapped inside a vehicle fired upon by the occupation forces, resulting in the martyrdom of everyone inside (6 individuals). Hind remained for hours, pleading for our teams to reach her and evacuate her from the area surrounded by Israeli tanks,” and added: “We remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.”
💔As of now, contact is still lost with our colleagues who embarked yesterday on the mission to rescue Hind, the 6-year-old girl. ⭕We remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.
🙏Our prayers for their safety—Ahmed, Yousef, and little Hind… https://t.co/UjAHy31gb7— PRCS (@PalestineRCS) January 30, 2024
The Maan News Agency said the medics were hours later able to reach the girl, who survived while her father and her four brothers were killed, and she was alone with their dead bodies.
In related news, the Palestinians buried the corpses of 100 Palestinians, many of them severely decaying or mutilated, in a mass grave in Rafah city, after the army previously took them from several parts of the Gaza Strip, especially hospitals and graveyards, and were returned to the Palestinians from the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) Crossing with Gaza.
The WAFA News Agency quoted medical sources in Gaza stating that many of those corpses clearly showed signs of being cut open, and many were missing organs.
It is worth mentioning that, in November of 2023, the army took the corpses of 110 Palestinians from the Shifa Hospital and a mass grave in front of the emergency department, where the Palestinians were forced to burry the dead due to constant Israeli bombings and siege.
It is worth mentioning that, over the past 24 hours, Israeli missiles and shells killed at least 215 Palestinians and injured more than 300, many of whom are women and children.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the Israeli army has killed 26.637 Palestinians and injured more than 65.387, largely women and children, since October 7, 2023, in addition to more than 8.000 who remain buried under the rubble, or their corpses are on streets and lands across the Gaza Strip due to constant bombing and massive destruction of infrastructure.
