On Wednesday dawn, Day 117 of Israel’s war on the Palestinians in the devastated and destroyed Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells killed dozens and injured hundreds in several parts of the coastal enclave.
Media sources said at least six Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured when the army fired many missiles and shells at homes and buildings in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli military helicopters and armed drones fired dozens of live rounds at Palestinians, fleeing their homes and areas in the central and western parts of Khan Younis city.
Also, the army killed a Palestinian, a security guard at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Khan Younis, after firing live rounds at him while standing near the back door of its building.
In addition, dozens of Palestinians were killed, and many more were injured when the army fired missiles at homes east of Gaza City and northwest of the city.
The Israeli missiles and shells also struck dozens of homes and buildings in various parts of Gaza City, especially in Zeitoun and Remal areas, while Palestinian ambulances remain unable to enter the bombarded areas.
In Remal, the armored Israeli bulldozers also destroyed Shuhada Street while the army pushed more thanks into the area and fired artillery shells around it.

The army also fired many artillery shells in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, including shells and missiles that struck the Al-Awda hospital in Tal Az-Za’tar neighborhood.
In central Gaza, the army fired shells and missiles at homes and buildings around the Da’wa mosque in the Nusseirat refugee camp, in addition to a home in the Al-Berka area in Deir Al-Balah, killing dozens of Palestinians, including many children, and wounding many more.
In addition, the army fired many missiles and shells in the center of Khan Younis and all areas around Nasser Hospital in the city, the Namsawi neighborhood, west of the city, and an entire residential block in the center of the city, causing dozens of casualties.
At least four Palestinians were killed, and many were injured by Israeli missiles that struck Hamad City in Khan Younis. Another Palestinian was killed in the western part of the city near the surrounded and isolated Nasser Medical Center.
Dozens of Israeli missiles and shells were fired into a number of areas and cities in Khan Younis, including Al-Qarara, leading to dozens of casualties, including many fatalities.
Israel has now killed more than 26.751 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured at least 65.949 in several parts of the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023
Dr. Ashraf Al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry in Gaza, said the declared number of slain Palestinians is only for those who have been officially confirmed and documented.
Al-Qedra added that thousands of Palestinians remain missing, largely buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, and those who were killed in various areas, and the medics have been unable to reach them due to constant bombings and siege, and stated that the number is much more than the previously estimated 8.000 persons.
