On Saturday, Day 155 of Israel’s onslaught on the civilians in Gaza, the Israeli army continued its bombing and shells of civilians in various parts of the devastated and destroyed Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, while many more continue to die from famine, dehydration, and the lack of basic medical supplies.
In Gaza City, at least two Palestinians were killed and seven injured, when the army fired artillery shells at homes in the Shati’ refugee camp, west of the city.
In the Nusseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, the army killed more than thirteen Palestinians, and injured dozens, after firing a missile at a home for the Noweiri family, in the refugee camp’s western area.
In the Al-Qarara area, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, Israeli war jets fired missiles at homes and buildings, killing at least three Palestinians and wounding many others.
The Israeli army also wired and detonated residential buildings in Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis.
On Saturday evening, a number of Palestinians were killed and others were injured, after the occupation warplanes bombed the Al-Qarara area, east of Khan Younis.
Medical sources announced that 3 citizens were killed and a number of others were injured, after the occupation aircraft targeted a house in the Al-Qarara area, east of Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
The occupation army also destroyed several residential buildings in Hamad Town, northwest of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
In addition, the army killed at least two Palestinians and injured dozens of Palestinians, mostly children, after firing missiles and shells at the Al-Qar’an area, west of Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza.
Eight Palestinians were killed, and many were injured, including children, when the army bombarded the Al-Fakhouri area in Khan Younis.
Over 150 days have passed since the start of Israel’s aggression on the Gaza Strip in October.

In northern Gaza, medical sources confirmed the death of a young woman, 25, and three children, including a newborn at the Shifa Medical Center and Kamal Adwan Hospital, due to dehydration and malnutrition, bringing the officially known number of Palestinians who died to similar conditions to at least 25.
On its part, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said Israel’s missiles killed three additional Israeli captives, bringing the number of Israelis killed by the army to seven last week.
The statement came in a video with the names of all seven Israeli captives, killed by Israel missiles last week, after identifying four of the previously unidentified Israelis, and added in English, Arabic, and Hebron video message: “We tried to keep them alive, but Netanyahu insisted on killing them.”
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is very dire and becoming worse each day due to the constant Israeli bombing, the siege, and the very limited number of aid trucks allowed into the coastal enclave.
Israel is also obstructing humanitarian aid from reaching all areas in northern Gaza, while the amount of aid entering southern Gaza is very limited, especially when compared to the more than 1.3 million, largely who fled from areas in northern Gaza, and now are trying to seek shelter in the southern parts, especially in Rafah.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said malnutrition among children in northern Gaza is three times higher than in southern Gaza, and the cases are alarmingly increasing.
WHO added that one in every six children below the age of two in Gaza is suffering severe malnutrition, adding that these figures were from January, which means that they are much worse today due to the constant Israeli bombing and the massive destruction every single day.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army “committed ten massacres against Palestinian families in the coastal region, killing 82 and wounding 122, mostly children and women.”
On Friday, March 8 which also marks International Women’s Day, the Health Ministry in Gaza said Israel killed at least 9.000 women, since October 7, including pregnant women and medical staff.
It added that the “International Community is disregarding the basic rights of Palestinian women, including mothers, and is silent while Israel, supported by the United States and some European countries, continues to obliterate entire families in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Palestinian Center For Human Rights (PRCS) said the United States and some European Countries have granted Israel immunity to commit war crimes, especially with the absence of mechanisms that would compel it to abide by International Law.
The PCHR added that the Israeli army is intensifying its aerial, maritime, and ground attacks on the devastated Gaza Strip in its offensive that is approaching six months, while the Palestinians face unprecedented human suffering and dire conditions as they prepare to welcome the month of Ramadan.
It also said that about %90 of the Gaza population is now displaced and that the civilians are being crushed under the rubble of their bombarded homes while Israel continued to prevent the flow of international humanitarian aid, an issue that left Gazans to face famine and diseases, especially in northern Gaza.
Israel has now killed at least 30.960 Palestinians and injured more than 72.524, about %72 of them women and children, in addition to the thousands of missing Palestinians, largely buried under the rubble, in several parts of the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
