On Sunday, day 177 of Israel’s assault on Gaza, dozens of Palestinians were killed and wounded by a blitz of Israeli airstrikes on different parts of the Gaza Strip.
In Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, Israeli forces dropped a bomb on a tent sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinians and journalists at the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound in central Gaza. The following video captures the moment of impact, with people fleeing for their lives.
In al-Shati camp, west of Gaza City near the coast, two civilians were killed and others were injured on Sunday as a result of Israeli shelling. According to local sources, citizens were killed and about 10 others were wounded in shelling targeting citizens in the beach camp.
Israeli warplanes also bombed a residential building on Al-Nasr Street, west of Gaza City. Israeli artillery targeted areas east of Al-Bureij refugee camp, north of Wadi Al-Gaza Bridge, Juhr Al-Dik area, east of Al-Zaytoun neighborhood and east of Gaza City.
Israeli bombardment targeted the Abu Oun family home, which resulted in the death of 4 family members in the Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip. A video by Al Jazeera showed the efforts of civil defense crews and volunteers digging rubble with their hands and simple tools to remove the wounded and bodies.
A witness from Abu Oun’s family said that this was the second time that Israeli warplanes had targeted the house with shelling, which was so violent that it directly affected the neighbors’ homes.
This is an update from the earlier report from 11:14 am Sunday:
At least three Palestinians were killed, and many were injured, while other remain under the rubble, after the army fired a missile at a home in the center of the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, in central Gaza.
The Israeli Air Force also fired many missiles in consecutive attacks targeting all southern parts of Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, causing many casualties.
In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the army fired many artillery shells and missiles, while navy shops fired barrages of live rounds, before the Israeli tanks invaded the Al-Matahen and Al-Burka areas, and the outskirts of Mawasi Al-Qarara coastal area.
The army also fired many missiles at homes and buildings in the western areas of Khan Younis. 11 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Dozens of wounded Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah remain without the needed specialty treatment, as most of the wounded were shot by Israeli army sharpshooters or injured in Israeli bombings, resulting in serious interior and exterior injuries, but the hospitals cannot cope with the exceedingly increasing numbers of injuries and deaths, especially amidst the constant Israeli siege and the deliberate targeting of medical facilities.
In Rafah, in the southern Gaza, Israeli navy shops fired dozens live rounds at areas across the coastal areas.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army started using quadcopters to drop flammable materials on Palestinian bulldozers used in removing the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the army committed eight massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip, and added that 82 of the slain Palestinian and 98 of injured, were moved to hospitals over the last 24 hours, in addition to dozens who remain stranded and buried under the rubble.
Video has emerged of Israeli troops executing innocent civilians at al-Shifa Hospital over the past two w
eeks of siege.
Euro-Med Human Rights monitor has documented a number of children killed by Israeli forces during the
ongoing siege and assault on the hospital by Israeli forces, who have occupied it for the past two weeks and have tortured patients, staff and civilians sheltering at the hospital.
Israel has now killed at least 32.705 Palestinians, and injured more than 75.190, mostly women, children, and elderly, in addition to the thousands who remain missing, mostly buried under the rubble of bombarded buildings in various parts of the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
