On Monday, Day 178 of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continued the bombing of various parts of the devastated Gaza Strip, killing dozens, including international aid workers, and wounding hundreds.
Medical sources said five Palestinians were killed and many were injured when the army fired missiles at Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.
The sources added that the army killed an entire aid team of the “World Central Kitchen” after firing a missile at their car in Deir Al-Balah.
The Health Ministry said that among the slain persons are a British national a Polish national and an Australian; the Palestinian driver was also killed in the attack. One of the slain persons is yet to be identified
The slain aid workers were in a clearly marked fortified vehicle, carrying international symbols and easily distinguishable from other cars.
The Government Media Office in Gaza said the attack on the easily distinguishable humanitarian vehicle and the killing of international humanitarian workers is another proof of Israel’s atrocities and crimes against humanity.
It added that Israel is targeting everybody and everything in the Gaza Strip, destroying all aspects of life, bombing and burning places of worship, educational facilities, hospitals, and medical centers, and ensuring the destruction of the coastal enclave.
“Israel is sending a clear message to the world that it is ongoing with the genocide in Gaza,” the Media Office said, “A message that it is targeting and will continue to target aid workers, and all international humanitarian efforts.”
The army also fired a missile at the Al-Bashir Mosque in Deir Al-Balah, killing a child and wounding twenty Palestinians.
Furthermore, the army fired many artillery shells at the Al-Mighraqa and Wadi Gaza areas, north of the Nusseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.
In addition, four Palestinians were killed and sixteen were injured after the army fired a missile at a tent in Al-Aqsa Hospital’s yard, in Deir Al-Balah.
The incident took place shortly after the army killed four Palestinians and injured sixteen, including journalists, after targeting tents for displaced Palestinians near the medical facility.
The Israeli army withdrew from Shifa Medical Center in Gaza, after 14 days of siege and bombings, and redeployed its soldiers in its vicinity.
Medical sources said hundreds of corpses were found near the medical center and around it, and added that the army bombarded and burnt various buildings and branches of the medical center, forcing it to shut down due to the irreparable damage, especially amidst the ongoing onslaught and the siege on the coastal region.

The army also killed and injured many Palestinians in bombings targeting northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia, and Sheikh Zayed.
In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the army fired shells at many Palestinians near Sheikh Nasser Junction, in the center of the city, killing at least four and wounding many.
The army also fired a missile at land near tents for displaced Palestinians near the Al-Aqsa University in Khan Younis.
In Rafah, in Gaza Strip’s southernmost part, the army fired missiles at an area, east of the city, killing five Palestinians and wounding dozens.
Among the slain Palestinians are two children in a house the army bombed in the western part of Rafah.
On its part, the Israeli army said one soldier was killed in southern Gaza, bringing the number of soldiers, killed since October 7, 2023, to 600.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army “committed six massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, killing at least 63 Palestinians and wounding more than 94, mostly children and women.”
Israeli missiles also killed a Palestinian journalist, Mohammad Abu Soheil, bringing the number of slain journalists to 138 since October 7.
Israel has now killed at least 32.845 Palestinians, and injured more than 75.392, mostly children, women, and elders, in addition to the thousands who remain missing, largely buried under the rubble, in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
