On Tuesday, Day 326 of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians in the destroyed Gaza Strip, the Israeli army killed and injured dozens of Palestinians across the coastal enclave and displaced, yet again, dozens of families, in central Gaza.
A Palestinian woman was killed and four residents were injured when the army fired a missile at a home in the Baten As-Sameen area in the center of Khan Younis, in Gaza’s southern part.
Furthermore, the army fired live rounds at an area where displaced families tried to shelter in the Asda’ City, west of Khan Younis, killing one Palestinian.
The army also fired barrages of artillery shells at Abasan town, east of Khan Younis, and the Al-Mahatta neighborhood, north of the city, in addition to wiring and detonating many homes in the Sater area.
The Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza said its emergency responders headed to a bombarded home near the Salam Mosque in Khan Younis but had to withdraw after the Israeli army fired shells in their direction.
It added that an unknown number of slain Palestinians remain buried under the rubble of the bombarded homes.
In the Al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza, a Palestinian father and his son were killed and many residents were injured when the army fired a missile at the family’s home.

At least four Palestinians were killed and many were injured after the army bombarded a home in the Abu Arif area in Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza.
In the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, the army killed six Palestinians of the Thabet family after firing a missile at their homes.
Al-Jazeera correspondent, Tareq Abu Azzoum, who was reporting from Deir Al-Balah, said the Israel evacuation orders are “making families desperate, as they look for somewhere to sleep. Soon, they’ll have another challenge: getting water.”
Al-Jazeera added that %70 of water desalination plants and water wells in the Gaza Strip are inside the evacuated areas due to Israeli orders and missiles, many Palestinians are now considering returning to those areas to get water despite the serious risk of getting killed by the army.

On its part, the United Nations said it had to pause its humanitarian operations in Gaza after Israel issued the mass evacuation of Deir Al-Balah, where the UN had based its operations after the Israeli army forced it to relocate from Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part after when the military began the ground invasion and offensive there.
Israel has now killed at least 40,476 Palestinians, including 17.000 children and more than 11.000 women, and injured more than 93,647, largely children, women, and elderly, in addition to the thousands (about 10.000, including 4.700 children and women,) who remain under the rubble, in destroyed alleys, and on bombarded streets, across the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
