On Thursday dawn, Day 328 of the ongoing genocide, Israeli missiles, and shells killed and injured dozens of Palestinians, including children and women, in various parts of the devastated, destroyed, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip.
A girl was killed and many Palestinians were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, coinciding with artillery shelling and gunfire from military vehicles and drones in areas northwest of Nuseirat and northeast of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
Medical sources said two Palestinian children and one woman were killed in the shelling of two houses in Nuseirat refugee camp and Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
They also confirmed that ambulance and civil defense crews recovered the corpses of two children as a result of the army’s targeting of a house in Nuseirat, while the body of a woman was recovered after the army bombed a house in Deir al-Balah.
Israeli soldiers continued their shelling on Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah, and on Gaza City, resulting in many casualties, including slain Palestinians who remain under the rubble.
Five citizens were injured in an airstrike on a house belonging to the Al-Jedi family on Al-Eshreen Street, east of Nuseirat camp, and were taken to Al-Awda Hospital.
In addition, rescue teams retrieved the bodies of four Palestinians following an airstrike on the Al-Oribi area north of Rafah city in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip, while the army continued to wire and detonate homes and buildings.
Also, Israeli war jets carried out a series of airstrikes on the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, resulting in the death and injury of several citizens.
In addition, one Palestinian was killed and many were injured when the army fired a missile at a home near the Al-Amal Hotel, west of Gaza City.

One citizen was killed and others injured in an airstrike near Bani Suheila roundabout in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, and another citizen was killed and many others injured in artillery shelling targeting the entrance of Khuza’a town, and Abasan Al-Kabira town, east of Khan Younis.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that 212 UN employees have been killed in the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since last October.
In a statement, the Relief Agency said that UN institutions have been subjected to approximately 464 attacks since the start of the Israeli aggression, despite housing more than one and a half million displaced people. This has led to the killing of more than 563 Palestinians and the injury of about 1,790 others.
The UNRWA added that 600,000 children have no schools to attend due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, destruction, and displacement, and highlighted that the health and humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip are catastrophic, with the spread of diseases and infectious epidemics among the displaced Palestinians.
Israel has now killed at least 40,534 Palestinians, including more than16,589 children and 11,207 women, and injured more than 93,778, largely children and women, in addition to the thousands (about 10,000, including 4,700 children and women,) who remain under the rubble, on destroyed streets in bombarded alleys in various parts of the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
