On Friday September 13th, 2024, day 343 of the ongoing Israeli assault on the entire population of the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces continued their airstrikes, drone strikes and artillery shelling on civilian areas, including killing whole families — as has been the case each day, documented on this and other Palestinian news websites. One of Friday’s airstrikes directly targeted a tent camp sheltering displaced Palestinians. At least 22 were killed in al-Nuseirat camp alone.
Update 11:50 pm:
Medical sources announced on Friday evening the recovery and transfer of 3 deceased Palestinians, who were killed by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets and shelling on the cities of Gaza and Rafah.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society paramedics said they transferred a Palestinian who had been killed and four wounded people to the Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, after an Israeli helicopter fired at them in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of the city.
Medical sources also confirmed that the bodies of two Palestinians (a man and his son) were pulled out of the “Zaghloul” area in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, and transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Strip.
Two civilians were killed and others injured in Israeli shelling on Khan Younis tonight.
The Palestinian Civil Defense confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces targeted a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Attar area of Khan Yunis, which led to the death of a number of Palestinians and the injury of others.

The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the killing of at least 41,118 Palestinians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 95,125 others, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,589 children, 11,207 women, 183 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 211 UNRWA staff.
Most experts estimate the death toll is much higher – and could be as high as 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began October 7th 2023 when 1100 Israelis were killed, including 700 civilians, inside Israel. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon
12:00 PM Update Friday September 13th:
Six Palestinians were killed and many others injured Friday morning, in the Israeli shelling of the central and southern Gaza Strip.
A correspondent with the Wafa news agency reported that five Palestinian bodies were recovered as a result of Israeli artillery shelling that targeted the home of the Bardawil family in the Mawasi area of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip. The five were transferred to Nasser Hospital in the neighboring city of Khan Younis.
The reporter added that a Palestinian was killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombardment that targeted the Aql family home on Street 20 in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. They were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.
Also Friday, several Lebanese and international press freedom and human rights organisations signed a letter calling for the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel to investigate and help provide accountability for Israel’s murder of Reuters photographer Issam Abdallah in south Lebanon.
Abdallah was killed on 13 October, 2023 by Israeli forces while covering the cross-border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. Several Reuters, AFP and Al Jazeera journalists were also injured in the attack.
