On Thursday, day 356 of the ongoing genocide by Israeli forces against the besieged and devastated Palestinian population of 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells continued to rain down on the people of Gaza.
A number of Palestinians were killed and others were injured, on Thursday morning, in the ongoing Israeli shelling of various parts of the Gaza Strip.
A correspondent with the Wafa news agency reported that the body of one killed and a number of wounded were recovered after the occupation aircraft bombed the home of the Kallab family in the center of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip. They were transferred to Nasser Medical Complex in the city.
The Israeli occupation aircraft also bombed the house of the Al-Matari family in the Customs Police area east of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the killing of three Palestinians and the injury of others, according to medical sources, in addition to a number of missing persons under the rubble.
Ambulance and rescue crews recovered the body of a killed Palestinian and 9 injured Palestinians as a result of the Israeli occupation aircraft targeting a house in Al-Yafawiya Street in Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip. A number of citizens were also injured in the occupation’s bombing of the Al-Sahhar family’s house in Jabalia town, and they were all transferred to the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital in the camp.

Israel sent a truck filled with the decomposed bodies of nearly 90 Palestinians to Gaza on Wednesday, which the territory’s health ministry refused to bury, citing Israel’s failure to discloses details about who they are and where they were killed.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health, which has worked tirelessly to treat wounded Palestinians and get humanitarian assistance into the enclave, said in a statement that it was refusing to accept the latest arrivals after the Israeli military sent them without providing “their names, ages, genders, or the areas in which they were killed and kidnapped”.
Iyad Qadeeh, a media official at the Ministry of Health, said that Wednesday’s arrival was the fifth time that authorities had received a truck load of unidentified corpses.

The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, resulting in the killing of 42,183 citizens and the injury of 96,006 others, most of whom are children and women, while thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,640 children, 11,410 women, 183 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 211 UNRWA staff.
The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher – and could be above 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.
This most recent escalation of Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine began October 7th 2023 when 1,143 Israelis were killed, including 767 civilians and 376 armed soldiers. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
