On Monday, October 7th, 2024, day 367 of the Israeli aggression against the entire Palestinian civilian population of 2.2 million people in Gaza (one year after the assault began – the year was 366 days due to the leap year in 2024), Israeli forces continued their relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Update: 11:59 PM
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been issued ‘evacuation orders’ dropped from Israeli warplanes, both in northern Gaza and in southern Gaza. The ‘evacuation orders’ do not tell the Palestinians, already displaced multiple times, where they can safely go.
In a new escalation of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces targeted a house in Block 3 in Al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing 9 Palestinians and wounding 25 others.
A correspondent with the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that search and rescue operations are still ongoing to retrieve more victims from under the rubble .
Three Palestinians were killed, and others were injured after an Israeli bombardment of tents for displaced people in Al-Sikka Street in Al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip. They were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Mohammad Nayef al-Houm, age 14, was identified as one of those killed:
Furthermore, a Palestinian woman was killed, and several residents were injured when the army bombarded a mosque in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part.
Additionally, an infant girl was killed, and a woman was seriously injured after Israeli artillery bombed a house in the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
On the one year mark of the Israeli genocide against the people of Gaza, Al Jazeera released an investigation documenting Israeli war crimes over the past year:

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on Gaza from land, sea and air, which has so far resulted in the killing of at least 41,909 citizens and the injury of 97,303 others, including a large number of children and women. The numbers are expected to rise in light of the presence of thousands of missing people under the rubble, while rescue teams face enormous difficulties in reaching all affected areas.
The Israeli occupation attacks continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Strip, amid international calls for an immediate ceasefire and protection of innocent civilians.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,891 children, 11,458 women, 174 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 986 medical staff, and 203 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.

The Israeli aggression in northern and central Gaza has escalated significantly over the past two days, including another forced displacement of Palestinian refugees in Jabalia and Deir al-Balah.
According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, the Israeli occupation bombed 27 homes, schools and displacement centers in various governorates of the Gaza Strip during the past 48 hours.
In the early morning hours before dawn on Monday, three people were killed and many were injured on Monday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted homes in the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that three Palestinians were killed and others were injured, after the Israeli occupation warplanes bombed several houses in Block 1 in Al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli shelling targeted citizens’ homes west of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, which led to the injury of at least 7 Palestinians, coinciding with the Israeli occupation’s drones firing on several areas in the camp.
The Israeli occupation aircraft also bombed a house in the Saftawi area, northwest of Gaza City, which resulted in the injury of a number of Palestinians.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, announced that their fighters managed to blow up an Israeli Merkava 4 tank surrounded by a number of Israeli soldiers, and also targeted the soldiers with an anti-personnel shell east of Jabalia camp as they attempted to evacuate following the detonation of the tank. The Brigades also claimed to have sniped an Israeli soldier in Beit Hanoun.
Journalist Hassan Hamad was targeted and killed by Israeli forces at his home in Jabalia camp in North Gaza early this morning.
First, the Israeli authorities sent Hamad texts threatening him, and when he didn’t comply they killed him.
He received a WhatsApp message reading, “Listen, if you continue spreading lies about Israel, we’ll come for you next and turn your family into […] This is your last warning”. He also received several calls from an Israeli officer ordering him to stop filming in Gaza.
Funeral of those killed in the mosque in Deir al-Balah the previous day, when it was targeted by an Israeli airstrike (despite being known as a place of refuge for displaced Palestinians):
The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing of at least 41,870 Palestinians and the injury of 97,166 others, most of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,891 children, 11,458 women, 174 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 986 medical staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, Israel has killed 167 journalists and media workers, most of them in direct targeting, in a statistic that exceeds the number of journalists killed in world wars during the modern era.

The Syndicate indicates that since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has carried out the largest campaign of assassinations against journalists in the history of journalism worldwide.
Its missiles have destroyed the headquarters of media institutions, and the majority of Palestinian journalists and their families in the Gaza Strip have become displaced from their homes after the occupation destroyed them, and killed hundreds of their family members.
The Syndicate stated that from October 2023 to October 2024, 1,600 Israeli crimes and assaults were recorded against Palestinian journalists, while the occupation army abducted 124 journalists, and killed 514 family members of journalists.
Throughout the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian journalists have been the eyes and ears of the world regarding what is happening in the devastated coastal enclave after the Israeli army prevented foreign media from entering the region.
They worked to provide testimonies about war crimes committed against civilians and details of the famine, especially in northern Gaza.
