On Friday, Day 392 of the ongoing genocide, Israeli missiles and shells killed and injured dozens of Palestinians, including infants, children and women, in addition to scores who remain under the rubble, in various parts of the impoverished, devastated, besieged, and starved Gaza Strip.
Israeli warplanes launched several intense airstrikes on northern and central Gaza early Friday morning. Loud explosions were also heard, resulting from the demolition of residential buildings in Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza.
Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on several areas in northern Gaza, including at least two near the An-Nazla Club and Halima Sadiya School, in Jabalia, causing many casualties.
Additionally, artillery fire targeted the Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, while continuous gunfire was reported in the Al-Saftawi neighborhood in the northwest of the city, killing and wounding many Palestinians.
The Israeli navy also fired missiles at the western areas of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, resulting in numerous casualties.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that 47 Palestinians were killed, and dozens injured, most of them children and women, in Israeli airstrikes on Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat, and Zawaida, in central Gaza.
It said the bodies of 47 slain Palestinians were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, along with dozens of injuries, following Israeli airstrikes on several areas and homes in Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat, and Al-Zawaida, and added that the search is ongoing under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings.
The Israeli army initially fired missiles and shells at many homes, causing most of the casualties, and when Palestinians rushed to the bombarded homes to help evacuate the dead and the wounded, the Israeli soldiers fired missiles at them, inflicting more deaths and injuries, media sources confirmed.
Journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi published a video of himself carrying a slain newborn, Tamer Tamer Mohsen, who was less than a month old and was named after his father, Tamer, who was killed by Israeli missiles just a month earlier.
“These are the targets of the Israeli occupation. I am standing here in Al-Aqsa Hospital, surrounded by more than thirty slain Palestinians, civilians, and children… all killed by the occupation,” he said.
“The Israeli occupation is telling the world it is killing fighters, not civilians… meanwhile, these children are their targets. Imagine that these children are yours. Thank you, world… would you agree to have your children killed like this?” Al-Jafarawi stated.
Israel continues the bombing, disregarding the UN Security Council’s call for an immediate end to hostilities and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, condemned the Israeli forces’ attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital, the only hospital that remained operational in the northern Gaza Strip, as of Thursday morning.
In a post on his “X” account, Ghebreyesus denounced the attack carried out by the Israeli army on Kamal Adwan Hospital, which resulted in injuries to hospital staff.
He added that after the recent siege imposed by the Israeli army, the hospital is no longer providing its health services.
Ghebreyesus emphasized that the latest attack puts patients’ lives at great risk, describing the health situation in northern Gaza as “tragic,” and called on everyone to protect hospitals and fully comply with international humanitarian law.

On Thursday, Day 391 of the ongoing genocide, the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip resulted in the killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, the majority of whom are children and women.
The Israeli army resumed its plan to displace the remaining Palestinians in northern Gaza towards Gaza City or the southern and central areas.
This followed a two-day period of repositioning its forces towards the center of Jabalia refugee camp and the eastern and western parts of Beit Lahia, which house thousands of displaced people.
On Thursday morning, Israeli warplanes struck the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, igniting a fire in a storage room that held recently delivered medicines and medical supplies from the Health Organization.
