In Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip’s southern part, the army fired shells at a tent of a displaced family in the Tahliya area, killing at least two and wounding many others.
Additionally, the army fired a missile at a Palestinian home near the clinic in the center of Gaza City, killing eight Palestinians, wounding many, and burying others under the rubble.
Four Palestinians were also killed and many injured when the army fired a missile at a home near the Al-Mashtal Hotel, northwest of Gaza City.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, the army fired shells, killing at least two Palestinians and causing several injuries.
In related news, Israeli navy ships fired many shells at areas near the shore of Nuseirat, where displaced families sheltered in tents.
Four Palestinians were killed, and many injured, when the Israeli army fired a missile at a home in the Al-Manshiyya neighborhood in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.
In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, the army fired many artillery shells at various parts of the city and the refugee camp, causing many casualties.
The bombing in Jabalia is part of the ongoing Israeli onslaught in northern Gaza, which escalated on October 5, resulting in the killing of more than 1,800 Palestinians, including entire families, and injuring more than 8.000.
The Israeli army destroyed and targeted of all hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, rendering them out of service, in addition to targeting civil defense teams, abducting many of them and removing them from service as well, in addition to destroying infrastructure, water networks, sewage networks, road networks, and streets.
“The onslaught on northern Gaza extended beyond just physical attacks, involving crimes against humanity. The Israeli army employed tactics of starvation and dehydration against civilians by blocking 3,800 aid and goods trucks from entering northern Gaza,” the Government Media office said, “This deliberate act has left nearly 400,000 people, including over 100,000 children, without food, water, medicine, and baby formula.”
“These individuals were met with death through various means, such as fighter jets, quadcopters, snipers, field executions, tank and vehicle ramming, and planting explosive barrels,” the Media Office added, “This resulted in the destruction of homes, mosques, institutions, residential neighborhoods, and hospitals.”
The army also targeted and destroyed numerous displacement and shelter centers that housed tens of thousands of people who fled their homes in search of safety.
Furthermore, the army targeted markets filled with families, including children, leading to hundreds of casualties, while humanitarian services have been completely halted, with medical teams deprived of food, abducted, and tortured, and even the polio vaccination campaign has been blocked from entering northern Gaza.
On Thursday evening, the army killed dozens of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, among them 27, including children and women, and injured many more, in a house in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
The United Nations issued, Thursday, a stark warning about the dire situation in northern Gaza. Joyce Msuya, the acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, stated that the entire population of northern Gaza is at risk of dying due to the ongoing bombing and siege.
The UN has called for an immediate stop to what they describe as a “blatant disregard for basic humanity” by Israeli forces.
Msuya emphasized that the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with severe impacts on healthcare, food, and shelter.
The UN’s humanitarian official has stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire to protect the lives of civilians trapped in the conflict.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that the Israeli army ordered all Palestinians in northern Gaza and all parts of Gaza City to leave.
OCHA reiterated the call for ensuring protection for the civilians in northern Gaza and all parts of the coastal enclave.
Israeli forces have continued their attacks by land, sea, and air on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 43,469 Palestinians, including more than 17,289 children, 11,815 women, 183 journalists, 496 education staff, 203 UNRWA staff, and 85 Civil Defense medics, and injuries to 102,561, the majority of whom are children, women, and elders.
Thousands of victims remain under the rubble and in the bombarded streets and alleys, while rescue teams are unable to reach them due to constant bombing and lack of resources.
