On Monday dawn, the Israeli army continued its bombardment and shelling of various parts of the devastated and besieged Gaza Strip, killing and wounding hundreds of Palestinians, including women and children.
The Israeli bombing never ceased throughout the night and the morning, striking what remaining structures and buildings in the Gaza Strip, leading to a large number of deaths and injuries.
The army fired barrages of missiles and shells into the Al-Maghazi and the Al-Boreij refugee camps in central Gaza, killing at least 95 Palestinians, including many children and women, and wounding dozens.
The army dropped its missiles at an entire residential block, where hundreds of Palestinians, including families that fled their homes in northern Gaza, huddled in homes, hoping to be safe.
One of the surviving women in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp said the Israeli missiles obliterated her entire family.
Medical sources at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, said the dozens of slain and wounded Palestinians are only those who were actually transferred to the medical facility and added that a large number of Palestinians remain buried under the rubble.
Corpses of dozens of slain Palestinians are piled up in the yard of the medical facility, awaiting burial when the Israeli bombing ceases or pauses.
Dr. Khalil Daqran, the medical director of the Al-Aqsa Hospital, said the medical facility is packed with slain and wounded Palestinians, placed in corridors and tents, and added that the bodies of more than 70 slain Palestinians are severely mutilated due to the massive Israeli bombing on the two refugee camps.
Dr. Daqran added that the medical teams are trying their best to save the lives of wounded Palestinians despite the siege and the lack of essential medical supplies and said Intensive Care Units are already overcrowded.
“We urgently need medical supplies, we need fuel for electricity generators, we are in dire need of even very basic supplies to try to save the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, Dr. Daqran stated, “We do not have enough respirators; we don’t even have the minimum needed number of medical staff – This siege and the ongoing onslaught are a capital punishment for the sick and the wounded.”
He stated that many Palestinians who are sheltering in the yard of the hospital are suffering from various diseases and conditions, including intestinal and skin diseases and infections, “but we have no medicine or beds for them…”
It is worth mentioning that the army bombarded a land near the entrance of the Zawaida town in central Gaza and all areas around Abu Hilu Schools in Al-Boreij, in addition to targeting them with smoke bombs.
Many casualties were also reported after the army bombarded several areas in Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
In addition, the army fired missiles and shells at parts of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, especially the eastern parts of the city.
The Israeli missiles also killed more than 23 Palestinians and injured dozens, mostly women and children, in two homes in the Ma’an area, east of Khan Younis.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Gaza said it received reports about more than 8000 Palestinians, including children and women, who remain missing or buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings.
Palestinian resistance groups, despite the ongoing bombing for the past 80 days, continue to exchange fire with the invading Israeli soldiers in various parts of the Gaza Strip, while Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas said it killed ten soldiers in Juhr Ed-Deek in central Gaza, and in Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
Fighters from various groups are still engaging in heavy battles with Israeli soldiers and armored vehicles, trying to invade Jabalia and the Jabalia refugee camp.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli missiles and shells have killed at least 20.424 and injured more than 54.036 since October 7th and added that %70 of the slain and wounded Palestinians are women and children.
The numbers are preliminary and do not include the thousands of Palestinians who are buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings and those who remain missing, likely killed, and whose corpses are yet to be found.
