The Israeli army continued its onslaught on various parts of the Gaza Strip Saturday, killing dozens of Palestinians and wounding hundreds, in addition to preventing medics from entering some bombarded areas.
Media sources said the army fired many missiles at a home in the Zawaida town in central Gaza and refused to allow the Palestinian medics to reach it.
The bombing led to dozens of casualties, including fatalities, largely buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings.

It is worth mentioning that the Al-Maghazi, Al-Boreij, and Nusseirat refugee camps in central Gaza have been subject to constant bombing and shelling, while the soldiers also occupied buildings and fired many live rounds at Palestinians fleeing the area.
In addition, a child was killed, and many members of her family were injured after the army fired a missile at a home in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.
