On Friday, day 378 of the ongoing Israeli genocide against the 2.2 million civilians in the Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells struck various parts of the devastated, starved and besieged Gaza Strip, killing and wounding many Palestinians, including children and women.
Israel has, each day for the past 378 days, violated the terms of its responsibilities as an occupying power under the Fourth Geneva Convention, including targeting journalist, medics, children, elders, United Nations staff, relief workers, teachers and shop owners.
Before dawn Friday, Israeli forces bombed several parts of Gaza City, killing a number of Palestinians, most of them children.
These attacks come just hours after Israeli forces killed 24 Palestinians and wounded 150 in a massacre against the displaced in Abu Hussein School in Jabalia camp, north of the Strip. The northern Gaza Strip has been without food and clean water for over two weeks due to the Israeli siege on the town in northern Gaza.
Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics confirmed that children’s bodies were recovered after a missile attack by the Israeli occupation forces on a house on Al-Nasr Street, northwest of Gaza City. They were transferred to what remains of the Al-Shifa Hospital, west of the city.
Paramedics reported that two people were killed from the Shahada and Hasaballah families. Their bodies were recovered from the Wadi al-Arayes area, east of the al-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, after they were targeted by Israeli army bullets. The corpses were transferred to the Baptist Hospital in the city.
In addition, a number of Palestinians were injured after the occupation aircraft bombed the house of the Al-Husseini family near the Abu Mazen junction in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. They were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital.
The child Abdul Rahman Al-Dalo (12 years old) was also killed due to severe burns he sustained, joining his mother and his brother Shaban, who were burned to death by the Israeli bombing of Al-Aqsa Hospital 4 days ago.
A number of Palestinians were killed and others were injured at dawn on Friday, when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a house in Al-Shati refugee camp.
Medical sources reported that a number of people were killed, including children, and injuries were reported in the occupation’s bombing of the Al-Qadiri family’s house in Al-Shati camp, west of Gaza City.
In the same context, Israeli war ships opened fire on the western areas of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Local sources have identified the list of victims of the October 15th massacre by Israeli forces in Beit Hanoun:
Among the victims were 11 members of the Sayyid family and 6 members of the Adwan family, including the mother, father, and four children. – Musab Fawaz Adwan (Father) – Juliet Salah Ghanam (Mother) – Hossam Adwan (Son) – Bayan Adwan (Son) – Zein Adwan (Son) – Hoor Al Ain Adwan (Daughter) – Ola Ashraf Sayyid – Alia Sayyid – Ahmed Sayyid – Hani Sayyid – Amina Sayyid – Amal Sayyid – Zahia Sayyid – Yahya Hani Sayyid – Ibrahim Sayyid – Somaya Sayyid “Zaqout” – Amal Hussein Sayyid.
The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which has killed at least 42,438 Palestinians and the injury of 99,246 others, the majority 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 16,927 children, 11,487 women, 2,419 elderly people, 175 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.
