On the 715th day of Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, the death toll rose to at least 107 Palestinians since dawn Saturday, including 81 in Gaza City alone. Dozens more were injured in a series of coordinated attacks involving airstrikes, drone fire, and explosive devices, with widespread destruction reported across multiple neighborhoods.
Israeli forces launched five air raids and detonated ten explosive vehicles in Tel al-Hawa, southwest Gaza City, targeting residential blocks and civilian infrastructure.
In al-Tuffah, northeast of the city, a drone strike killed six civilians and wounded others. Another strike on displacement tents northwest of Gaza City killed one Palestinian and injured several more.
In western Gaza, four civilians were killed and many wounded in a strike on Hamed Junction.
Later in the day, 22 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in a massacre near the Ihya al-Sunna Mosque in the Sabra neighborhood, following a direct strike on a densely populated residential block.
Medical teams reported that many victims remain trapped under rubble, with rescue efforts severely hindered by ongoing bombardment.
Four additional civilians were killed in a separate strike on a displacement tent in central Gaza City. Witnesses said the victims were transferred to the Shifa Hospital.
In the Nafaq area, northeast Gaza City, Israeli forces continued demolishing residential buildings, while remote-controlled explosive devices were used in heavy bombardment of the city’s northwest. Airstrikes also targeted the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

The report, published by Israel’s Walla news outlet, reflects the scale of the ground campaign as Israeli forces intensify operations across the city. The deployment includes multiple combat divisions supported by armored units, engineering teams, and drone operators.
Military officials described the current phase as one of the largest urban operations in Israel’s history, aimed at dismantling resistance infrastructure and asserting full control over Gaza City.
The troop buildup coincides with continued airstrikes, demolitions, and drone attacks targeting residential areas, displacement camps, and humanitarian convoys.
Israeli forces have also expanded the offensive in Khan Younis and central Gaza, while maintaining siege conditions across the Strip.

The number of displaced civilians continues to rise, with hundreds of thousands forced to flee under bombardment. Communications and internet services remain disrupted in several areas due to ongoing attacks and infrastructure damage.
Since the start of the genocide on October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 65,208 Palestinians and injured 166,271 others, the majority of whom are children and women.
The toll remains incomplete, as thousands of victims are still missing—many trapped beneath rubble in areas inaccessible to rescue teams due to the intensity of the bombardment and the collapse of emergency services.
