On Thursday, Israeli airstrikes continue to devastate Gaza on the 59th day since the resumption of the genocide, resulting in widespread destruction and a steadily rising death toll, with at least 75 civilians, including children and women, killed and many more wounded, since dawn.
Medical facilities are overwhelmed, struggling to operate as infrastructure collapses under the pressure of ongoing attacks.
In northern Gaza, at least five Palestinians were killed and many others wounded when an Israeli airstrike struck the Shehab family’s home in Jabalia.
Seven civilians were killed in an Israeli strike on a home in Jabalia, while another UNRWA displacement center was bombed, killing four Palestinians and injuring many others.
Also, three Palestinians were killed, and many injured, by Israeli artillery shells in the Tal Ath-Thahab neighborhood in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, remains a focal point of intense shelling. Israeli strikes targeted more than nine homes and tents, killing at least 39 Palestinians and injuring over 100 others, most of whom were women and children.
Multiple homes across the area were destroyed, including residences near Rafah Garage, the Islamic University, and various family homes in central and eastern Khan Younis.
The bombing extended to Al-Bayouk family’s home, the Kaware’ family residence near the Gaza European Hospital, and homes belonging to the Al-‘Amour and Abu Ta’ima families in Al-Fukhari town and near Asqalan School. The Abu Haddaf area, east of Al-Qarara town, also suffered devastating strikes.
The Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis was also bombed for the third time in 24 hours, rendering it completely non-operational.
In addition, journalist Hasan Sammour and several members of his family were killed in an Israeli airstrike that struck their home in Bani Soheila, east of Khan Younis.
Also, two Palestinians were killed and others injured when the Israeli army bombarded a home in Khuza’a town, east of Khan Younis.
In Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part, Israeli forces opened fire on displaced Palestinians in the Mawasi area, killing one person and wounding several others. Artillery strikes in the northwestern part of the city killed a woman and injured three Palestinians.
In Gaza City, Israeli missiles targeted an apartment, killing at least four civilians and injuring several others. Additional strikes killed five Palestinians in eastern Gaza.
The Israeli military also issued evacuation orders for schools and displacement shelters in Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City, further exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
In central Gaza, at least three civilians were killed and others injured in an airstrike on the Nabahin family’s home in Deir al-Balah.
With the death toll mounting, Gaza’s health ministry reports 20 more fatalities and 125 injuries, in addition to many under the rubble, over the past 24 hours. Medical teams and emergency responders remain overwhelmed, struggling to keep up with the escalating crisis.
