GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip confirmed that 70 people have been martyred in Gaza City since dawn following the direct targeting of more than 25 homes, in addition to five gatherings of civilians.
The spokesperson for the General Directorate of Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, said that these attacks led to the martyrdom of approximately 70 people, including 11 who were waiting for aid, 12 children, and 14 women, in addition to more than 200 injured, some in critical condition.
He noted that rescue teams are still working to save and recover individuals from the Abu Samra family home, which was targeted this afternoon on Kashko Street in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
He indicated that more than 30 people are still trapped under the rubble of the six-story building.
Basal also added that over 25 civilians remain under the rubble of a house belonging to the Dahdah family—including both survivors and martyrs—near Al-Joulani Mosque in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, also in eastern Gaza, after it was bombed by Israeli occupation forces this afternoon.
He pointed out that the rescue teams have so far been unable to reach the area due to repeated targeting by Israeli forces.
Israel continues its relentless killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip for the 634th consecutive day, committing some of the most horrific massacres of the modern era in broad daylight and live on air, while the world watches in silence and fails to act in defense of the Palestinian people.
