GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli occupation forces continue to commit the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip for the 98th consecutive day Friday. They have carried out dozens of airstrikes, artillery shelling, and firebombing, resulting in bloody massacres against civilians. They have also committed horrific crimes in incursion axes, amidst a catastrophic humanitarian situation caused by the siege and the displacement of over 90% of the population.
Our correspondents reported that the Israeli aircraft and artillery continued their intense bombardment of various areas of the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, targeting homes, gatherings, facilities, and streets, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and casualties.
At least 5 martyrs were killed as a result of the Israeli shelling of a house in the Al-Mashaala neighborhood west of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation forces shelled the southern and western neighborhoods of Khan Younis with artillery fire.
Israeli artillery shelling continues on the Al-Bureij and Al-Maghazi refugee camps and the town of Al-Zawaida amidst fierce clashes.
The municipality of Gaza warned of the danger of flooding the rainwater reservoir in Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza due to continued rainfall and the water level reaching a critical point.
International institutions were called upon to urgently intervene and provide the necessary fuel to operate water pumps.
The heavy rains and cold weather have exacerbated the suffering of hundreds of thousands of displaced people and caused their tents to be flooded.
The displaced people living in shelters in northern Gaza are facing catastrophic conditions due to the ongoing Israeli siege and the prevention of fuel supplies to municipalities, leading to disrupting their services.
Last night, medical sources reported that 30 martyrs arrived at Khan Younis hospitals in the past 24 hours as a result of continuous Israeli shelling in various parts of the province. The Israeli warplanes carried out intense airstrikes in central Khan Younis and targeted ambulance and rescue crews while they were working on transporting the wounded and retrieving the martyrs.
Last night, 9 civilians were martyred and others were injured in an Israeli shelling that targeted a house in the Al-Shawka area, east of Rafah city in southern Gaza.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews transferred 9 martyrs following the Israeli targeting of the Abu Seneima family’s house on the Airport Street in Rafah.
In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th has resulted in the martyrdom of 23,469 civilians, mostly women and children, and the injury of approximately 60,000. Thousands of people are still under the rubble.
