GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their renewed aggression on the Gaza Strip for the fifth consecutive day, resuming a wave of bombing that came after 57 days of a fragile ceasefire that went into effect on January 19, 2025.
Five civilians, including children, were killed while several others were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Mashharawi family home near the Al-Julani Mosque in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.
A Palestinian was also wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a residential house west of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. Israeli aircraft also targeted agricultural land near the Abu Al-Saeed junction, west of Rafah.
The Israeli air and artillery bombardment continued overnight, targeting various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli airstrikes were reported in the southeastern area of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, and al-Qarara town, east of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, while Israeli artillery shelled the Netzarim axis in the central Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, and the western areas of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip.
Since Israel resumed its aggression on Gaza Strip at dawn Tuesday, March 18, nearly 600 citizens, including more than 220 children and 115 women, have been martyred and 1,042 others injured, most of them children and women.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, which has left more than 160,000 Palestinians martyred and wounded, most of them children and women, thousands missing; two million displaced; and more than 70% of the buildings in the Gaza Strip destroyed.
