GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) On the first day of the new year and in the midst of growing humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 453rd consecutive day, to massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.

Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation army carried out attacks on several homes and civilian targets in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring a number of citizens.

The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 89, where its forces continue to intensively bomb homes and shelters and attack civilians while imposing a tight siege on the entire area.

Deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance and civil defense workers already deprived northern Gaza of any rescue services.

Local sources said that an Israeli drone bombed a group of citizens in al-Manara neighborhood in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza, killing two people and injuring others.

An Israeli warplane also bombed a house belonging to the family of Tarroush in Jabalia al-Balad, north of Gaza, killing eight civilians and injuring others.

Several casualties were reported, including two martyrs, following an Israeli artillery attack on a house belonging to the family of Abu Daher in al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli army also bombed the house of Al Jazeera correspondent Rami Abu Taima in al-Fakhari area in eastern Khan Yunis, injuring members of his family.

More casualties were reported in other areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.

In a related context, the health ministry in Gaza said on Wednesday that the Israeli army committed two massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, and killed and injured at least 53 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
