GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 425th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and 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, civilian targets and shelter centers in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.
The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 61, 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.
According to local sources, the Israeli army bombed a school (Abu Tammam) sheltering displaced families in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, killing and injuring a number of civilians.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army forced thousands of displaced people to evacuate shelter centers in central Beit Lahia, amid intensive bombardment.
An Israeli airstrike targeted a group of civilians in az-Zuhour neighborhood in Rafah, south of Gaza, killing two of them.
Another airstrike claimed the lives of five civilians, mostly children, as they were receiving food aid from charitable persons in an-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Medical crews from the health ministry and the Red Crescent managed today to recover the bodies of eight martyrs one day after an Israeli attack targeted a gathering of citizens near the Hamdan venue in eastern Rafah.
Bodies of several martyrs were also recovered today from different areas of Gaza.
At dawn, three people were killed and several others were either injured or reported missing following Israeli airstrikes on Deir al-Balah and al-Bureij in central Gaza.
More casualties were reported in other areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.
