GAZA, (The Palestinian Information Center) For the 706th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, marked by heavy aerial and artillery bombardments. The attacks, backed by unconditional US political and military support, and met with international silence and unprecedented failure by the global community, are targeting starving civilians and displaced populations across the enclave.
The PIC correspondents on the ground report dozens of new airstrikes and an escalation in massacres, amid worsening conditions for over 2 million displaced Palestinians who are enduring a severe famine.
Medical sources in Gaza hospitals confirmed the killing of multiple Palestinians in Israeli airstrikes across the Strip since early Thursday.
A child was shot and killed by Israeli forces this morning near his family home in Al-Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza.
Israeli warplanes and artillery simultaneously bombed the Tunnel area and Birket Sheikh Radwan, northeast of Gaza City.
Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat reported 4 martyrs and 49 injuries in the last 24 hours due to Israeli shelling on a humanitarian aid distribution point in southern Wadi Gaza, in addition to other strikes in central Gaza.

One woman was killed and others injured when an Israeli strike hit a displaced family’s tent (Abu Harbid family) near Al-Yarmouk market in Al-Daraj neighborhood, central Gaza.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, Israel’s ongoing war, openly supported by the US administration has resulted in 64,656 Palestinians killed, 163,503 wounded, over 9,000 missing, a famine that has killed hundreds, and more than 2 million Palestinians displaced, living in catastrophic conditions under massive destruction.
Over 20,000 children and 12,500 women have been killed, including 8,990 mothers.
More than 1,000 infants have been killed, including 450 born during the war, later martyred, underscoring the brutal targeting of the most vulnerable.
These attacks were carried out under the guise of humanitarian coordination through the controversial “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation”, an Israeli-American mechanism rejected by the UN, accused of being a tool to impose submission and orchestrate killings under the cover of aid delivery.
