GAZA: Dozens of civilians were killed and others injured over the last few hours as Israel continued its relentless genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip from the land, air and sea for the 20th consecutive week, according to local and medical reports.
In Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of civilians in the Dahdouh Square, killing and injuring dozens of innocent civilians.
Additionally, several civilians sustained various injuries due to intense Israeli shelling targeting the Industry Street in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the south of Gaza City.
Israeli occupation forces also targeted displaced individuals in Al-Falah School with smoke bombs, forcing them to evacuate the area to the western areas of Gaza City. The developments coincide with continuing excavation works and destruction of residential homes by the invading Israeli army east of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.
In southern Gaza, medical sources reported that nine fatalities and several injuries were brought to the European Gaza H
ospital, after a group of civilians had been targeted by an Israeli strike near the Asqalan School east of Khan Yunis.
Local health authorities in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation is placing Gaza’s population in a triangle of death, characterized by continuous shelling, starvation, and the spread of diseases.
The health authorities confirmed that half a million citizens in northern Gaza are experiencing a famine that is claiming lives amid the Israeli military siege on the region- blocking the entry of essential supplies, including food and medicine.
Reports indicate that around 350,000 patients with chronic diseases, 60,000 pregnant women, and 700,000 children in the Gaza Strip are in critical condition due to malnutrition, drought, and the lack of medical resources as a result of the continued Israeli aggression.
