On the sixteenth straight day of massive Israeli bombardment of civilian towns, cities, and refugee camps in Gaza, 379 Palestinians were killed, at least 70% of whom were women, children, and elderly people.

Local sources reported repeated airstrikes on Jabalia, Gaza City, Al-Bureij, An-Nusseirat, and Khan Younis, as well as earth-shaking airstrikes in the vicinity of Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Quds Hospital.

Sunday’s death toll raises the number of Palestinians killed since October 7 in the Gaza Strip to 4,651.

In addition, an Israeli soldier was killed in Khan Younis when a battalion of soldiers attempted to invade Khan Younis. Resistance fighters repelled the invasion, disarming a tank and destroying a bulldozer.

Medical sources reported that 44 Palestinians were killed in the Khan Younis Governorate, 57 in Rafah, 168 in Central Gaza Governorate, 66 in Gaza City, and 44 in the North of the Gaza Strip.

Of the 4,651 Palestinians killed in the past 16 days by the Israeli military, 1,903 were children, 1,024 were women, and 187 were elderly.

In Rafah on Sunday, the Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that the Israeli Airforce dropped a bomb on a family home, killing six family members and wounding 11.

In Khan Younis, the Israeli warplanes targeted the home of the Abu Habis family in Al-Qarara, which led to the death of five family members, and the house of the Al-Zaytani family in the Al-Amal neighborhood, which led to the injury of a number of civilians.

In central Gaza, the Israeli Airforce fired a missile at a home in Al-Mighraqa in the central Gaza Strip, killing 4 family members and wounding 6 others, in addition to bombing a house in the Al-Zawaida area in the central Gaza Strip.

13 Palestinian civilians were killed, and dozens injured, by the Israeli bombing of two homes and a mosque in Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
