On Friday, Israeli forces continued their onslaught against the entire population of 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza for the 364th straight day.

Update 11:59 PM Friday October 4th:

Nine Palestinians were killed and others injured on Friday in Israeli shelling of the cities of Gaza and Khan Yunis.

A correspondent with the Wafa news agency reported that paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent transferred the bodies of five killed and a number of injured people to Al-Shifa Hospital, as a result of the Israeli occupation bombing of the Hamduna family home in the vicinity of the Al-Shati’ Supply Center west of Gaza City. Four of those killed have been identified as Obaida Surur, Hassan Hamduna, Radwan Tanira, and Muhammad Abu Sultan.

An additional four people were killed, including two women and an infant, in a house belonging to the Al-Farra family, which was subjected to an Israeli missile attack, in the Al-Manara neighborhood in Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian children were injured due to the explosion of an unexploded ordnance from the Israeli occupation forces near the College of Science and Technology in Khan Yunis.

In addition, a number of civilians were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation artillery shelling south of the Al-Jafrawi area, southeast of the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, and they were transferred to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city.

Later Friday evening, eight Palestinians were killed and others were injured tonight in Israeli shelling of Al-Nuseirat refugee camp and Deir Al-Balah city in central Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that five Palestinians were killed and others were injured when the Israeli occupation warplanes bombed the house of the Alian and Karajah families in the Al-Da’wa neighborhood, northeast of the Nuseirat camp.

Two other Palestinians were killed when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Ghafri family, northeast of the camp.

In Deir al-Balah city, a Palestinian was killed and others were injured, when the Israeli occupation bombed a center for sheltering displaced people in al-Salah School in the city.

The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the killing of at least 41,788 citizens and the injury of 96,794 others, most of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.

Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,891 children, 11,458 women, 174 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 986 medical staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.

The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher – and could be above 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.

This most recent escalation of Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine began October 7th 2023 when 1,143 Israelis were killed, including 767 civilians and 376 armed soldiers. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
