Medical sources stated that Israeli war jets targeted a group of citizens east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of one citizen and the injury of several others.

Additionally, five citizens were killed, and several others were injured due to an Israeli artillery shelling that targeted Block “1” in the al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Two Palestinians were killed and many injured in a bombing of a Palestinian home in Block 6 of the al-Bureij refugee camp.

The western areas of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza were subjected to artillery shelling, and the bombardment also targeted the Bureij refugee camp.

Medical sources said several Palestinians were injured when the army bombarded a home in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

At least five Palestinians, including one woman, were killed, and many others were injured, due to an Israeli airstrike on the telecommunications area west of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

This occurred simultaneously with the sound of explosions from the demolition of dozens of homes west of Jabalia, in northern Gaza, and in the vicinity of the Saftawi and Twam areas.

In addition, several Palestinians were killed and injured in an Israeli bombing of the Sheja’eyya neighborhood, east of Gaza city.

Also, one Palestinian was killed and several others injured, in an Israeli bombing of the Al-Jala’ street, west of Gaza city.

At least one Palestinian was killed and several injured in an Israeli bombing of the Zohour neighborhood, north of Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part.

In addition, Israeli war jets conducted at least two airstrikes on the Mawasi area west of Rafah, and another strike on the town of Bani Soheila town, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army also placed earth mounds to isolated Gaza City from the northern parts of the coastal enclave and tightened the siege on the entire area.

Un Special Rapporteur in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, said on her X account, “As we speak, write, tweet, sob, Israeli forces are committing another massacre in northern Gaza. People in Jabalia are killed – both in groups, and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism. By Israelis who have accepted to be “willing executioners” of a genocidal plan. With western-manufactured weapons and with western support.”

The Gaza Strip spans an area of 360 square kilometers, stretching 41 kilometers in length and varying in width from 5 to 15 kilometers. It is situated in the southern part of the Palestinian coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army “committed five massacres of families in the Gaza Strip, among them 49 slain Palestinians and 219 injured, mostly children and women, who were evacuated to hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours.”

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing of 227 citizens, including at least 16.927 children and 11.487 women, and the injury of 464 others, the majority of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.

Israeli Strike on Gaza Hospital Kills Four, Sparks Fire Severely Burning Dozens of Displaced Residents

The central Gaza Hospital was struggling to treat wounded people from an earlier strike on a school-turned-shelter when the IDF struck the medical compound ■ Ten people were killed in another strike later Monday, on an aid distribution center in Gaza's north

An Israeli airstrike on a hospital courtyard in the Gaza Strip early Monday killed at least four people and sent flames sweeping through a packed tent camp for people displaced by the war, leaving more than two dozen with severe burns, according to Palestinian medics.

The Israeli military said it targeted militants hiding out among civilians, without providing evidence. In recent months, it has repeatedly struck crowded shelters and tent camps, alleging that Hamas fighters were using them as staging grounds for attacks.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah was already struggling to treat a large number of wounded people from an earlier strike on a school-turned-shelter nearby that killed at least 20 people when the early morning airstrike hit and fire engulfed many of the tents.

Associated Press footage showed children among the wounded. A man sobbed as he carried a toddler with a bandaged head in his arms. Another small child with a bandaged leg was given a blood transfusion on the floor of the packed hospital.

Hospital records showed that four people were killed and 40 wounded. Twenty-five people were transferred to the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza after suffering severe burns, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini described it as "another night of horror" in a statement posted on X, saying that tents went up "in flames due to an airstrike on the courtyard of Al Aqsa hospital where people sought shelter."

"Meanwhile, in the same area, an UNRWA school was hit," Lazzarini said, adding that the school had been slated to be used for the polio vaccination campaign starting Monday.

"We had to cancel the vaccination campaign in that school due to severe damage," Lazzarini added.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip also said that at least ten people were killed and 30 others wounded, including women and children, in another Israeli strike later Monday targeting a humanitarian aid distribution center in the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza. A spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent said that rescue teams were unable to reach the site.

Israel is still carrying out near-daily strikes across the Gaza Strip more than a year into the war, and has been waging a major ground assault in the north, where it says militants have regrouped.

#Gaza : another night of horror in the middle areas.

Tents up in flames due to an airstrike on the courtyard of Al Aqsa hospital where people sought shelter.

Meanwhile, in the same area, an
@UNRWA school was hit with 20 people reported killed. The school was planned to be used for the #polio vaccination campaign which started today.
We had to cancel the vaccination campaign in that school due to severe damage.

#Gaza is a never ending hell.
All of this must not become the new norm.
Humanity must prevail.
