The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continued their deadly air attacks on Gaza, targeting a group of Palestinian cemetery workers in northern Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

According to our correspondent, Israeli warplanes conducted a series of intense airstrikes, hitting the central area of the Gaza Strip, resulting in yet another massacre in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. The airstrikes struck a civilian gathering, a local restaurant, and the Barbarawi family residence, leading to multiple injuries and casualties, with some of them taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Hospital.

Our correspondent emphasized that Israeli warplanes conducted heavy airstrikes in the center of Gaza City and also targeted Al-Shati' refugee camp, west of Gaza.

In a related context, displaced Palestinians from the Al-Attara neighborhood expressed to Al Mayadeen a strong refusal of any displacement proposals, and their determination to prevent the recurrence of a new Nakba, in reference to a recent report by AP showing that the Israeli Intelligence Ministry has drafted a plan detailing a wartime proposal for the forced displacement of the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip into the Sinai peninsula.

Genocide in Gaza is underway

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced, on Thursday, that the latest toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip reached 9,227 martyrs including 3,826 children and 2,405 women.

As the full blockade continues for almost a month, the people of Gaza are facing an acute humanitarian crisis as the supply of bread has been severed due to the depletion of ingredients and the last quantities of fuel required for operating bakeries.

In the past 48 hours, the Israeli occupation committed three massacres in the Jabalia refugee camp, which resulted in over 1,000 casualties. Al-Shati camp in Gaza also saw two massacres in the past hours, leading to the martyrdom of over 30 Palestinians.

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation has dropped bombs on #Gaza with a force equivalent to that of two nuclear bombs.

Despite the Israeli occupation's claims of targeting military objectives, the government's media office rejected these claims, stressing that the evidence on the ground points to a pattern of aggression on residential neighborhoods, civilian homes, and gatherings of citizens at vital locations like bakeries, hospitals, and churches.
