The Israeli occupation forces have committed multiple massacres in the Gaza Strip as part of an ongoing genocidal campaign that has persisted for 307 days. The relentless attacks have resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians across various areas of the besieged enclave.

In the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli bombardment has been concentrated on the city of Khan Younis over the past several hours. Multiple airstrikes have targeted the area, leading to widespread destruction and loss of life.

At least six people were killed, and others were injured, following an Israeli airstrike on a home in eastern Qarara, located east of Khan Younis.

The situation in the eastern towns of Khuzaa and Abasan al-Kabira, as well as other areas in eastern Khan Younis, has become increasingly dire. Heavy bombardment has forced a mass exodus of residents toward the western parts of the city after the Israeli forces issued threats against these areas.

In central Gaza, at least three people were killed when Israeli forces bombed a group of civilians near the electricity company north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The situation in the Nuseirat has been further aggravated by Israeli artillery shelling in the northwestern part of the camp, as well as in the eastern parts of al-Bureij camp.

The al-Bureij camp has seen one of the deadliest attacks, with at least eight people killed and several others injured, some critically, after an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential home.

Rising death toll from school bombings

The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on two schools, al-Zahraa and Abdel Fattah Hamoud, in eastern Gaza City has risen to 18, according to civil defense officials. The schools, which were sheltering thousands of displaced people, were severely damaged, leaving dozens more injured and several others missing under the rubble.

In northern Gaza, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, followed by another airstrike on Gaza City. The northern areas of the Gaza Strip have also faced intense bombardment, with Israeli artillery shelling the eastern parts of Beit Hanoun and an airstrike on Sheikh Zayed City.

The continued Israeli military operations have exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, leading to further displacement, destruction, and loss of life. 

The latest massacres are to be added to the total number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7, which amounts to 39,699, in addition to 91,722 injuries, as per the Gaza Ministry of Health's data.

While some were transported to barely functioning hospitals, many victims remain trapped beneath the rubble with rescue crews being unable to reach them.

The Gaza Strip is experiencing widespread devastation, with reports of multiple massacres occurring across various provinces.

The Civil Defense in Gaza announced that over a dozen people were martyred and several others were wounded, in critical condition, as a result of Israeli shelling of the schools of Abdul Fattah Hamoud and al-Zahraa schools in Gaza City.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that injuries have been transferred to the Nasser Medical Complex following an Israeli airstrike on a home in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip.

Invading Israeli forces have reportedly demolished a residential block in the Shabura refugee camp near the al-Farouk Mosque in central Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, as per our correspondent.

An Israeli drone has targeted the area surrounding the Islamic Complex in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

Our correspondent reported that the death toll from the Israeli bombing of a residential block in the al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip rose to 12.

It is worth noting that our correspondent warned that the humanitarian conditions in Gaza are deteriorating rapidly, with reports of increasing deaths from hunger or thirst due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and relentless bombing.
