The Government Media Office in Gaza announced that the number of press martyrs in the Gaza Strip had risen to 105 since the start of the genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation.

This comes after fellow journalists Mohammad Khair al-Din and Ahmad Khair al-Din were murdered in an Israeli raid on the Strip.

In turn, the al-Quds Today news website mourned their colleague Ahmed, who had been covering the aggression in the northern Gaza Strip for 82 days. Ahmad was martyred alongside several of his family members after their home was targeted.

Al-Quds Today reaffirmed their journalistic mission and confirmed they will continue to cover the news despite all efforts by the occupation to silence journalists.

Israeli occupation airstrikes kill several in central, southern Gaza

Israeli occupation warplanes launched intense airstrikes on the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, who also reported fierce confrontations between the Palestinian Resistance and Israeli forces in the Khan Younis axis.

Our correspondent mentioned that one Palestinian was killed and others were wounded in an Israeli shelling that targeted Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Israeli forces targeted a house in Deir al-Balah, as well as a civilian car transporting casualties to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, noting that seven people were martyred and several others were injured as a result of the strike on the house.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also said that the Israeli occupation targeted a civilian car carrying casualties from Deir al-Balah, killing everyone inside.

On Wednesday, dozens were martyred and injured in an airstrike carried out by Israeli warplanes in front of the Palestine Red Crescent Society's al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli warplanes launched intense airstrikes targeting the central area of the Strip, especially the al-Bureij and al-Maghazi camps, with shells reaching shelter centers, resulting in the martyrdom of several individuals.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli aggression on Gaza has turned hospitals into small health centers unable to provide services, operating at a capacity not exceeding 30%.
