Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments across Gaza have killed at least 25 Palestinians and wounded dozens more, as the enclave’s humanitarian infrastructure faces near-total collapse, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

Our correspondent added that a separate strike hit a house on Salah al-Din Street in the al-Zaytun area, killing four Palestinians and injuring several others. Meanwhile, an Israeli drone attack on a UNRWA school east of Khan Younis has been reported, though casualty figures remain unclear.

In a related context, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that one foreign aid worker was killed and five others were critically injured after Israeli occupation forces shelled the headquarters of an international humanitarian organization in the central Gaza governorate. Medical teams at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital received the victims, condemning the attack on personnel engaged in relief efforts.

Israeli warplanes also launched three airstrikes on Rafah, while artillery shelling in Aabasan al-Jadida, east of Khan Younis, injured four people. In a separate attack, an Israeli drone strike hit the courtyard of the University College of Applied Sciences in Khan Younis.

'Israel' killed 103 Civil Defense personnel in Gaza

Meanwhile, Gaza’s Civil Defense Directorate announced the martyrdom of Sergeant Ahmad Muhammad Al-Hattab, who was killed in an Israeli strike on his home in the Sabra area. His death raises the total number of Civil Defense personnel killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide to 103.

Further Israeli shelling struck the al-Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah, wounding two Palestinians, while another airstrike near the entrance to the al-Nuseirat refugee camp killed one Palestinian.

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and Water Authority reported that 85% of Gaza’s water and sewage systems are now either completely or partially out of service, further worsening the already dire humanitarian situation.

After a fragile ceasefire that lasted roughly two months, "Israel" resumed its aggression on Gaza on Tuesday dawn with intense airstrikes, resulting in an initial toll of at least 400 martyrs.

The latest escalation comes amid widespread devastation in Gaza, with international organizations repeatedly warning of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.
