The Israeli occupation continues its brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, escalating its campaign of genocide and its plan to forcibly displace residents while destroying all means of livelihood.

Additionally, six people have been killed and several others have been injured due to an Israeli strike on a house in Beit Lahia.
The northern Gaza Strip has been subjected to continuous Israeli artillery shelling across a wide region for several hours.
Additionally, Israeli artillery has targeted the eastern section of al-Zeytoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza City.

In the city of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, a young man was killed, and two others were injured in an attack by an Israeli drone in the northeastern area of the city.
IOF using internationally banned weapons in genocide: Media Office
As part of its ongoing crimes against humanity, the Israeli occupation bombed and destroyed 254 housing units in the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported.
According to the Office, Israeli occupation forces employed internationally prohibited weapons in their attacks, dropping and firing them indiscriminately from warplanes and tanks. They also planted explosive barrels between civilian homes and detonated them remotely, disregarding any legal or humanitarian considerations.
They also deployed missiles with immense destructive power against civilian homes, "most of which were covered with asbestos and zinc sheets," leaving them in ruins beyond comprehension, according to the Media Office.
This brutal bombing over the last 48 hours resulted in several massacres around the new camp and its vicinity in Nuseirat, central Gaza Strip, with over 40 martyrs and numerous injuries, including among children and women, reported. Furthermore, "Israel" is preventing ambulance crews from rescuing the martyrs and wounded.
The Government Media Office condemned the occupation forces for committing these crimes against humanity, describing the deliberate targeting of civilians, including children and women, as acts of genocide. They called for international condemnation of these "horrific massacres against residential neighborhoods and civilians."
