Israeli occupation forces have carried out intense artillery shelling and airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since dawn on Tuesday, killing at least 16 Palestinians and wounding dozens more, including children and displaced people.
Northern Gaza under fire
Artillery targeted the town of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, while heavy shelling struck the al-Sabra neighborhood southwest of Gaza City. The bombardment, combined with fire from military vehicles and drones, left multiple martyrs and wounded, many of them children.
Airstrikes also pounded areas stretching from the al-Zaytoun neighborhood and east of Tal al-Hawa to the al-Khor roundabout.
Massacre in Deir al-Balah
In central Gaza, five Palestinians were killed when occupation forces targeted security personnel and civilians waiting near Kissufim, east of Deir al-Balah.
Drones also bombed a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Bassa area west of Deir al-Balah, leaving many injured who were rushed to al-Aqsa Hospital.
Khan Younis attacks
In Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes launched a series of violent raids on the city center, firing flares over al-Qarara northeast of the city. At the same time, reconnaissance aircraft struck several neighborhoods with missiles.
Kuwait Field Hospital confirmed that a child was killed and others were injured in a strike on a tent for displaced people. Another attack near Fish Farsh in al-Mawasi claimed four more lives.
In Rafah, Israeli planes targeted a tent near the Muawiya Mosque, killing one Palestinian and injuring others.
Humanitarian warning
Oxfam warned that two million Palestinians are enduring hunger, relentless bombing, and systematic deprivation at the hands of "Israel," adding that the forced displacement of civilians is deepening an already devastating cycle of suffering and destruction.
