At least 88 Palestinians were killed in Beit Lahia and the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip, early on Thursday.

Israeli occupation forces struck neighborhoods in the northern Gaza Strip, killing 66 and injuring dozens in Beit Lahia and killing 22 in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

In the second strike, an Israeli bomb targeted the family home of the al-Arouqi family, killing at least 10 children, local Palestinian media reported.

As part of its ongoing campaign of genocide against the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation committed two new massacres, resulting in the martyrdom of over 85 individuals. The first occurred in Beit Lahia, and the second in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

Meanwhile, the strike in Beit Lahia targeted an area in close proximity to the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital.

In the context of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians, Israeli artillery heavily shelled Beit Lahia, while helicopters continuously fired munitions at the area.

Nearby in the Jabalia refugee camp, Israeli occupation forces demolished several residential buildings. The al-Zaytoun, Tal al-Hawa, and al-Sabra neighborhoods in Gaza City, also came under Israeli attack on Thursday.

Parts of the central Gaza Strip, including the al-Nuseirat and al-Bureij refugee camps were also shelled by Israeli artillery units.

So far, health authorities have confirmed that the Israeli aggression has martyred 43,985 Palestinians and wounded 104,092 others. Thousands have been listed as missing by authorities, as their status could not be confirmed to this point, either due to their abduction by occupation forces or because their bodies have not been recovered to this point.
