The Israeli occupation forces have committed six massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 41 martyrs and 131 injuries reaching hospitals in the past 24 hours, confirmed the Gaza Health Ministry on Thursday.

According to the Ministry’s daily report, the number of Palestinians killed since the start of the Israeli war on the Strip last year has risen to 43,204 martyrs, in addition to 101,641 injuries.

This comes as the Israeli occupation military continues its genocidal war on Gaza for the 391st consecutive day, intensifying bombardments and airstrikes across all areas of the besieged Strip.

Medical sources in Gaza reported that several civilians were killed and others injured in Israeli artillery shelling targeting multiple homes in Beit Lahia on Thursday.

Four Palestinians, including two children, were killed, and others wounded when Israeli artillery struck the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

A medical supply warehouse at the hospital, containing stock received five days ago from the World Health Organization (WHO), was also burned due to the Israeli attack.

Israeli artillery shelled areas surrounding al-Quds Hospital in Tel Al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, and around Abu Sharia Square in the al-Sabra neighborhood to the south of the city.

In central Gaza, four Palestinians were killed and others injured when an Israeli drone struck a vehicle west of the al-Maghazi camp. The Israeli artillery also targeted areas north of the al-Nuseirat camp in Gaza’s central governorate.

Israeli massacres in north Gaza continue

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that 50 people were killed in less than 24 hours in northern Gaza and Gaza City as a result of Israeli attacks.

Civilians, humanitarian workers, medics, and journalists in northern Gaza report that the situation is worsening, significantly hindering life-saving efforts and the ability of journalists to report accurately, as per the piece.

Communication among hospitals, healthcare workers, and aid agencies is becoming sporadic, and ongoing ground fighting has made travel increasingly perilous, complicating the coordination of care and treatment and the accurate collection of casualty data.

The Civil Defense suspended its services last Wednesday after Israeli occupation forces attacked their crews, destroying their last fire engine in tank shelling.

The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that Israeli occupation forces "open fire on anyone who tries to approach a vehicle belonging to us that they seized in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza."

They stated that Civil Defense operations have been forcibly suspended for the ninth consecutive day in all areas of northern Gaza due to ongoing Israeli targeting and aggression, leaving thousands of civilians without humanitarian or medical care.

The Civil Defense called on humanitarian organizations, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene urgently to allow their teams to fulfill their humanitarian duties.
