Gaza's Health Ministry reported on Saturday that the number of Palestinian martyrs due to the ongoing genocide led by the Israeli army since October 7 has reached 24,927, with 62,388 individuals sustaining injuries.
Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed 14 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 165 martyrs and 280 injuries.
A number of Palestinians were killed and others were injured today, Saturday, in bombardment carried out by occupation aircraft and artillery that affected various areas of the Gaza Strip.
24 Palestinians were martyred as a result of the occupation’s bombing of al-Bureij, al-Maghazi, and al-Nuseirat camps, as well as al-Masdar area in the central Gaza Strip.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation aircraft launched a series of violent raids on an area northwest of Gaza City.
He added that the occupation forces stormed 5 schools housing displaced people in the Abu Mazen roundabout in Gaza City and transferred hundreds of displaced people from these schools by trucks, without their blankets and belongings, from Gaza City to the central region late at night.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the Israeli occupation targeted the vicinity of the association’s Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis with a series of air strikes and artillery shelling.
Moreover, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said it documented the killing of 94 Palestinian university professors by Israeli army forces, along with hundreds of teachers and thousands of students, as part of the genocidal war "Israel" unleashed on the Gaza Strip since October 7.
Israeli air strikes across Gaza left dozens of Palestinian martyrs, including children and women, injured as the war on the Strip enters its 106th day, with the most recent data released by the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza revealing that over 2,000 massacres have been committed by the occupation military since October 7.
