In the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry, Israeli occupation forces carried out four massacres against Palestinian families. In the past 24 hours alone, "Israel" killed 38 Palestinians and injuried 71 others.

Tragically, amid the rubble and chaos, there are still victims awaiting rescue, yet access remains a challenge for ambulances and civil defense teams.

The cumulative impact of the Israeli aggression continues to escalate, with the death toll now reaching 33,175 martyrs and 75,886 injured since the onset of the conflict on October 7th.

Israeli aggression on Khan Younes claims lives of several Palestinians

More Palestinians were martyred and injured in the Gaza Strip early on Sunday in a series of airstrikes by Israeli warplanes and artillery shelling. The attacks focused on the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip.

After the Israeli occupation targeted al-Istiqamah Mosque, in Rafah city, two Palestinians were injured as they were located in a home adjacent to it.

Moreover, Israeli occupation aircraft launched intense airstrikes on the Zanna and Bani Suhaila areas east of Khan Younis, killing and injuring several Palestinians.

It is important to note that the Zanna area is where the Palestinian Resistance ambushed Israeli occupation soldiers yesterday after the latter claimed, months ago, to have cleared and destroyed Resistance capabilities there.

Israeli occupation warplanes also carried out multiple airstrikes on various areas west of Khan Younis city in southern Gaza Strip last night.

Furthermore in Khan Younis, the occupation forces targeted a group of civilians west of the Turkish slaughterhouse, resulting in casualties. This occurred concurrently with the Israeli occupation's artillery shelling of wide areas south and west of the city.

Additionally, local sources reported that the occupation forces targeted wide areas in Beit Hanoun and the Qleibo area north of Gaza. This was accompanied by artillery shelling on the Zaytoun neighbourhood east of Gaza City and the southern neighbourhoods of the city.
