There are reports of many dead and wounded who have not yet been reached by ambulances. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll from the bombardment currently stands at 60 and is expected to continue rising. However, our correspondent has reported upwards of 80 martyrs.
Western mainstream media justifies the horrific massacre in the Nusseirat refugee camp because their journalists are racists and cowards.#GazaHolocaust pic.twitter.com/X6rZir8fhX

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, an Israeli special force had infiltrated Nuseirat Camp. Upon the force's discovery by the Resistance, heavy confrontations ensued. According to our correspondent, it was the discovery of the force that led to this heavy Israeli shelling and the massacre in the camp.

This comes after 32 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured in an Israeli strike on an UNRWA school sheltering displaced individuals in the Camp 2 area in Nuseirat, central Gaza Strip on Thursday, June 6. The correspondent stated that the occupation fighter jets committed this massacre after midnight, adding that the al-Sardi School, which was bombed, shelters displaced Palestinians.
Contrary to the Israeli occupation's claim that it did not kill children in the Nuseirat massacre, the Government Media Office in Gaza exposed this false claim by publishing the names of the children who were killed by the IOF's deliberate bombing of the school in Nuseirat.
