The number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza since October 7 has risen to 38,443 martyrs, with 88,481 injured, the Ministry of Health in the Strip confirmed on Saturday.

In its daily report, the Ministry announced that "Israel" committed four massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 61 and injuring 129 over the past 24 hours.

The report noted that several victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads, as emergency and civil defense teams cannot reach them.

Earlier, Israeli occupation forces committed several gruesome massacres across several towns and neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip which were discovered on Friday, with the reported toll reaching 140 killed in Gaza City. 

Occupation forces' withdrawal from al-Shujaiya neighborhood, in eastern Gaza City, has also unraveled the scene of horrifying war crimes. As emergency workers arrived in the neighborhood, following two weeks of Israeli onslaught, more than 60 bodies of Palestinian martyrs were recovered on Friday.

The Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip explained that dozens of other bodies are yet to be recovered as they remain stuck under the rubble caused by Israeli strikes and shelling and many residents' whereabouts are yet to be determined. Authorities said that multiple Israeli quadcopter drones, equipped with rifles, are still swarming the city, arbitrarily hunting down Palestinians.

'Israel' commits horrific massacres in Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah

The Israeli occupation forces committed a horrific massacre in Khan Younis, where heavy bombardment of the al-Mawasi area of the city killed dozens of civilians and wounded dozens of others, with reports indicating that the number of those killed is no less than 70. 

The total tally of the aggression is over 100 casualties so far, with reports coming in from Khan Younis saying that over an hour and a half into the aggression, martyrs are still being brought in to the Kuwaiti Hospital, as the Ministry of Health stressed that the whole of the Gaza Strip cannot bear this number of casualties due to the healthcare infrastructure being impaired by constant Israeli bombardment.

Dozens of bodies are still stuck under the rubble as first responders and rescue workers are attempting to reach all those murdered and wounded; most of the latter are critically injured, as reports coming in from the Kuwaiti hospital indicate. 

In the central Gaza Strip, five Palestinians, including three children, were killed Saturday following an Israeli airstrike on a home in Deir al-Balah. 

Additionally, at least ten Palestinians were injured in an airstrike targeting a house on al-Ashreen Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Another airstrike by the Israeli occupation forces hit the northern area of the camp.

In the southern Gaza Strip, two more civilians were killed and several others were injured in an air raid on Deir al-Balah. Furthermore, a man and his pregnant wife were killed after their home was bombed in the Qah al-Qurain area, east of Khan Younis.

Another Israeli airstrike targeted a house near the al-Tahrir station at the entrance to the large town of Abasan, also east of Khan Younis.
