The Israeli occupation persisted in its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 284th day, committing horrific massacres against civilians, which led to several martyrs after the occupation bombed different areas in the Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school of al-Razi in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, where many forcible displaced families were taking refuge.

23 Palestinians were killed in the horrific massacre and dozens were injured.

Concurrently, a harrowing Israeli attack on forcibly displaced people near the al-Attar Station in the al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, has resulted in the killing of at least 17 people and the injury of at least 26, as per the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Our correspondent reported that additional martyrs from the recent massacre in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis are being transferred to the hospital.

The two massacres reported in Nuseirat and al-Mawasi are not included in the report of Gaza's Health Ministry for the 284th day. The previously reported figures do not account for the recent casualties from these attacks, indicating that the overall death toll is expected to increase as additional data become available.

These are just two of thousands of similar massacres in recent months, through which Israeli occupation forces are turning Gaza into a lifeless region.

The genocide is ongoing

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report today that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza due to the Israeli genocidal war ongoing since October 7 has now reached 38,713, in addition to 89,166 injuries.

Additionally, it confirmed that Israeli occupation forces committed two massacres in 24 hours, killing 49 and injuring 69.

The ministry stressed that thousands of victims are still under the rubble on the streets, as the occupation forces continue to deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
