On day 320 of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation launched heavy strikes on Khan Younis, south of the Strip, killing 13 Palestinians and injuring tens of others, who were later transported to the Nasser Medical Complex, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent. 

Two children and five women were killed after the Israeli occupation forces bombed displaced Palestinians' tents in Bani Suheila, while others were also injured and martyred in the Israeli bombardment of their makeshift tents in al-Zinna. 

Our correspondent in Gaza reported that several injured Palestinians were taken to the Kuwaiti field hospital after Israeli forces fired at Palestinians and their tents from their military vehicles in al-Qarara, where the IOF also raided residential squares.

The occupation also targeted a Palestinian home near the town of Hamad, injuring several of its residents, according to our correspondent, who also reported three Israeli raids against agricultural land in Abasan. 

In the same town, our correspondent pointed out that several Palestinians were killed and others were injured after the occupation bombed a house belonging to the Gadih family. 

In Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the killing of several Palestinians and the injury of others in the targeting of a group of people near the Badr junction.

The systematic targeting of hospitals 

In central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that a mother and her three children were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Amid a systematic assault by the occupation targeting hospitals and areas housing a large number of displaced people, the Gaza Ministry of Health has called on international organizations to protect the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. 

It is worth noting that certain areas in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital have been turned into shelters for makeshift tents for displaced Palestinians. 

Two people were killed and 15 others were injured, including 10 children, as a result of an Israeli airstrike on the Salah al-Din school in western Gaza City, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

In the Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, our correspondent reported multiple casualties and injuries following an airstrike by the occupation forces on a house.

The total number of Palestinians killed since the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip started on October 7 has risen to 40,223, in addition to 92,981 injuries, according to the daily report published by the Health Ministry in Gaza on Wednesday.

"Israel" committed four massacres in 24 hours, killing 50 Palestinians and injuring 124 others.

While some were transported to partially functioning hospitals, many victims remain trapped beneath the rubble with rescue crews unable to reach them.
