The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli war on October 7 has risen to 40,861 and those injured 94,398, the Gaza Health Ministry confirmed on Wednesday.

In its daily report, the ministry mentioned that Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres in Gaza, killing 42 people and injuring 107 others in the past 24 hours.

Earlier today, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that one person was killed when the occupation forces bombed a house in the al-Daraj neighborhood, located in the center of Gaza City, north of the Strip. The attack caused a fire, and four others were injured in a separate bombing of a barracks in the al-Sahaba area.

Occupation aircraft also targeted the Sabra neighborhood in the south of Gaza City, while buildings were destroyed in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood and homes were hit in Tal al-Hawa.

Additionally, our correspondent reported that Israeli artillery shelled the area around the electricity company north of the al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, pointing out the renewed Israeli bombing of the "Netzarim" axis.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that the occupation bombed the Mawasi area in Rafah and the northwest of the city, destroying residential blocks in Tal al-Sultan and the Araba area.

Local media also reported that a critically injured individual was retrieved from the al-Najjar neighborhood in Khuza'a, east of Khan Younis, following gunfire from occupation vehicles.
