Israeli occupation forces continued their genocide in Gaza for the 358th day, launching dozens of air raids and artillery strikes, and committing massacres against civilians amid a catastrophic humanitarian disaster as a result of the Israeli siege.
In the past hours, Israeli shelling concentrated on the Al-Maghazi and Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza, while shelling residential buildings in the region.
Sources in the Gaza Strip reported that Civil Defense crews were able to recover the bodies of two martyrs and a number of wounded due to the shelling of a house in Nuseirat as the IOF demolished residential buildings in Meghrafa.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that Israeli quadcopters opened fire on Palestinians east of al-Maghazi, central Gaza. Moreover, a Palestinian civilian was killed by Israeli shelling targeting the road between Al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps.
The occupation also shelled the Great Mosque near al-Nuseirat Camp.
Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli occupation shelling that targeted Salah al-Din Street, opposite Nuseirat Camp, while Israeli aircraft launched an attack on Al-Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, and bombed the southern regions of Al-Sira neighborhood, south of the city.
In the south of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation targeted the Al-Manara neighborhood, south of Khan Younis.
Hamas urges ICRC to clarify fate of 1000s of abducted Palestinians
The Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas said that the latest outrageous delivery of the bodies of 88 martyrs to the Gaza Strip by Israeli occupation forces is a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.
Bodies of martyrs were found decomposing in a container transported by a truck to the Gaza Strip on Thursday, showcasing the brutal criminality of the Israeli regime.
As Hamas' Media Office pointed out, no documents or information was sent with the bodies, which were already decomposing, making their identification extremely difficult.
Hamas said that the bodies were tacked in trucks "in a manner that violates their sanctity."
"It (the Israeli action) also infringes upon the right of the martyrs' families to identify their loved ones and bury them with dignity, as well as the right of the families of the missing to know the fate of their children," the statement added.
The Palestinian Resistance movement renewed its call to the international community and humanitarian organizations, specifically the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to condemn the Israeli regime's repeated criminal acts.
"We urge them to act to stop its ongoing violations against the Palestinian people in Gaza," Hamas said.
The movement also urged international organizations to mobilize in order to reveal the fate of the thousands of Palestinian abductees in Israeli prisons, adding that these people "are subjected to the most heinous acts of sadistic torture, abuse, and systematic killing."
