Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres overnight in the Gaza Strip, killing 45 Palestinians and injuring 256 more, on the 366th day of the brutal, genocidal war they launched against civilians. 

Some of the victims were transported to barely functional hospitals. Still, the majority remain trapped beneath the rubble, unable to be rescued, as "Israel" continues to obstruct the routes and operations of medical, Civil Defense, and rescue crews. 

This raises the total death toll in Gaza to 41,870, in addition to 97,166 injured, an overwhelming majority of whom are women and children. 

IOF commits massacres in mosque, school in Gaza

Gaza's Government Media Office announced on Sunday that the Israeli occupation army committed two brutal massacres in the Central Governorate (Deir al-Balah) by bombing a mosque and a school sheltering displaced persons, resulting in 26 martyrs and 93 injured in a preliminary toll.

"The occupation army carried out two horrific massacres in the Central Governorate by shelling the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Mosque, adjacent to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and Ibn Rushd School, both of which are housing hundreds of displaced people. As a result of these massacres, there are currently 24 martyrs and 93 injuries."

According to the statement, these two brutal massacres come after a series of attacks carried out by the occupation army, which bombed 27 houses, schools, and displacement centers across various governorates of the Gaza Strip in the past 48 hours. This ongoing bombardment has resulted in dozens of martyrs and injuries, coinciding with the dire health situation in Gaza, which is home to over 2.4 million people.
