During the last 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed four massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 55 people and injuring 132 others, the Gaza Health Ministry confirmed on Thursday.
As of October 24, which marks the 384th day of the war, the Israeli occupation has killed 42,847 Palestinians and injured 100,544 since the start of its war on Gaza, according to the ministry's latest tally.
Thousands remain either buried under the rubble or unaccounted for, due to the Israeli aggression and the inability of Civil Defense teams to reach them. This is a result of the systematic destruction of their resources, equipment, and civilian infrastructure leading to bombarded locations across the region and even the killing of their personnel.
Israeli massacres central, southern Gaza
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that 17 people were killed and 42 others injured, the majority of whom were children and elderly, in an Israeli bombardment that struck al-Shuhada School, which is currently sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Our correspondent reported that Israeli artillery shelling and drone strikes also targeted the eastern section of the al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
In the northern Gaza Strip, the occupation bombed the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, while continuing its siege and intensive aggression on the area for the 20th consecutive day.
IOF besiege Jabalia for the 20th consecutive day
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in northern Gaza reported that occupation forces opened fire from helicopters on the Jabalia camp, resulting in injuries among several civilians in the area. Meanwhile, Israeli artillery and drones targeted the streets of the Beit Lahia project.
According to our correspondent, displaced individuals were also injured in Jabalia al-Nazla due to an Israeli bombardment that targeted them.
The occupation forces continued their raids on homes in the northern Gaza Strip, targeting them with machine guns, artillery, and drone strikes. They also attacked shelters while blocking the entry of humanitarian aid, forcing families to flee the area.
Following the famine in the northern Gaza Strip, our correspondent reported a similar situation in the central and southern regions, highlighting the ongoing Israeli blockade and the depletion of all goods, including flour.
IOF prevent civil defense from working
Meanwhile, Gaza's Civil Defense announced a complete suspension of its services in northern Gaza, highlighting that Israeli occupation forces detained five of its members in the Sheikh Zayed area and abducted them to an unknown location. Additionally, the occupation has detained at least 200 Palestinians from Jabalia camp.
The Civil Defense stated that its operations had completely halted in the northern governorate due to the disastrous situation, leaving citizens in the North without any humanitarian services.
In this context, the Civil Defense announced that its crews were directly targeted on Wednesday in the Beit Lahia Project area. This attack is seen as part of an Israeli strategy to empty northern areas from citizens and to obstruct all efforts to secure humanitarian or medical assistance.
Israeli drones were hovering over the area where Civil Defense and medical services teams were stationed in the Beit Lahia Project, demanding that they vacate their vehicles immediately and proceed to the Indonesian Hospital. The occupation army is stationed there and only allows passage after thorough inspection and search.
The statement noted that as the crews attempted to evacuate the area, an Israeli aircraft fired a missile directly at them, injuring three members with various wounds. Additionally, the only fire truck providing services in the northern areas was targeted with artillery shells.
