In the latest toll issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 436 of the ongoing genocide, the number of martyrs has reached 44,976, with 106,759 wounded since October 7, 2023.
The Israeli occupation committed five massacres across the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, killing 46 Palestinians and injuring 135 others, according to the Ministry.
At dawn Sunday, Israeli warplanes and artillery targeted Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, while occupation forces demolished entire residential blocs.
Overnight, in the northern Gaza Strip, strikes and explosives planted by troops destroyed homes in the Jabalia and Beit Lahia, as Israeli mechanized forces fired their guns at the Saftawi area.
Homes in Gaza City were also targeted, where 14 people were killed and another 30 were injured in Gaza City. Strikes targeted the homes of the Abu Iskandar and Arouk families in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, while another strike targeted a house on al-Nafaq Street, where Palestinians were either killed or injured.
In the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, in southern Gaza City, an airstrike killed at least seven people, while several other bodies remain to be recovered by authorities, as they are stuck underneath the piles of rubble resulting from the strike.
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces bombed the al-Nuseirat refugee camp, using both warplanes and artillery multiple times.
Another strike targeted tents sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, injuring eight people who were transferred to nearby hospitals. In western Deir al-Balah, the Durra Stadium, also housing Palestinians, was struck by occupation forces.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli attack helicopters fired two missiles at the al-Bayouk family home in Khan Younis.
