At least 350 Palestinians have been killed over the past week in the Israeli bombardment of homes, shelters, and residential areas across the Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported.

The bodies of most martyrs remain in the streets or beneath the rubble, while others have been designated as missing persons, as rescue teams find it impossible to reach and retrieve them due to the lack of equipment and machinery needed, prompting limited individual efforts to attempt to carry out the task. 

Day 437: 'Israel' commits another gruesome massacre in Khan Younis

In the latest toll issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 437 of the ongoing genocide, the number of martyrs has reached 45,028, with 106,962 wounded since October 7, 2023.

The Israeli occupation committed seven massacres across the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, killing 52 Palestinians and injuring 203 others, according to the ministry.

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its relentless genocidal campaign in Gaza, targeting five makeshift shelters for displaced Palestinians over the past few hours. 

In the northern district, the Israeli army destroyed several residential buildings and heavily fired on homes in eastern Jabalia town. Meanwhile, its machinery fired intensely toward homes in the al-Saftawi area west of Jabalia.

In Beit Lahia, alongside Israeli artillery shelling near Kamal Adwan Hospital, the occupation forces fired at anyone moving in the hospital courtyards. Additionally, the occupation bombed a house belonging to the al-Muzayni family, resulting in the martyrdom of at least five people and injuries of several others.

Meanwhile, in central Gaza, the occupation's artillery shelled the area west of the al-Nuseirat refugee camp. Among the shelters targeted by the occupation was UNRWA's Abdul Aziz School, located near the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, where over 20 Palestinians were massacred. 

Additionally, the occupation launched artillery strikes on the eastern areas of al-Fukhari and Khuzaa towns, east of Khan Younis, while its forces heavily fired toward them.

In the northern part of the strip, the occupation demolished residential buildings in the south, specifically in the al-Jneineh neighborhood, east of Rafah. Israeli warships also fired several shells toward its coastline.

Charred bodies found after Israeli raid on school shelter in Gaza

Gaza's Civil Defense announced the martyrdom of at least 15 Palestinians and the injury of dozens of others Sunday following an Israeli occupation forces' raid on a school sheltering displaced people in Beit Hanoun, the northern Gaza Strip.

The occupation forces stormed Khalil Oweida school in Beit Hanoun after a siege that lasted for hours, accompanied by gunfire and artillery shelling of the surrounding area. This resulted in the killing and injury of several of the displaced people inside the school.

The Israeli occupation army forced women, children, and the elderly sheltering in the school to flee again toward Gaza City and detained dozens of men sheltering there.

The raid on the school, which housed around 1,500 displaced persons, continued, despite the bodies of martyrs and the wounded scattered on the school grounds and surrounding roads.

The Gaza Civil Defense announced in a statement that there were charred bodies of Palestinian victims inside the school.

It was reported that "between 10 to 15 bodies were burned due to the fires caused by the heavy Israeli bombardment that targeted the school’s rooms and facilities."

At least 40 people were martyred after the occupation bombed residential areas in Beit Hanoun and Khalil Awida School, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
