The Israeli occupation's genocidal onslaught in the Gaza Strip continues for the 447th day, resulting in massive losses across the entire territory, between killed, severely injured, and missing Palestinians, the overwhelming majority of whom are women and children.
Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres, murdering 38 Palestinians and injuring 137 others, raising the death toll to 45,399 martyrs with 107,940 injured, according to the daily report issued by the Ministry of Health Gaza.
While several victims were transported to the partially functioning hospitals across the enclave, countless others remain trapped beneath the rubble, as rescue operations have neared impossible due to constant Israeli obstruction.

During a series of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, at least four people were killed, while others were injured, as a result of the occupation bombing a house on the old Gaza Street, in Jabalia al-Balad, while people were injured as a result of targeting in Jabalia al-Nazla.
The occupation carried out a heavy bombardment targeting the area around Kamal Adwan Hospital, resulting in the killing of two ambulance crew members. Additionally, the body of a female martyr was recovered from outside the hospital gate after an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on the entrance.
Israeli helicopters also launched heavy fire at the southern areas of Gaza City, targeting the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun and al-Sabra, while simultaneously, the occupation forces initiated artillery shelling in the same regions.
At least eight martyrs and several wounded were reported following an Israeli bombardment that targeted a house in the al-Sabra neighborhood. Meanwhile, several martyrs and wounded individuals were brought to the Baptist Hospital after the occupation forces targeted a group of people on al-Maghribi Street in Gaza City.

In the central Gaza Strip, occupation artillery renewed its shelling of areas east of al-Masdar village, southeast of al-Maghazi camp. The Israeli targeting also reached the southern Gaza Strip, where helicopters fired on the al-Fakhari area, east of Khan Younis, while artillery shelled the town of Khuza’a, also located east of the city.
Two people were also killed in an Israeli drone strike in the Musbah area, north of Rafah city.
It is worth noting that at dawn, occupation forces detonated a booby-trapped robot in front of Kamal Adwan Hospital, causing shrapnel to reach the surgical departments and patients' accommodations. As a result, Dr. Hassan Dabous, who was on duty, was seriously injured in the attack.
In the al-Nuseirat camp, occupation aircraft directly targeted a broadcast vehicle belonging to the al-Quds Today channel, located in front of the gate of al-Awda Hospital. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of five journalists: Faisal Abu al-Qumsan, Ayman al-Jadi, Ibrahim al-Sheikh Ali, Fadi Hassouna, and Mohammad al-Lad'ah.
