On the 162nd day of the war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation continued bombing multiple areas of the Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of martyrs and injured Palestinians.
At dawn on Saturday, the government media office reported that the Israeli occupation army targeted over 12 residential buildings, resulting in a massacre of civilians, including children and women.
As reported by the media office, the occupation army committed a massacre in al-Nuseirat, in the central Gaza Strip after bombing a home belonging to the al-Tabatibi family. This attack resulted in the martyrdom of 36 Palestinians, predominantly children, including pregnant women.
The Government Media Office held the US administration, the international community, and the Israeli occupation responsible for the escalating crimes and massacres against defenseless civilians. It also held them accountable for the consequences and aftermath of these war crimes.
Local media reported that more than 80 civilians were martyred and dozens injured, with the majority being children and women, in Israeli airstrikes that targeted multiple homes and buildings in Gaza City, the Nuseirat camp, and the city of Rafah.
The media confirmed that the occupation forces bombed a seven-story residential building that housed displaced people near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. This resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens, with dozens still trapped under the rubble.
