On Saturday, the Israeli occupation carried out several massacres against Palestinian civilians across different areas of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Nuseirat Camp, southern Khan Younis, and al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza, murdering dozens of martyrs.
Over 13 Palestinians, including children, were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on civilian homes in the Nuseirat Camp in central Gaza. Palestinian rescue teams reported that three children were pulled out from underneath the rubble of the residential complexes the IOF bombed in the town of al-Husaina in Nuseirat.
The area of al-Mufti and the vicinity of the power company were also bombed, in the Nuseirat Camp.
Moreover in central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the killing of five Palestinians following Israeli airstrikes on Deir al-Balah. The initial toll determined that tens of civilians had been marked as missing persons as a result of the airstrikes.

The Israeli occupation also launched more airstrikes spread across different areas of Gaza, resulting in higher death tolls. The body of a martyr was pulled out, alongside several injured Palestinians, from the rubble of a bombed house in al-Qoraan, in southern Deir al-Balah.
Two martyrs were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Shati refugee camp, while several others were injured. Rescue teams also reported that nine martyrs, including children, were killed on Saturday dawn in the Israeli bombardment of a house on al-Jalaa Street. Several Palestinians were wounded as well.
In south Gaza, Israeli airstrikes on al-Qarara in Khan Younis killed three martyrs, while three others were killed as the IOF targeted a group of civilians in Street 5 in southern Khan Younis. Meanwhile, rescue teams were able to recover the bodies of 10 martyrs that had been stuck beneath the rubble of destroyed homes.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that several martyrs were killed in an Israeli bombing of a group of citizens in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis. The IOF blew up residential towers in Hamad, north of Khan Younis, and a residential square near a park in the al-Amal neighborhood west of the city. Medical teams at the European Hospital announced the arrival of eight martyrs to the hospital.
On Gaza's coast near Rafah, Israeli airstrikes went as far as to target Palestinian fishermen's boats.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Saturday that the number of Palestinians killed since October 7 has risen to 30,960 and those injured 72,524.
The Israeli occupation forces have committed 10 massacres in the past day, killing 82 Palestinians and injuring 122 others, the ministry reported.
The ministry added that many victims remain under the rubble as the IOF deliberately prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
72% of Palestinian victims since October 7 are women and children, the ministry stressed.
