New information from The Palestinian government in Gaza's information center has revealed that the number of Palestinians martyred by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) has climbed to 16, 248 and an additional 43, 616 Palestinians have been seriously wounded.

According to the statement by the center, the "bodies admitted to hospitals has increased to 16,248... The number of missing persons who may be under the rubble has reached 7,600, and the number of injured has reached 43,616."

The Health Ministry in Gaza revealed days ago that 70% of those killed are women and children.

This comes as the government media office in Gaza previously reported that the Israeli occupation committed 23 massacres in just 24 hours, in which 316 Palestinians were killed, with hundreds still stuck under the rubble.

Furthermore, an official from the Gaza government's media office informed Al Mayadeen on Sunday that the al-Shujaiya neighborhood massacre carried out by the Israeli occupation forces was one of the most horrific incidents, with more than 500 casualties reported.

In addition, contrary to the Israeli and American lies purported regarding 'safe zones' in Gaza, Hamas spokesman in Lebanon Osama Hamdan revealed Tuesday that nowhere is safe

During a press conference, Hamdan detailed that "There are no safe zones in the entire Gaza Strip, despite the statements of the United States and the propaganda of the occupier [Israel], because the occupier has turned the entire territory into a zone of total war by its barbaric machine aimed at children and women."

The Israeli occupation committed new massacres against Palestinians across the Strip on Sunday, in addition to targeting multiple hospitals and medical and civil teams, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Our correspondent reported that a new Israeli massacre was committed at the gates of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The Israeli occupation carried out strikes targeting the hospital's entrance, killing and wounding tens of civilians. 

After promoting it as 'safe', IOF say south Gaza invasion underway

The Israeli occupation forces' Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has said that the occupation's ground invasion in the southern part of the Gaza Strip has already begun.

Halevi announced during a meeting with the Gaza Division's soldiers that "It will be no less powerful than [the invasion in northern Gaza], it will have no less results," he emphasized, adding that Hamas commanders will meet Israeli occupation forces "everywhere".

On the contrary, at least eight Israeli soldiers were killed Monday in an ambush to the north of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The invading infantry force was lured into a minefield set by al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing. The Resistance faction announced that one of its fighters was sent to the site of the ambush and eliminated occupation soldiers who survived the detonation, from point-blank range.

Almost 2 million forcibly displaced in Gaza since Oct. 7: UNRWA

In its statement on Monday, the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that almost 1.9 million people, approximately 80% of the population, have been displaced in Gaza since October 7.

The statement added that as of December 2, the number of UNRWA staffers killed since the start of the war on Gaza has reached 111.

This comes two days after the last UNRWA statement which warned that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, considering the dire situation they are subjected to, could either be killed by indiscriminate Israeli bombing or from diseases that are wildly spreading across the Strip.

Over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in📍#Gaza - including over 6,000 children and 4,000 women - since the war began.
