As the genocide reaches its 339th day, a series of Israeli airstrikes struck homes earlier on Monday in the al-Bureij and the Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza, resulting in the killing of seven Palestinians and injuries to several others.
The targeted attacks hit residential areas, causing significant casualties and damage, and adding to the devastating situation in the besieged territory.
In a related context, Israeli warplanes bombed a residence in the al-Bureij camp, resulting in the killing of four Palestinians and injuries to others who were transferred to al-Awda Hospital, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
One of the main reasons I share these hideous videos is that Western journalists must never be allowed to say they did not really know what was happening in their name in Gaza. https://t.co/RIMGnc1a7C

In a separate attack, Israeli warplanes bombed a house on al-Daawa Street, north of the Nuseirat camp, killing three individuals and injuring several others.
Meanwhile, the Civil Defense confirmed that four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Sabra area near the Al-Istijaba Mosque in southern Gaza City on Sunday.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported the killing of a woman and her child in an Israeli assault on residential areas in the al-Manara neighborhood, southeast of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Our correspondent also reported the retrieval of two bodies in the Shouka area of Rafah and noted that Israeli artillery had targeted the northwest of Rafah in southern Gaza.
As we slept last night, the Western backed #GazaHolocaust continued.

It is worth noting that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli war in October has risen to 40,972 and those injured to 94,761, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on Sunday.
Polio vaccination campaign in Gaza continues amid genocide
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported on Sunday progress in its polio vaccination campaign, with 69% of children aged from birth to 10 years receiving the first dose of the vaccine. This comes seven days into the campaign's launch, which is currently focusing on the Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis governorates, as well as adjacent areas.
By Saturday evening, 441,647 children had been vaccinated, with a nearly even split between genders: 49% female and 51% male.
The campaign is now moving forward in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing Israeli genocide, health teams from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, UNRWA, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF are persevering with their efforts.
They face considerable risks due to the continuous hostilities in the region, which complicate their ability to commute between vaccination centers.
