Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that 82 Palestinians were martyred and 262 others injured in the past 24 hours amid "Israel's" relentless bombardment across the Strip.
Since the beginning of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, the death toll has reached 53,655, with 121,950 people injured.
Since March 18, the date "Israel" broke the ceasefire and resumed the genocide, 3,509 Palestinians were killed and 9,909 wounded, reflecting a sharp escalation in the intensity of attacks.
It's worth noting that more than 30 Palestinians have been killed since midnight as the Israeli occupation intensified its bombardment of the Gaza Strip amid the latest wave of attacks focused heavily on the southern regions, particularly Khan Younis and Rafah, resulting in widespread civilian casualties and destruction of residential areas.
In the past few hours, 11 Palestinians were killed and 13 injured when a house on al-Nuzha Street in Jabalia al-Balad, northern Gaza, was targeted. In a separate strike on a building opposite Sultan Tower in the same area, a child was killed and 22 others were wounded.
The Israeli occupation also targeted a house near the Othman Mosque in the Bir al-Na'ja area, west of Jabalia camp, carrying out an airstrike on another home at the entrance to Bir al-Na'ja in the al-Faluja area, west of the camp.
The occupation also carried out an airstrike targeting areas surrounding the al-Faluja cemetery west of Jabalia camp, amid continued artillery shelling and gunfire towards areas northwest of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
Moreover, since midnight, occupation forces launched a series of strikes across the Gaza Strip, with a heavy focus on Khan Younis in the south, particularly its eastern areas, which had previously been threatened with evacuation orders.
Artillery shelling struck northern Rafah and Khan Younis, while Israeli warplanes targeted the region's southern and eastern districts.
