The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Friday an increase in the number of martyrs due to the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip to 11,078, with a total of 4,506 children included.
Another 50 martyrs were reported earlier in the day in the occupation's targeting of Al-Buraq school in the Nasr neighborhood.
According to the Government's Media Office, the IOF's tanks were positioned only 200 meters away from the school when the attack occurred.

The IOF has claimed multiple times that the southern areas of the Strip were "safer" than the north and repeatedly urged the North's residents to move southward as part of a displacement scheme.

In a statement, the director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex wrote, "Today was a day of war on hospitals," further expressing concerns that the IOF might target the entire medical complex.
Describing the crisis faced by hospitals due to the blockade, he said that the situation was "tragic in every sense of the word," emphasizing that medical teams are unable to perform surgical operations. The responsibility for the patients and the wounded at Al-Shifa Hospital was placed on the world as a whole.
He highlighted that the displaced individuals within the hospital premises remain without food or water, emphasizing that the international community "has not provided us with a single drop of water or even a liter of fuel, and we are in a real crisis."
