In the Gaza Strip, Israeli Occupation Forces continue to target unarmed Palestinians seeking to cross from the north of the Strip towards the South, which "Israel" alleged would be safer.
In Gaza, nowhere is safe, according to images, videos, and interviews emerging from the Strip where the Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is being live-streamed.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli raids have targeted a Palestinian truck transporting displaced residents from the northern part of Gaza toward the south.
After being targeted near the city of al-Zahra, southwest of Gaza City, several of the wounded were transported to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital alongside others who had been martyred as a result of the attack.
This happened while the occupation forces conducted, simultaneously, another attack in another part of the Strip where they drenched one area of Beit Lahia with smoke grenades.
Meanwhile, still, the IOF further targeted the historic Gaza Municipality building in the center of the city, thus causing the complete collapse of all municipal services.
These targeted attacks were not all, as the occupation continues to commit genocide by targeting residential buildings, causing the collapse of multiple buildings over the heads of their occupants.

Patients reaching hospitals to die there
And with the medical system having collapsed, ambulances being targeted and fuel scarcity alongside destroyed infrastructure, several survivors who were rescued and transported onto ambulances still could not manage to reach hospitals to receive proper treatment.
These attacks were partly, but not fully, part of a series of aggressive rings of fire across the Strip. Among those, were rings of fire established in the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital and the martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital, given that other hospitals in the region have gone fully out of service.
In the South, where Palestinians are allegedly safe from the hysteric raids, several were martyred as they searched for wood to burn for warmth amid the forced displacement crisis, after an Israeli warplane dropped a bomb over their heads in northwestern Rafah, according to our correspondent.
Similarly, several injuries were recorded in the vicinity of Khan Yunis, south of the Strip, following an Israeli raid.

IOF continue to besiege Al-Shifa Hospital, detain medical workers
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the occupation's tanks have renewed their efforts to storm the Al-Shifa Medical Complex from the southern side.
Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces bulldozed the areas in the vicinity of the maternity section at Shifa Hospital, adding that IOF tanks are opening fire on anyone attempting to leave.
He also added that the IOF detained a number of medical workers and technical staff at the hospital.
The medical director at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Iyad Al-Jabari, told Al Mayadeen that the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital is disastrous.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital facing shutdown
Al-Jabari added that about 460 patients and injured people are receiving treatment at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, exceeding three times its capacity.
He also addressed the difficulty of meeting the hospital's needs for fuel: warning of an imminent catastrophe.
"We can no longer provide intensive care and treatment for some of the wounded whose injuries are critical," he warned.
Our correspondent had earlier reported that the hospital is under threat of closure due to the imminent depletion of fuel which would mean a major health disaster for Gaza.
