The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues to take a devastating toll, with 86 martyrs and 287 injuries reported in the past 24 hours, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Gaza hospitals are overwhelmed as the casualties from the recent attacks continue to pour in.
Since March 18, 2025, the total number of martyrs has reached 1,249, with 3,022 injuries reported. The overall toll from the Israeli aggression, which began on October 7, 2023, has now risen to a staggering 50,609 martyrs and 115,063 injuries, according to the Health Ministry.
The dire situation in Gaza continues to worsen as the international community grapples with the impact of this brutal escalation.
Earlier today, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) infiltrated the northern Gaza Strip and clashed with Palestinian Resistance fighters.
IOF tanks advanced in the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood in northern Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, adding that clashes were ongoing between Israeli troops and Palestinian Resistance fighters.
Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 12 reported that the operation conducted by the IOF's 252nd Division in Al-Shujaiya was supported by a wide wave of airstrikes, and Yediooth Ahronoth reported that "the Israeli army is expanding the buffer zone on Gaza's border," noting that "252nd Division troops are operating at the outskirts of Al-Shujaiya neighborhood."
This comes as the Israeli Occupation has killed more than a hundred people in the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, as part of its renewed war on Gaza after "Israel" ditched the ceasefire agreement in favor of a US proposal that ignores that original deal.
Israeli aggression on Gaza kills 112 Palestinians in 24 hours
Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed at least 112 Palestinians since dawn on Thursday, with 71 of the victims reported in Gaza City, an Al Mayadeen correspondent in the blockaded Strip reported.
The Israeli military targeted a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City's al-Tuffah neighborhood, killing 31 people, including women, children, and the elderly, while three others remain missing. Dozens were injured in the attack.
Among the victims were 18 children, a woman, and an elderly person, the Gaza government media office stated.
The Israeli air force also launched intense strikes on multiple schools across Gaza City, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, the Israeli regime has so far bombed 229 displacement and shelter centers in a flagrant violation of international law.
"This brutal Israeli aggression comes amid an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe," the office continued. "The health sector is on the verge of total collapse due to the destruction of hospitals and the ongoing blockade, making it extremely difficult to provide medical care to the wounded."
