The Israeli occupation forces continue their land, air, and sea aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 285th consecutive day.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that two Palestinians were killed as a result of Israeli shelling that targeted the al-Shakoush area northwest of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.
Our correspondent reported that in the middle of the Gaza Strip, Israeli military vehicles opened fire east of the al-Bureij and al-Maghazi refugee camps.
Additionally, he noted that occupation forces' vehicles are present east of Deir al-Balah city, with helicopters opening fire north of the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. He added that the occupation launched dozens of raids on the central region, concentrated in al-Nuseirat, also targeting the northwest of the new camp in al-Nuseirat.
Nine were martyred and dozens were injured when the occupation forces bombed the al-Nuseirat camp in Gaza.
The occupation's artillery also targeted the eastern areas of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, as well as the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood.
Israeli aggression exacerbates humanitarian crisis
Al Mayadeen's correspondent highlighted the severe water crisis in Deir al-Balah, noting that the area's last remaining wells have ceased operations due to fuel shortage. He pointed out that hunger has driven some people to eat grass and leaves, causing several cases of poisoning.
On their end, Doctors Without Borders confirmed that with each attack, medical teams in Gaza face immense pressures, exacerbated by a strained health system. The organization emphasized that hospitals in Gaza are lacking even the most basic necessities, which could result in more civilian casualties.
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, committing horrific massacres against civilians, which led to several martyrs after the occupation bombed different areas in the Gaza Strip.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school of al-Razi in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday, where many displaced families were taking refuge. That said, 23 Palestinians were killed in the horrific massacre and dozens were injured.
