The Israeli occupation continues to carry out its genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip, targeting the vulnerable, including displaced Palestinians and little children.

Four civilians were killed, including two children, during the early hours of Monday after the Israeli occupation forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

This came after the IOF massacred at least 110 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, particularly north Gaza, on Sunday.

Israeli forces carried out massacres in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, and the al-Bureij camp in the central region, bombing residential buildings while civilians were still inside. These attacks resulted in dozens of martyrs and injuries.

The spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, stated in press remarks that they received calls for help from residents of a house bombed by the occupation in Beit Lahia. He added, "But we are unable to reach them."

Basal noted that the building destroyed by the occupation in the Beit Lahia area was housing around 70 Palestinians, adding, "We have received reports indicating that at least 40 bodies are trapped under the rubble of the targeted building in Beit Lahia."

Israeli forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea, and air, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the martyrdom of close to 44,000 people, most of whom are women and children, and the injury of more than 103,000 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, while ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
