On the 370th day of aggression against the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation continues with its airstrikes and artillery bombardments across various areas, including the al-Nuseirat and Jabalia camps, as well as the city of Khan Younis.
In the past 24 hours, the number of martyrs in Gaza has exceeded 72 Palestinians due to the Israeli attacks and shelling since Wednesday at dawn, primarily in the northern region, which is under siege by occupation forces.
A complete siege on the north
In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces have maintained their siege on the Jabalia camp for the sixth consecutive day, continuously sending in military reinforcements.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, three Palestinians were killed and several others were injured when the occupation forces bombed a residential home in al-Hoja, coinciding with a series of raids and artillery shelling.
Israeli artillery shelling also struck the city of Beit Lahia, particularly around the al-Tawam and al-Atatra areas in the northwest Gaza Strip. The occupation forces conducted intense raids near al-Tayeb Hall, south of Beit Lahia, and demolished residential buildings in the al-Tawam area, north of the Gaza Strip.
In this context, the Civil Defense in Gaza said that the occupation "destroyed the infrastructure in the northern governorate, making the process of moving through it almost impossible."
The Civil Defense reported that the occupation forces are enforcing a complete siege on the northern part of the Strip, effectively isolating it from Gaza City and blocking the entry of essential supplies since last Sunday. They noted that dozens of bodies remain trapped on the roads in the north, unable to be recovered due to the relentless and intense Israeli bombardment.
The Civil Defense also cautioned that evacuating hospitals in the north could result in a total collapse of the health system, exacerbating the suffering of the citizens in the area.
The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation force has killed over 125 Palestinians in the northern governorate, particularly in the Jabalia camp, over five consecutive days.
It also issued an urgent appeal to the international community and all humanitarian organizations to intervene and halt the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in the northern Gaza Strip. The office also called for efforts to deliver aid to the tens of thousands of displaced individuals who are being denied food by the occupation.
Continuous bombing of the central, southern Gaza Strip
Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelling struck the center of the al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
The artillery shelling also hit the Abu Mahadi area, located west of the new camp, north of the al-Nuseirat camp. Additionally, occupation forces opened fire on the homes of residents west of al-Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip.
In the southern Gaza Strip, local media reported the martyrdom of four Palestinians on Thursday due to an Israeli occupation army raid that targeted a house in the al-Fakhari area, east of Khan Younis.
An Israeli airstrike targeted a populated house southeast of Khan Younis.
The correspondent reported that six Palestinians were also killed due to Israeli shelling that struck a civilian car at the Bani Suhaila roundabout, east of Khan Younis, with the injured being transported to the Nasser Medical Complex in the city.
