The Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip has persisted for 268 days, marked by ongoing bombardment of Gaza City's Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood and southern areas near Rafah. This is coupled with ground invasion attempts by Israeli forces, prompting fierce confrontations with Palestinian resistance fighters.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed on Sunday that the occupation targeted the Shuja'iyya and al-Tuffah neighborhoods east of Gaza City, as well as the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood to the south. Additionally, the occupation targeted the eastern neighborhoods in the central region of the Strip.
In the southern Gaza Strip, our correspondent reported that the occupation forces targeted the al-Shuhada Junction within the Shaboura neighborhood as Israeli tanks fired west of Rafah city, extending from the al-Shakoush area to Mawasi Khan Younis.
The Israeli occupation conducted two airstrikes targeting the towns of Abasan and Khuza'a east of Khan Younis.
'War of extermination'
The bombing of neighborhoods in Gaza City and areas in Rafah continues as part of the ongoing intensive targeting by the occupation, which has persisted for several days. Earlier on Saturday, there was a new displacement of civilians in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, as reported by our correspondent. Additionally, the occupation forces arrested a significant number of women, including elderly women.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent described what the occupation has been committing in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood for days as a real war of extermination with tanks and planes.
Our correspondent reported that occupation tanks fired intensely toward tents housing displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah, where the occupation also burned the tents down.
During the ongoing Israeli aggression spanning approximately nine months, the death toll has tragically risen to 37,834 martyrs, with 86,858 wounded since October 7th, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Saturday.
It's important to note that this statistic includes victims who were registered after arriving at hospitals. However, several victims remain trapped under rubble or on roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are hindered from reaching them due to ongoing bombings and obstacles created by occupation forces targeting rescue operations.
