The Israeli occupation carried out a deadly strike in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, on Thursday, targeting Palestinian police officers attempting to regulate flour prices and manage public markets amid a large civilian crowd. The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of 17 people and left dozens injured. 

This new massacre adds to the escalating toll of Israeli bombardments across the Gaza Strip. Earlier in the day, two Palestinians were martyred and others injured in a separate Israeli strike near the al-Baraka junction in Deir al-Balah.

Israeli shelling hits displacement center

In Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Amr Ibn Al-As school in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, where dozens of displaced families had sought refuge. According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, at least nine people were martyred in the attack.

Meanwhile, in the southern neighborhood of al-Zeitoun, four more Palestinians were martyred and several others wounded in a separate Israeli bombardment.

Displaced shelters come under attack

The southern areas of the Strip also came under intense bombardment. In Khan Younis, five displaced persons were martyred and several others wounded when Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering civilians in al-Mawasi area. Another four people were martyred in a separate airstrike on the Armeida area of Bani Suheila, in the east.

Additionally, Israeli naval forces also opened heavy and repeated fire toward the coast of Khan Younis, while intense artillery fire was reported in western Rafah.

The attacks come amid continued warnings from international organizations over the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and repeated calls for a ceasefire. Despite this, Israeli forces have escalated their strikes, further compounding the suffering of civilians already facing displacement, famine, and disease.

Gaza's health ministry reports staggering toll

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 103 Palestinians were martyred and 219 injured in the past 24 hours alone. Since October 7, 2023, the total death toll has reached 56,259 martyrs and 132,458 wounded.
