The IOF committed a massacre at dawn on Sunday against the Abdul Ghafour family who reside in tents in Mawasi Khan Younis, as it bombed the area with a tank shell, leading to the death of 15 displaced people and wounding others.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent to Gaza reported that several citizens were injured as a result of gunfire directed at them by the IOF in the Abu Daqqa area, east of the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.
Our correspondent reported that IOF blew up residential neighborhoods in the town of Al-Qarara, northeast of the city of Khan Younis, noting that there were martyrs and wounded in the occupation’s bombing of a house in the Nuseirat camp after a family house was bombed.
Our correspondent also reported that several injured farmers arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, as a result of artillery shelling east of Deir al-Balah and al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The IOF dropped a missile on a house for the al-Aklouk family in the Al-Baraka area in Deir Al-Balah, where no injuries have been reported so far after the missile failed to explode.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported today that the number of Gazans murdered since October 7 has risen to 31,045 and those injured to 72,654 amid the ongoing Israeli genocide against Gaza.
Israeli occupation forces have committed 8 massacres against families in Gaza killing 85 Palestinians and injuring 130 others in 24 hours, the ministry added.
It further stressed that many victims remain under the rubble, as the IOF deliberately prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
The ministry reiterated that 72% of Palestinian victims are women and children, adding that the number of Palestinians killed by malnutrition and dehydration has risen to 25.

The situation in the north is tragic, where aid via land is denied despite repeated calls. Ramadan is approaching. The death toll continues to rise.

Nowhere in Palestine is safe
On Saturday, the Israeli occupation carried out several massacres against Palestinian civilians across different areas of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Nuseirat Camp, southern Khan Younis, and al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza, murdering dozens of martyrs.
Over 13 Palestinians, including children, were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on civilian homes in the Nuseirat Camp in central Gaza. Palestinian rescue teams reported that three children were pulled out from underneath the rubble of the residential complexes the IOF bombed in the town of al-Husaina in Nuseirat.
The area of al-Mufti and the vicinity of the power company were also bombed in the Nuseirat Camp.
Moreover, in central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the killing of five Palestinians following Israeli airstrikes on Deir al-Balah. The initial toll determined that dozens of civilians had been marked as missing as a result of the airstrikes, trapped under the rubble.
The Israeli occupation also launched more airstrikes spread across different areas of Gaza, resulting in higher death tolls. The body of a martyr was pulled out, alongside several injured Palestinians, from the rubble of a bombed house in al-Qoraan, in southern Deir al-Balah.
Two martyrs were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Shati refugee camp, while several others were injured. Rescue teams also reported that nine martyrs, including children, were killed on Saturday dawn in the Israeli bombardment of a house on al-Jalaa Street. Several Palestinians were wounded as well.
In south Gaza, Israeli airstrikes on al-Qarara in Khan Younis killed three martyrs, while three others were killed as the IOF targeted a group of civilians in Street 5 in southern Khan Younis. Meanwhile, rescue teams were able to recover the bodies of 10 martyrs that had been stuck beneath the rubble of destroyed homes.
