The Israeli forces persist in their aggression on the Gaza Strip for the fourteenth consecutive day, further targeting residential areas and facilities inhabited by civilians and perpetrating widespread acts of violence and massacres against Palestinian families.

In its latest report on Friday, the Palestinian Health Ministry revealed that the number of martyrs in Gaza has surpassed 4,100 with more than 13,000 wounded. This represents a catastrophic increase in the number of martyrs from 3,800 the day before.

Meanwhile, in the West Bank, the Ministry said the total number of Palestinians martyred by Israeli bullets since October 7 rose to 81. Just between Thursday and Friday, Israeli occupation forces killed 13 Palestinians in Tulkarm's Nour Shams camp, 5 of which were children.

Today, Palestinians mourned and buried 19 members of the Kurd family, amid reports by Al Mayadeen's correspondents that even cemeteries have not been spared and have become targets of the ongoing occupation assaults.

Tragedy struck west of Khan Yunis, where a woman was martyred and several others were wounded due to an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential house. Furthermore, two more bodies were brought to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, making them the latest victims of this aggression on the Strip.

Over the night, the Israeli forces increased the frequency and severity of their airstrikes, wreaking havoc across various regions of Gaza. War jets showed no discrimination between mosques and churches, bombarding them along with other civilian structures, as highlighted by reports from the ground.

For instance, the historical Great al-Omari Mosque in Jabaliya, north of the Gaza Strip, faced destructive bombing by the occupation forces.

Moreover, the Church of Saint Porphyrius, the third oldest church in the world and a sacred place for the Greek Orthodox community, was also bombarded, resulting in tens of martyrs among the Church's parish and civilians who sought refuge there from the relentless bombings. This massacre came two days after the Israeli occupation committed a heinous crime by targeting al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza, killing over 500 martyrs in a clear targeting of cadres, crews, and medical capabilities within the Strip.

Multiple residential buildings, notably in al-Zahraa city south of Gaza, faced catastrophic damage, forcing hundreds of residents to plead urgently for support and relief from humanitarian organizations. The occupation forces also unleashed their fury on al-Qastal towers located centrally in the Strip.

Tal al-Hawa neighborhood also came under violent airstrikes. As per reports, an entire house located on Yarmouk Street was obliterated, while its inhabitants were inside, leaving a trail of bodies buried beneath the debris.

Additionally, the occupation forces broadened their targets to include agricultural lands adjacent to the new Nuseirat market, causing additional injuries and amplifying the already dire humanitarian conditions.

On the healthcare front, there is an alarming deficiency of essential medical supplies, with surgeries now being conducted with limited or no anesthesia due to the depletion of medical reserves, as confirmed by ground reports.

Furthermore, the crucial task of searching for survivors among the rubble has been hampered due to inadequate availability of necessary equipment and machinery, slowing down rescue operations and adding to the prevailing despair and sorrow.
