The Israeli occupation continued its aggression against Gaza for the 18th day, killing dozens after bombs were dropped on homes and neighborhoods.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, announced that the Israeli occupation targeted the home of the director of Al-Durrah Children’s Hospital, Kamal Khattab, which led to the martyrdom of his wife and two daughters.
It is noteworthy that Al-Durrah Children's Hospital was evacuated shortly after the start of the aggression, as the Israeli occupation targeted it with white phosphorous.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported that there was Israeli artillery shelling east of Khan Yunis and the Central Governorate. A series of raids also targeted various parts of Khan Yunis, Hay al-Tuffah, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia.
At least 25 were martyred, and dozens were injured as the occupation bombed several homes in the Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Yunis, east of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli occupation forces violently targeted Al-Wahdat Street, west of Khan Yunis, amid the transportation of numerous casualties.
In Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip, at least two were martyred, and others were injured when the occupation hit it with an airstrike.
Meanwhile, several martyrs and wounded arrived at a hospital after the Israeli bombing of the city of Rafah.
Meanwhile, the Government Information Office in Gaza confirmed that “tangible changes were observed on the bodies of the martyrs, due to the occupation’s use of internationally prohibited weapons.”
The office stressed that the Israeli occupation is using “unconventional weapons and internationally banned ammunition” in its aggression against the Gaza Strip, noting “clear documentation of the occupation’s use of white phosphorus in areas of the Strip.”
Over 436 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in the past 24 hours, among which were 182 children, according to Iyad Al-Bazm, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza on Monday.
This brings the number of martyrs, killed by the Israeli genocidal attempt to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip, to over 5,000 with a total of 1.4 million people displaced after 181,000 homes were severely damaged.
This meant that as of now about 70% of the people of Gaza are displaced and about 1500 remain missing given that the means used to conduct search and rescue missions for Palestinians who remained under the rubble become very scarce.
In numbers, the Israelis have destroyed and damaged 177 schools, putting 32 out of service. 72 governmental facilities were severely damaged, 33 mosques were completely leveled and 3 churches were severely damaged.
