According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, more than 500 martyrs died during the past 24 hours.
He pointed out that this morning, the occupation's targeting of a house in Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip led to the death of at least ten martyrs from the Abu Dan family.
He also confirmed the death toll of five martyrs in the bombing of a house east of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, pointing to another bombing that targeted the Japanese neighborhood, west of Khan Yunis.
The correspondent confirmed the presence of martyrs and injured when the occupation army targeted the Al-Iman Mosque in the Al-Sabra neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern occupied Palestine indicated that occupation aircraft launched at least seven raids within 20 minutes on the Beit Hanoun area in the northern Gaza Strip.
The occupation forces also targeted a house in the Kamal Adwan Hospital's vicinity in the Beit Lahia project.
The government media office in the Gaza Strip confirmed that fuel had not entered the Strip since the beginning of the aggression, "which heralds a health catastrophe that would immediately lead to the death of 140 wounded and patients using ventilators," according to the Ministry of Health spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qudra.
It is noteworthy that last night was considered one of the most violent nights in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli aggression after the occupation committed more than 25 massacres that led to the death of around 400 martyrs and hundreds of wounded.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the death toll had increased to 4,741 martyrs and 15,898 wounded, as a result of the ongoing aggression on Gaza for the 17th day in a row.
