The Gaza Strip has witnessed a new wave of massacres, with dozens martyred and many more wounded in a series of Israeli strikes targeting homes, schools, aid points, and journalists, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza.
From dawn until morning, the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, came under heavy bombardment. Nine Palestinians, including six children, were martyred in an Israeli strike on the area.
Israeli aircraft also targeted Al-Falah School in al-Zaytoun, wounding several people. Civil Defense teams confirmed that three injured people were transported from inside the school following the attack. Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, an Israeli drone strike targeted a residential home in Khan Younis, killing seven people.

The Israeli occupation also launched artillery shelling and helicopter gunfire east of al-Bureij camp in central Gaza, and artillery bombardments on al-Zaytoun and al-Shuja’iyya neighborhoods east of Gaza City.
Additionally, Al-Awda Hospital in al-Nuseirat reported receiving five martyrs in the past 24 hours, including a child, along with 26 injured. These casualties resulted from strikes on gatherings at an aid distribution point south of Wadi Gaza and bombardments on areas in central Gaza. Seven of the wounded were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital for further treatment.
Journalists killed in Al-Shifa hospital strike
At dawn, an Israeli drone targeted the journalists’ tent in front of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, killing journalists Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqea, and Mohammad al-Khalidi, photographers Ibrahim Zahir and Mohammed Noufal, and injuring journalist Mohammed Subh.
This latest attack raises the number of journalists martyred by the occupation during the ongoing genocide to 238, per Gaza's Government Media Office.
