The Israeli occupation forces continued targeting civilian infrastructure including residential buildings for 21 consecutive days.

More than 100 people have been martyred due to Israeli airstrikes since Thursday night, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Israeli occupation forces' artillery shelling and use of attack helicopters carried on into Friday morning in Khan Yunis, our correspondent reported. He also added that at least 15 civilians were killed in their homes while tens of others were injured by Israeli airstrikes in the same area on Friday morning.

In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli bombardment killed children, adding to the toll of more than 2913 murdered children during the Israeli aggression.

No safe zone in Gaza

The southern part of the Gaza Strip was allegedly a safe zone, according to the Israeli occupation. Earlier it had forcibly displaced civilians from the northern Gaza Strip instructing them to take refuge in southern areas.

However, Israeli practices have proven that there is no place safe from Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip. In fact, the occupation has targeted hospitals, mosques, churches, and schools.

Moreover, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that 14 family members were killed in a bombardment that targeted a home in Hay al-Zaytoun in the eastern Gaza Strip.

The US-supported genocide of Gaza has pushed locals to bury the dead in mass graves while 1,950 were reported missing; a large portion of which remain under the rubble due to the lack of excavation equipment.

Humanitarian aid, water blocked

To add to the atrocities, "Israel" has blocked humanitarian aid from entering the Strip, it has also cut off water, an action which amounts to a war crime.

"Israel's" policy to only allow a select few aid trucks to enter the Strip through the Rafah crossing, has made medical and fuel supplies critically low. Hospitals are struggling to provide services to thousands of injured Palestinians.

The lack of fuel, on the other hand, makes hundreds of critically injured Palestinians and terminally ill patients

US refuses to acknowledge Gaza genocide

On Wednesday US President Joe Biden said that he has "no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using" for the death toll in the Gaza Strip.

In response, the Ministry of Health in Gaza released a 212-page document that includes the names and Identification numbers of 7,028 Palestinians martyred by Israeli bombardment since October 7.

The Biden administration is refusing to hold the Israeli government accountable for its actions. Instead, Joe Biden had declared his administration's unwavering support to the occupation, supplying it with bombs and the needed diplomatic cover to kill Palestinian children and civilians.

US officials assert that "Israel" has the right to defend itself, as the latter expands its breaches of international law and expands its record of war crimes.
