Israeli occupation forces continue their war on the Gaza Strip for the 398th consecutive day, launching numerous airstrikes and artillery bombardments, committing massacres against civilians amid a disastrous humanitarian situation caused by the Israeli-imposed siege and the forced displacement of millions of Palestinians.

For the 34th consecutive day, northern Gaza, particularly the Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia, endures severe Israeli siege and starvation amid heavy aerial and artillery attacks, with the province completely isolated from the rest of Gaza.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza said at least 15 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted Beit Lahia and the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent reported that Al-Awa Hospital, which itself is under Israeli bombardment, received the bodies of five martyrs from Tal al-Zaatar in besieged Jabalia, as well as the bodies of five other citizens killed in an Israeli strike targeting the home of the al-Assi family in the Beit Lahia project area in northern Gaza.

Meanwhile, Palestinian media reported injuries after Israeli drones of the Quadcopter type dropped explosive bombs near the gate of the Halima al-Saadia School in Jabalia al-Nazla, northern Gaza.

For the 16th day, Israeli forces forcibly obstructed the work of civil defense teams in northern Gaza due to ongoing targeting and aggression, leaving thousands of residents without humanitarian and medical assistance.

On October 23, the Israeli occupation forces targeted civil defense teams in northern Gaza, seized their vehicles, displaced most of their personnel to the central and southern areas of the Strip, and kidnapped nine of them, according to the Civil Defense in Gaza.

Appeals to facilitate entry of medical teams to northern Gaza

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza issued an urgent appeal, calling on international and United Nations organizations to deploy medical and surgical teams to the area and facilitate their access to northern hospitals.

The ministry also urged the Palestinian population in northern Gaza to donate blood at Al-Maamadani Hospital amid the continued Israeli aggression.

In southern Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces persist in their ground invasion of large neighborhoods in Rafah, ongoing since May 7.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported major explosions due to the Israeli bombing in Khan Younis.

In a related context, an Israeli airstrike targeted Block 12 in the al-Bureij camp, alongside intense gunfire in central Gaza.

Medical and civil defense teams retrieved the bodies and injuries from an Israeli strike on the home of the al-Saneh family in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
