Seven Palestinians were martyred and others were injured following the occupation's bombing of a house in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. In addition, there were martyrs in the al-Daraj neighborhood, in central Gaza City, where several people were injured during Israeli raids targeting a house in the area.
The occupation also targeted several areas in the central Gaza Strip, with helicopters firing heavy machine-gun fire around the Wadi Gaza Bridge. This coincided with artillery shelling in the northern regions of the Nuseirat camp.
Israeli helicopters also fired intensely at the east of the Bureij camp, while occupation military vehicles targeted the southeast of the al-Maghazi camp. Additionally, an Israeli Apache military helicopter opened fire on the eastern and northern areas of the al-Maghazi camp.
