UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini revealed that a separate Israeli aggression on Monday on another UN shelter in Khan Yunis resulted in the martyrdom of six displaced individuals.

Earlier in the day, the Health Ministry reported that the death toll rose to over 25,700 martyred and the number of injured reached 63,740.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that within the span of 24 hours, the IOF committed a total of 24 massacres killing 210 and injuring 386 others.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) further announced that the IOF targeted its headquarters in Khan Younis, specifically its northern gate which, according to our correspondent, is the main portal for requesting ambulances in case of bombing.

This resulted in the martyrdom of 3 displaced Palestinians and the injury of several others, adding that the bombing also targeted the association’s communication centers.
