GAZA – As the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip enters its 70th day in a row, dozens of innocent civilians were brutally murdered since last night in a nonstop Israeli bombardment campaign targeted various areas in the Gaza Strip, WAFA News Agency reported.
The Israeli bombardment intensified this morning, focusing particularly on Gaza City, where the majority of the casualties occurred, local and medical sources said.
The sources confirmed that at least 15 people were killed and dozens injured in the Zaytoun neighborhood, east of the city, as Israeli military drones fired missiles towards groups of civilians in the streets. Among the victims were a significant number of children and women. The continuous airstrikes made it nearly impossible for ambulances to reach the casualties.
In the Zaytoun area, Israeli artillery targeted six inhabited houses, resulting in additional casualties. Ten of the victims were transported to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital for medical treatment. Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelled homes near Salah al-Din Street south of the city, causing dozens of injuries.
Meantime, Israeli warplanes destroyed the vendor stalls in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, along with ten inhabited houses, killing at least nine civilians and injuring 25 others.
In the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, Israeli artillery fired ten shells, once again hitting the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School for the second time. This attack resulted in four deaths and nine injuries, with the majority of the wounded being children.
The Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City also faced rocket and artillery attacks, causing 20 fatalities and numerous injuries. Additionally, invading Israeli forces detained 25 individuals, aged between 15 and 55, after forcing them to strip naked.
In the areas of Nasr and Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza City, heavy gunfire from Israeli drones, missile airstrikes, and artillery bombardments led to more casualties. Ambulances were unable to reach the affected areas due to the continuous attacks.
Eyewitnesses reported field executions carried out by the Israeli military in the Palestine Mosque Square in Gaza City, resulting in the execution of at least five citizens, including an elderly man. Fifteen others were arrested after being stripped of their clothes.
The continuous Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has now claimed nearly 18,787 lives and left approximately 50,900 people wounded, in an ongoing and tragic toll that continues to rise.
