RAMALLAH – A series of relentless airstrikes, artillery shelling, and naval bombardments by Israeli occupation forces over the past hours have resulted in the tragic loss of dozens of lives and left numerous others wounded across various regions in the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli genocide campaign on the territory completes 100 days.

In the central Gaza Strip, three killed individuals were pulled out from the rubble after their home was hit with missiles in the Al Sawarha area, along with six more fatalities retrieved from the Al Maghazi and Al Bureij refugee camps. The casualties were transported to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al Balah.
