According to the Palestinian Information Center, the occupation’s aircraft, artillery, and boats have carried out countless raids and bombardments across the Gaza Strip, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and wounded individuals. The southern regions, particularly Khan Yunis, have been heavily targeted by the violent bombings and ground incursion, unleashing chaos and devastation on the area.
Reports indicate that the Palestine School for displaced persons in Jabalia was bombed by Israeli forces, causing a significant number of casualties. The innocent casualties include a child martyr from the Baraka family, who fell victim to gunfire from the occupation forces near the Malak School for the Displaced.

Additionally, Israeli helicopters have unleashed fire towards eastern areas of Khan Yunis, while launching smoke bombs at a school for displaced people. The occupation forces have also engaged in massive bulldozing and destruction operations in towns like Bani Suhaila, Abasan, and Al-Qarara.
The situation has worsened to the point where many families in different neighborhoods of Bani Suhaila are now besieged, with appeals made to the Red Cross to coordinate their safe exit due to the deteriorating humanitarian conditions and fear of indiscriminate bombing.

In a cruel new raid, the house of the Abu Mustafa family in the western camp of Khan Yunis was bombed, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, including a young girl. Medical sources confirmed the tragic deaths of Ramez Al-Najjar, director of the Khuzaa Governmental Clinic, and his son Zaid, during the occupation army’s storming of the Rumaydah area in Bani Suhaila.

The occupation aircraft and artillery have shown no mercy, bombing various areas like Al-Tuffah, Al-Daraj, and Al-Shuja’iya neighborhoods in Gaza City. Khuza’a, Abasan, Al-Fukhari, and the Nuseirat camp have also been subjected to intense artillery shelling and airstrikes, causing further injuries and devastation.

The use of phosphorus bombs by the occupation forces in the Jabalia refugee camp has added to the horror experienced by the innocent civilians. The western areas of Khan Yunis were bombed by occupation aircraft late into the night, claiming more innocent lives and causing further destruction.
In a horrifying event, seven citizens lost their lives when the occupation targeted a house belonging to the Younes family in the Nuseirat camp. The extent of the devastation and the number of casualties continue to rise, with hundreds of martyrs still buried under the rubble and their bodies yet to be recovered by overwhelmed civil defense crews.
