Increase in Palestinian Casualties in Gaza Due to Israeli Bombing
Palestinian medical sources reported that the Israeli bombardment of Gaza has resulted in the death of 63 people since dawn on Thursday, according to the Palestinian news agency (Wafa). The sources indicated that among the casualties, 28 were waiting for humanitarian aid in central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip, where they were shot by the occupation forces.
The Palestinian Center for Information reported that Israeli forces carried out a massacre, killing 13 civilians after targeting Mustafa Hafez School, which shelters displaced persons west of Gaza City. This reflects a dangerous escalation in military operations against the Gaza Strip.
It also noted that 8 civilians were killed and more than 50 others injured after a tent in the Mawis area of Khan Yunis was targeted. Additionally, 6 people were killed in an attack around the Nitsareem axis in southern Gaza, while they were waiting for aid.
In the context of escalation, three civilians were killed by artillery shelling on the western Beit Lahiya roundabout. Moreover, one person was killed and three others wounded after Israeli shelling near Rafeh Jabalia in northern Gaza.
In another incident, Israeli shelling targeted displaced persons’ tents in Al-Majida neighborhood in Mawis, Khan Yunis, killing three civilians and injuring others. This continues the cycle of violence plaguing Gaza, aggravating the suffering of civilians amid worsening humanitarian and security conditions.
