London (The Muslim News): 64 more Palestinians have been killed, 155 others injured by Israeli Defence Forces indiscriminate bombings on the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, bringing the overall death toll of Palestinians killed since last Oct. 7 to 41,182 and 95,280 injured, the enclave’s Health Ministry said on Saturday.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
The Palestinian Civil Defence said that at least two people have been killed in an Israeli air attack on Shuhada al-Zeitoun School in Gaza City.
The Israeli military acknowledged that it carried out this attack, claiming it was hitting a military command room at the school-turned-shelter for displaced people.
It also claimed that it took steps to “mitigate civilian harm in the strike”.
Five civilians today were killed and others were injured in the Israeli occupation’s bombing near a school housing displaced persons northwest of Gaza City.
Local sources said that at least five people were killed and others were seriously injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting Ard Al-Shanti area near Dar Al-Arqam School northwest of Gaza City, reported Wafa News Agency.
Israel’s warplanes also bombed a fuel filling facility west of the city, resulting in multiple casualties.
Meantime, Israeli artillery targeted the eastern areas of the UNRWA clinic and the areas adjacent to Abu Jalal Street in Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
At least 19 Palestinians, including several women and children, were killed on Saturday in Israeli attacks targeting areas in both the northern and southern Gaza Strip, reprted Anadolu Agency.
the Civil Defense confirmed that a woman was killed and several others were wounded in an airstrike that targeted a family home in eastern Gaza City.
Medical sources told Anadolu that 11 Palestinians, including three women and four children, were killed and many others injured in Israeli shelling targeting a house in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza city.
In northern Gaza, paramedics reported recovering the body of a Palestinian killed in an artillery strike in Beit Hanoun.
Separately, medical sources reported that one Palestinian was killed and six others were injured in an Israeli bombing of a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, an area classified as a “humanitarian safe zone” by the Israeli army.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli army continued its destruction of residential buildings and entire neighborhoods near the Nitzarim axis, which separates northern and southern Gaza.
Since beginning its Gaza offensive last October, Israel has followed a pattern of declaring certain areas to be “safe zones,” pushing Palestinians to relocate there, yet still attacking them in the zones or even en route to promised safety.
Several civilians were killed and dozens injured over the last few hours in continued Israeli airstrikes targeting different areas across the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported that the civil defense and ambulance crews recovered the bodies of ten people, including four children and three women as a result of the occupation fighter jets bombing the house of the Bustan family in the Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, according to Wafa.
Simultaneously, one civilian was killed when Israeli warplanes bombed the house of the Al-Omrani family on east of the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in Gaza City, while others living in neighboring houses were injured.
The Israeli warplanes also bombed with one missile the house of the Al-Maqadma family in the Al-Faluja area in Jabalia refugee camp north of Gaza, without causing any injuries among the citizens.
In the center of the Strip, the northwestern area of Nuseirat refugee camp witnessed intensive shelling by Israeli warplane, while artillery shelling targeted northeast of the Al-Bureij refugee camp.
In Israel, the number of those killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is at least 1,139, while more than 200 people were taken captive.
