In Gaza City, six people were injured in the Israeli artillery shelling of citizens’ homes in Al-Zaytoun and Tal Al-Hawa neighborhoods in the city, as the Israeli tanks stationed in the western region, firing at citizens’ homes.

The Israeli artillery fired shells towards citizens’ homes and targeted Sheikh Zayed Towers in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, wounding a number of Palestinians.

Three Palestinian citizens were killed and several others injured today when Israeli occupation forces bombed a group of civilians in the town of Zahraa, located in the central Gaza Strip.

Several Palestinian civilians were killed and others injured late last night in a series of Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments on the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, marking the 184th day of bombing of Gaza.

According to local reports, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on civilian homes in the Al-Jenena neighborhood in Rafah, as well as in Khan Yunis in the south of the enclave.

Additionally, at least two civilians were injured in an Israeli airstrike in the vicinity of a house near the Al-Istiqama Mosque, located in the Al-Jenena neighborhood east of Rafah.

Earlier in the night, Israeli warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes on various areas west of Khan Yunis, targeting a group of civilians near the Turkish slaughterhouse to the west, resulting in the killing and injury of dozens of civilians. The attack coincided with shelling on wide areas south and west of the city.

Local sources reported that Israeli occupation forces also targeted several areas in the city of Beit Hanoun and the Qleibo area north of Gaza, along with artillery shelling on the Zaytoun neighborhood east of Gaza City and the southern neighborhoods of the city.

Meanwhile, Minister of Women’s Affairs, Mona Al-Khalili, said that the Israeli occupation forces deliberately target women and children in Gaza and the West Bank.

Al-Khalili said in a press statement on Sunday that Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip are suffering from the most dangerous and harsh conditions in decades, as a result of deteriorating health and living conditions, displacement, and lack of shelter, in addition to the lack of food and water.

She pointed out that 9,560 female Palestinians were killed since 7 October 2023 by Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, out of a total number of fatalities of 33,175, according to statistics issued by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Al-Khalil indicated that there are approximately 15,000 pregnant women currently in the Gaza Strip, 95% of whom do not eat sufficient amounts of food, which increases health risks to the mother and fetus.

She added that there are about a million forcibly displaced women who face exacerbated protection risks in shelter centers that lack basic necessities and privacy, amid separation from family support networks, adding that there are approximately 37 mothers killed every day, leaving behind devastated families and displaced children.

The statement pointed out that 8,100 women will give birth next month in the Gaza Strip, noting that restrictions on movement are still in place and the dismemberment of cities continues, hindering access to vital health and social services, ambulance movement, and the provision of humanitarian services.

In the West Bank, Al-Khalili said that the Israeli forces displaced 1,620 Palestinian families, including 710 children, in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, due to the Israeli policy of demolishing homes.

A young Palestinian man died after being shot in the head by Israeli forces during a raid on Ramallah in the occupied West Bank tonight, Wafa reports, bringing to at least 458 the number of people killed by Israeli forces in the territory since October 7.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Ansar Allah [Houthi] claim to have launched rockets and drones targeting a British ship and two Israeli vessels heading to Israeli ports.

A number of US frigates in the Red Sea were also hit, according to a televised statement by Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, who said the attacks occurred during the last 72 hours of Israeli attacks on Gaza.

According to Israeli government 1,139 Israelis were killed by Hamas on 7 October in southern Israel and 134 Israelis and foreign nationals are still detained by Hamas in Gaza.
