Gaza City: Renewed Israeli bombardment Tuesday evening killed several Palestinians and injured dozens across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. They said that Israeli bombardment targeted a group of civilians near the ophthalmic hospital in Gaza City, killing several civilians.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, Israeli bombing also targeted a tent near the Sawarha cemetery, west of Nuseirat, killing two members of the Thabet family. Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets conducted an airstrike targeting a site to the northwest of Khan Younes in the southern Strip.
Medical resources noted that the bodies of 326 slain Palestinians, mostly children and women, were brought to the hospitals of the Strip since dawn Tuesday following multiple airstrikes, at a time when a number of victims remain under the rubble. Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes on five Gaza municipalities and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including over 100 children.
The death toll topped 412 with more than 564 others wounded, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble. The aggression was resumed amidst concerns over the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Strip given the ongoing siege and ban on the entry of medical and humanitarian aid.
Israel has waged military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing over 48,572 Palestinians, mostly women and children and injuring 112,032 others. Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
