Dozens of innocent civilians were killed and others injured over the past hours as the ongoing Israeli war of genocide on Gaza enters its 107th consecutive day, the Palestine Official News Agency Wafa reported, citing local and medical sources.
In Gaza City, local sources reported that three civilians were killed when an Israeli military drone targeted the vehicle they were traveling in at the Yarmouk market.
Simultaneously, medical sources confirmed casualties and injuries resulting from an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential building in the Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
In the meantime, a number of civilians were killed and others injured by Israeli sniper fire in the vicinity of the Al-Katiba Square southwest of Gaza City.
Concurrently, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. The attack resulted in massive destruction, with no confirmed reports of casualties.
Meantime, Israeli artillery shelling targeted the Al-Manara neighborhood in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern region of the Gaza Strip.
Also in Khan Yunis, a civilian was killed and others were injured in an airstrike that hit the Al-Amal neighborhood west of the city.
Further, Israeli naval forces also reportedly shelled the coastal areas of Deir al-Balah in the middle of the enclave.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses reported that Israeli artillery has been shelling the vicinity of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis for several hours.
Israeli occupation forces also continued the destruction of residential areas in the central and eastern areas of Khan Yunis, leading to further displacement and loss of homes for the already vulnerable population.
In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli war of genocide on Gaza has claimed the lives of approximately 24,927 individuals since October 7, with 62,388 others injured, the majority of whom are women and children.
Worse still, the aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all of the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced by Israel 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.
