In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 418th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.

Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation army carried out attacks on several homes, civilian targets and shelter centers in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.

The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 54, where its forces continue to intensively bomb homes and shelters and attack civilians while imposing a tight siege on the entire area.

Deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance and civil defense workers already deprived northern Gaza of any rescue services.

According to local sources, the Israeli army bombed a group of citizens at the Kamal Adwan Hospital’s gate in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza, killing three of them.

The Israeli army also bombed a school sheltering displaced families in al-Daraj neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, massacring 11 people.

More casualties were reported in different areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.

Meanwhile, the health ministry said that the Israeli army committed three massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, and killed and injured at least 167 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

In a statement on Wednesday, the health ministry said that the Israeli army killed and injured a large number of civilians in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, but at least 33 martyrs and 134 wounded citizens were transported to hospitals.

The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, 2023, climbed to 44,282 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 104,880 people. (ILKHA)
