Israeli occupation aircraft targeted displaced civilians in Gaza City and Khan Yunis at dawn on Monday, resulting in multiple casualties.

In the latest developments in the Israeli genocide in Gaza, three people were killed after occupation aircraft bombed a tent sheltering displaced individuals on Al-Lababidi Street in Gaza City.

Concurrently, Israeli aircraft carried out intense fire belts on the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, injuring several people, most of them children. Raids were also conducted in the city’s eastern areas.

Palestinian sources reported that occupation forces carried out new building demolition operations at dawn in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The attacks followed a tragic night that saw the assassination of several Palestinian journalists, including Al-Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Muhammad Qraiqa and photographers Ibrahim Zaher and Muhammad Nofal. They were killed in a bombing of a journalists’ tent in the courtyard of the Al-Shifa medical complex.

An air raid also targeted a house in the Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City, killing five people, according to a source at the Baptist Hospital, Al-Ma’madani.

In central Gaza, Israeli helicopters targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Simultaneously, artillery and warships shelled the northern and western areas of the camp.

Medical sources in Gaza hospitals reported that 52 Palestinians were killed on Sunday in Israeli bombings across different areas of the Strip. This number includes 26 people who were killed while seeking food.

Escalating Humanitarian Crisis

Since the so-called ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ took control of aid distribution last May, over 1,500 Palestinians have been killed at distribution centers by the fire of occupation forces and foreign armed personnel contracted by the foundation.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, since the Israeli return to war last March, over 9,900 Palestinians have been killed and 41,000 injured.

  1. “Israeli” helicopters, artillery, warships, drones, tanks: how many POWs have you killed, “Israel”? Killing civilians, journalists, doctors, ambulance medics, firefighters, police: “Israel” does not attack, it murder. “Israel” the murderer. All eyes are open now, “Israel”, not even the Nazis could not kill enough, to conceal your crime. Look in the mirror, “Israel”, the murderer is right in front of you.
