In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 403nd consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.

The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 39, 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, Israeli forces encircled in the morning four shelter centers housing thousands of displaced people in Beit Hanoun City, northeast of the Gaza Strip, amid intensive gunfire and artillery attacks.

The Israeli army also massacred an entire family after bombing the house of Jamal Shabbat in Beit Hanoun.
Other massacres were reported following Israeli attacks on the houses of al-Kafarneh and Awda families in Beit Hanoun.
A number of people were either martyred or injured when the Israeli army targeted a motorcycle in northern Rafah, south of Gaza.
Nine citizens were also killed and others were injured in an Israeli attack in Musbeh area, north of Rafah.
In central Gaza, the Israeli army bombed a gathering of civilians near the UNRWA clinic in al-Baher street in Deir al-Balah, killing six of them.
An Israeli drone also dropped a bomb on a group of citizens in Tabat an-Nuwairi area in the west of an-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, injuring a number of them.
On Monday evening, 10 civilians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering displaced families in al-Mawasi area in the west of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
