Wednesday 18-October-2023

As Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip entered its 12th day on Wednesday the death toll climbed to over 3478 victims after the Israeli occupation army massacred hundreds of civilians last night during an attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital and bombed more homes today.

According to the latest official statistics the number of the wounded citizens increased dramatically to over 13000 especially after the Israeli army bombed Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

Although the massacre at Al-Ahli Hospital drew widespread international condemnation Israeli warplanes continued to massacre more families and civilians in Gaza on Tuesday night and today.

Palestinian medical sources reported that 27 civilians were killed in an Israeli attack on a house in Jabalia town north of Gaza.

Four citizens including three women were also martyred in another Israeli attack on a house in the south of Khan Yunis south of Gaza.

12 others were killed and dozens were injured during Israeli attacks on two homes in eastern Khan Yunis while a large number of casualties were reportedly rushed to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City following an attack on a nearby house.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that an Israeli warplane bombed a kindergarten in Khan Yunis for the fourth time.

Dozens from the family of Haboush were either killed or injured when a warplane bombed their three-story house near the Port of Gaza in Gaza City.

Earlier the Israeli army carried out multiple airstrikes on central Khan Younis in southern Gaza with no reported casualties.

At dawn at least 37 citizens were massacred during Israeli attacks on the areas of al-Qasaib and Halima as-Saadiya in Jabalia north of Gaza City.

The PIC reporter in Gaza reported an airstrike on a house belonging to the family of al-Jazzar in Rafah adding that the attack claimed the lives of three residents and injured 12 others.

A warplane also bombed an apartment in Sheikh Hamad City in Khan Yunis killing two civilians and wounding 13 others.

An unknown number of casualties were reported in Gaza City following an airstrike near the Mosque of al-Yarmouk which was bombed on October 9.

Several citizens were also massacred and injured when a warplane bombed the Nuseirat Bakery in Gaza City.

Three other homes were reportedly bombed by warplanes in al-Nuseirat refugee camp and the nearby refugee camp of al-Jadeed. Dozens were killed and injured in the air raids.

Another unknown number of martyrs were also reported in Gaza City following an airstrike on the family of Sakik’s house in Omar Mukhtar street.

The death toll in Gaza is likely to increase as the Israeli army continues to launch deadly and devastating attacks on different areas.
