As the US-backed Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip entered day 109 on Tuesday, massive aerial and artillery strikes continued to pound neighborhoods, homes and shelter centers and massacre more civilians, mostly children and women.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the Israeli occupation army continued to attack different areas of Gaza last night and on Tuesday morning, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.

The health ministry said that the Israeli occupation army committed, over the past 24 hours, 22 massacres in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of at least 195 civilians and the injury of 354 others.

According to the health ministry in Gaza, four civilians were martyred after an Israeli tank bombed a car they were aboard in Khan Yunis.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army issued new displacement instructions ordering the residents of Khan Yunis refugee camp and al-Amal neighborhood in western Khan Yunis to walk to al-Mawasi area, although its forces killed and injured a number of citizens today and yesterday in this area.

Local sources said that the Israeli army killed eight citizens and injured others when Israeli tanks carried out attacks in al-Mawasi area on Tuesday morning.

An Israeli drone also opened fire towards the entrance of Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, killing one citizen and causing panic among the civilians inside the hospital.

The Red Crescent said that Israeli army drones open fire at any person or vehicle moving around Al-Amal Hospital, while ambulance crews at the hospital are unable to provide help for the wounded citizens in other areas of Khan Yunis.

The Red Crescent said that its ambulance crews managed only to reach nine martyrs and two wounded civilians during the morning hours.

The Red Crescent added that the Israeli army launched artillery and drone attacks on its headquarters in Khan Yunis, where several displaced civilians are taking refuge, injuring a number of them.

Casualties were also reported when Israeli warplanes bombed a house in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.

Other casualties were reported in different areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial and artillery attacks on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon.
