GAZA, (PIC)
In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 436th 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 Sunday 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 72, 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.
Local sources said that two people were martyred and others were injured in an Israeli strike on ash-Shuja’iya neighborhood in the east of Gaza City.
Two young men were also pronounced dead after they succumbed to critical injuries they sustained in an Israeli airstrike on their tire repair shop in az-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
The civil defense service, for its part, said that one of its rescue crews recovered bodies of four martyrs and pulled wounded people from the rubble following an Israeli strike on a house belonging to the family of Arouk in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.
In southern Gaza, an Israeli drone attacked a group of citizens in the east of Rafah, killing two of them.
An Israeli warplane bombed a motorcycle in al-Amal neighborhood in western Khan Yunis, killing two civilians and injuring others.
In central Gaza, four people were seriously injured when the Israeli army bombed a house belonging to the family of Radi in the new camp in an-Nuseirat.
The Israeli army also bombed a tent sheltering a family in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, injuring eight people.
In northern Gaza, the Israeli army also killed a family of four, a couple and their daughters, and injured others in an Israeli artillery attack on as-Sultan Abdul-Hamid street in Beit Hanoun, while several casualties, including two martyrs, were reported following an attack near the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
In another incident, Israeli forces bombarded and stormed a school (Khalil Awida) sheltering displaced families in Ezbet Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, massacring over 15 people and injuring many others.
During the massacre at the school, the Israeli army forced the families to leave the facility and kidnaped the young men from it.
More casualties were reported in other areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.
In a related context, the health ministry in Gaza said on Sunday that the Israeli army committed five massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, and killed and injured at least 181 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
