Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes, artillery shelling, and naval bombardments on various areas in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that 50 martyrs were pulled out following the bombing of a house with at least two missiles, housing a number of families in the densely populated Al-Daraj neighborhood in central Gaza City.
The majority of the casualties and injured were transported to Al-Shifa Medical Complex and Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city, WAFA added.
In another incident, five Palestinians were martyred, and ten others were injured due to artillery shelling targeting the Sabra and Al-Zeitoun neighborhoods in the city.
Israeli artillery and naval forces also targeted civilian homes in the Tal Al-Hawa and Sheikh Ajleen areas, southwest of Gaza City, with a barrage of shells.
In the central Gaza Strip, three martyred individuals were pulled out from the rubble after their home was hit with missiles in the Al-Sawarha area, along with six more fatalities retrieved from Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij refugee camps. The casualties were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.
In the south, more than 30 civilians were martyred in airstrikes targeting homes in the central and eastern parts of Khan Yunis city. Most of the victims, including children and women, were rushed to the European and Kamal Nasser Hospitals.
In Rafah, at least 23 Palestinians were martyred after Israeli airstrikes targeted two homes in the city center and a vehicle on the western road. The majority of the victims were displaced individuals, and were transferred to the Abu Yousef Al-Najjar and Al-Kuwaiti Hospitals.
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has been continuing for 100 days, resulting in about 23,843 martyrs, 60,317 injured, more than 8,000 missing, and the destruction of homes and infrastructure.
Israeli airstrike destroyed the 14-storey Watan Tower, a residential building that also included a number of press and commercial offices, in the Al-Rimal area in central Gaza City, October 8, 2023. Israeli colonial forces declared a "complete siege” on Gaza, denying the enclave’s millions of residents access to food, water and fuel and launched hundreds of airstrikes, killing hundreds and causing the displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians. On the morning of October 7, the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas launched a surprise attack called the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Dozens of resistance fighters raided Israeli settlements and thousands of rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip. At least 900 Israelis were killed and more than 100 are being held ass hostages by Hamas in Gaza.
