As the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip persists for the 70th consecutive day, a wave of intensified attacks has left dozens of innocent civilians dead in a relentless Israeli bombardment campaign across various areas in the Gaza Strip.
The escalation reached a critical point overnight, with a particular focus on Gaza City, where the majority of the casualties occurred, according to reports from local and medical sources. The Israeli military drones reportedly fired missiles towards groups of civilians in the streets, resulting in at least 15 people killed and dozens more injured in the Zaytoun neighborhood, east of the city. Among the victims, a significant number were children and women. The continuous airstrikes have posed challenges for ambulances attempting to reach the casualties promptly.
In the Zaytoun area, Israeli artillery targeted six inhabited houses, leading to additional casualties. Ten victims were transported to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital for medical treatment. Simultaneously, homes near Salah al-Din Street south of the city were shelled by Israeli artillery, causing dozens of injuries.
Further intensification occurred in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, where Israeli warplanes destroyed vendor stalls along with ten inhabited houses. The result was at least nine civilians killed and 25 others injured.
In the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, Israeli artillery reportedly fired ten shells, striking the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School for the second time. This attack led to four deaths and nine injuries, with a majority of the wounded being children.
The situation underscores the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with innocent civilians, including children and women, bearing the brunt of the ongoing conflict. The international community faces increasing calls to intervene and address the unfolding tragedy, emphasizing the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict in the region.
