Dozens of innocent civilians killed in Gaza as Israel’s genocide campaign enters its day 74
Gaza (QNN) – On the 74th day of the Israeli genocide campaign on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army continued their airstrikes and artillery attacks across the enclave, inflicting more human losses and further destruction to public and private properties.
The recent attacks follow a particularly deadly day where over 200 Palestinians, mostly children, lost their lives, as the Israeli bombings concentrated in Rafah and Khan Yunis in the south of the besieged territory.
In Rafah, at least 25 Palestinian civilians were reported killed in the indiscriminate Israeli shelling, including a journalist who was identified as Adel Zarab. The attacks targeted homes of the Zarab, Attiya, and Abdel-Al families.
The death toll includes journalist Haneen Al-Qashtan, bringing the total number of journalists killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression to around 94.
Five children from the Abu Ghazal family were also killed in a missile strike in the Al-Hasayna area. The bombings extended to various areas in Rafah, resulting in additional casualties.
