Gaza (Quds News Network) – As the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip enters its 144th consecutive day, dozens of Palestinian citizens were killed and injured over the last few hours, according to medical reports.
Israeli forces, including aircraft, artillery, and navy boats, continued attacks on various areas within the Gaza Strip, with a focus on Gaza City, Rafah Governorate, and with gun battles reported in Khan Yunis involving intense shooting with heavy machine guns.
The coastal areas of the southern Gaza Strip were targeted by Israeli navy artillery shelling, while the neighborhoods of Al-Daraj, Al-Zaytoun, and Al-Sabra in Gaza City witnessed a series of Israeli raids resulting in casualties, including children and women.

Occupation artillery struck Tel al-Hawa and Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported injuries after an Israeli assault targeted a house in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
Tragically, the death toll rose to nine as a result of an Israeli raid that targeted a house owned by the Al-Zatma family near the Kuwaiti Hospital in downtown Rafah. Yesterday evening, four citizens were killed and dozens injured by Israeli occupation bullets and tank shells west of Gaza City.
In a separate incident, several citizens were killed and others injured by an Israeli drone bombing in the middle of the new camp west of Nuseirat.
The Ministry of Health: Israel committed 11 massacres in the past 24 hours, killing 96 citizens and wounding 172 others.

Meantime, civil defense crews and citizens worked tirelessly to recover the bodies of five civilians from beneath the rubble of a house in Al-Qarara, which was bombed by the occupation army. The bodies were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.
Regrettably, the past 24 hours have witnessed ten massacres committed by the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the tragic loss of 90 civilian lives and leaving 164 others injured.
Medical sources emphasized that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7th has surged to 29,782, with an additional 70,782 individuals sustaining injuries.
