DaysofPal- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out at least ten new violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip early Thursday, killing four Palestinians and injuring 15 others, which brought the victims’ toll of the Israeli bombardment since yesterday to 40 civilians, including children and women.
The Palestinian Civil Defense reported on Telegram that its crews recovered the bodies of three members of the Abu Sabt and Sahmoud families, along with 15 wounded civilians, after an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential home in the Bani Suheila area east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex said another Palestinian was killed and several were injured when an Israeli airstrike hit the vicinity of the Al-Awda Schools in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, also east of Khan Younis.
Locals said that the area around Al-Awda Schools came under artillery fire and heavy gunfire on Thursday morning.
The renewed Israeli attacks come after a particularly deadly day on Wednesday, during which at least 30 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip. Twelve people were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike on displacement tents west of Khan Younis.
In Gaza City, civilian Mo’men Bulbul was killed and others, including a child, injured in Israeli artillery shelling on Mushtaha Street in the eastern Shuja’iyya neighborhood.
Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said 11 civilians, including a woman and a child, were killed in an Israeli strike on the Ministry of Endowments building near the Askola Junction in the Zeitoun neighborhood.
Another person was killed and dozens were injured when a drone strike hit a group of civilians near the Shuja’iyya intersection on Salah al-Din Street.
The Ministry of Health announced Wednesday evening that the initial toll from the latest wave of Israeli escalation stood at 25 dead and more than 77 wounded, several of them in critical condition.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli genocidal war in the Gaza Strip has resulted in mass killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement.
The genocide has continued despite international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the operations.
More than 238,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured since the start of the war, the majority women and children.
Over 9,000 people remain missing, hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and widespread famine has taken a devastating toll, including the deaths of many children.
