DaysofPal- The Israeli occupation forces in Gaza committed another massacre, killing about 90 Palestinians, many of them women and children, while blatantly violating the ceasefire agreement and injuring hundreds more. This came after direct attacks on homes and residential areas.
Israeli warplanes carried out intense bombing raids on the city of Gaza late last night and early Thursday morning, resulting in dozens of casualties. This occurred just hours after an agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was announced.
Medical sources reported that at least 30 people were killed in airstrikes that targeted homes and civilian gatherings in neighborhoods across Gaza City, bringing the death toll in the Strip to 82 since early Wednesday.
Two massacres in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood and Jalalah Street occurred within an hour of the raids, according to Palestinian media. Eighteen Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and others were injured in a raid targeting a house near the Engineers Syndicate on Jalalah Street in central Gaza.
A residential block in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northwest of Gaza City, was the target of a simultaneous attack that left 12 people dead and several others injured, according to local sources. The death toll from this raid later rose to 20.
The aerial bombardment also targeted other areas of the city, with four killed in the Daraj neighborhood and a child in the Shajaiya neighborhood.
Over 40 people were killed in the nighttime raids on Gaza City, according to sources, and activists shared videos of children among the dead and injured.
Israeli airstrikes intensified despite the announcement of a ceasefire agreement that was supposed to take effect the following Sunday. Activists reported hearing violent explosions in the neighborhoods of Gaza City and the northern governorate, coinciding with the intense airstrikes.
Local sources reported heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles southeast of Zaytoun neighborhood, located south of Gaza City.
Simultaneously, Israeli aircraft launched intensive raids after midnight on Al-Jarun neighborhood and Masoud Street in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip.
In Jabalia, Israeli forces carried out new demolitions of residential blocks in the area.
Israeli forces demolished a number of residential buildings north and south of Gaza City.
Early Thursday morning, an Israeli drone targeted the center of Deir al-Balah, resulting in injuries to a number of Palestinians.
Early in the morning, Israeli aircraft bombed Nusseirat camp, killing two and injuring others. Simultaneously, Israeli forces demolished residential buildings near the camp.
In the southern Gaza Strip, the Civil Defense reported recovering the bodies of two and injured individuals after Israeli aircraft bombed a house in the Qizan Rashwan area of Khan Yunis.
A correspondent also reported that Israeli artillery shelled the city of Rafah early in the morning.
The Gaza Ministry of Health announced yesterday that the death toll from the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, had risen to 46,707 killed and 110,265 injured.
