DaysofPal – At least 12 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Monday, as the war entered its 682nd day. The strikes targeted civilian areas, aid workers, and fishermen, underscoring Israel’s ongoing campaign of genocide against the population of Gaza.
An ambulance source confirmed that three Palestinians, including a child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a building sheltering displaced families in the al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza.
In the al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, another civilian lost his life in a separate attack. The sea was not spared either. Fisherman Ismail Kamal Salah was shot dead by Israeli naval fire while working off the coast of Gaza City, while his brother Shadi was injured in the same attack.
Three aid workers were killed by Israeli forces in the southern Gaza Strip in the meantime. The victims were identified as Muhammad Ali Musa Hussein, Muhammad Khaled Suleiman Abu Musa, and Ahmed Samir Hamed Abu Jazar.
Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported receiving 10 wounded this morning after Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, south of the Wadi Gaza area.
Sunday was one of the deadliest days in weeks. Hospital sources said that 57 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire across the Gaza Strip, including 38 people gunned down while seeking food aid at distribution centers supervised by Israel.
At the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, seven people were killed in Israeli shelling that struck the hospital courtyard early Sunday morning. Medical staff described scenes of horror as patients and displaced families were caught in the attack.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that seven Palestinians, including two children, died in the past 24 hours from malnutrition, bringing the total number of starvation-related deaths since the beginning of the war to 258, among them 110 children.
The Government Media Office accused Israel of implementing a deliberate policy of “engineering starvation and slow killing” against Gaza’s 2.4 million people, more than half of whom are children.
Israeli bombardment grew more intense in the southern Strip and neighborhoods in eastern Gaza at the same time. Heavy shelling and airstrikes continued in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, where Israeli forces have been carrying out a prolonged operation for more than a week.
