Palestinian media quoted local sources saying that occupation army vehicles heavily fired at the vicinity of the University College in Tel Al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City in the central Gaza Strip.

It was also reported that Israeli naval forces fired on the fishermen’s port west of Gaza City.

Additionally, Palestinian media reported that Israeli artillery was heavily shelling areas west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Al-Jazeera also reported that Israeli warships bombed the Al-Azba area in the coastal Mawasi region, west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Additionally, four Palestinians were reportedly killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting Salah Al-Din School, which shelters displaced persons in western Gaza City.

Ongoing Genocide

The ongoing Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023, has led to a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale. As the death toll among besieged and starved Palestinian civilians continues to rise daily, Israel is currently facing charges of genocide against Palestinians before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, at least 46,565 Palestinians have been killed, and 109,660 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.

The toll is expected to rise further, with at least 11,000 people still unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes across Gaza.

The war, which Palestinians call “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” began after a military operation carried out by Hamas on Israeli territory. Israel reports that 1,139 of its soldiers and civilians were killed during the initial attack on October 7. However, Israeli media have raised concerns that a significant number of Israeli casualties were caused by ‘friendly fire’ during the assault.

Human rights organizations, both Palestinian and international, have reported that the overwhelming majority of the casualties in Gaza are women and children. The ongoing violence has also exacerbated an acute famine, with thousands of children among the dead, highlighting the severity of the humanitarian disaster.

The war has displaced nearly two million people from their homes across Gaza, with the majority of the displaced forced into the already overcrowded southern region of the Strip. The population in Gaza remains trapped in the ongoing conflict, with little access to basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care.
