Gaza – SABA:
Six Palestinian civilians were martyred and several others injured on Friday evening as a result of Israeli artillery shelling that targeted a crowd of aid seekers near the Wadi Gaza bridge in central Gaza. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since dawn today to approximately 70, including children and women.
According to the Palestine News Agency (WAFA) and medical sources, the Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread attacks across the besieged enclave, targeting aid seekers, tents, civilian homes, and gatherings.
In Jabalia, 11 Palestinians from the Al-Dada family were martyred in a massacre following an Israeli airstrike on their home. Additionally, four civilians were killed in Jabalia al-Nazla, and a tent sheltering displaced persons in al-Saftawi area north of Gaza City was also struck.
Airstrikes on Al-Tuffah and Al-Zaytoun neighborhoods in eastern Gaza claimed four more lives, while a drone strike in Al-Tuffah killed a child near Al-Sanafor junction.
In Al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, three people were martyred in a bombing that targeted the Al-Deiri family’s home.
In the western area of Al-Nuseirat Camp, two civilians were killed in an Israeli strike targeting a crowd in Al-Hasayneh area. Four others were martyred in Al-Bureij Camp in a bombing on the Al-Shalabi family’s home.
Earlier in the day, 20 civilians seeking aid were killed—five by direct gunfire near a distribution point northwest of Rafah, and 15 at Al-Tahlia roundabout east of Khan Younis, with 90 others injured.
In Al-Mawasi, eight displaced civilians, including children and women, were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on a tent near Tiba Towers. Four more, mostly women and children, were killed in bombings on two tents on Khan Younis beach.
An Israeli strike on another tent near the British field hospital in Al-Mawasi also left three dead, including two children.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have carried out what is widely described as genocide in Gaza, involving systematic killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in blatant defiance of international appeals and International Court of Justice orders.
