Five Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli bombing of Al-Shawa Square east of Gaza City on Tuesday.
Local sources told Palestinian news agency (WAFA) that the Israeli bombing targeted civilians near Al-Shawa Square east of Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Israeli artillery fired its shells towards the north of Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Earlier today, the Israeli occupation forces committed one of the most heinous massacres since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, after they launched a violent airstrike targeting the area of displaced people’s tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis, southwest of the Strip.
The massacre, which took place near the British Hospital at the entrance to the Mawasi area, resulted in the killing and injury of dozens of civilians, including a large number of children and women, while a large number of citizens are still missing.
Medics said that 40 martyrs and 60 wounded were recovered after three hours of recovery operations for the victims of the Mawasi Khan
Yunis massacre.
Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 2023 has surged to 40,988 reported fatalities, with an additional 94,825 individuals sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children.
According to the sources, emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to obstruct the movement of ambulance and civil defense crews.
