Israeli airstrikes and shelling in Gaza result in multiple casualties

In the early hours today, several Palestinian civilians were killed and others injured as a result of Israeli aerial and artillery strikes, along with gunfire from Israeli occupation forces targeting various areas across the Gaza Strip. According to our correspondent, medics recovered the bodies of five individuals from the families of Abdul Wahid and Al-Khour and treated eight injuries after Israeli forces shelled an apartment in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. The victims, who were taken to the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, include Abu Bashar Abdul Wahid, his wife, their son Bashar, and their 13-year-old daughter. Additionally, one person was killed and several others wounded in an Israeli drone strike near the entrance to the town of Al-Zawayda in central Gaza. The injured were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Medics also retrieved the body of a young man, Hatem Hassouna Qweider, who was shot by a drone near Al-Dawa Mosque east of the Nuseirat refugee camp. He was taken to Al- Awda Hospital in the camp. Furthermore, medics recovered another body following an Israeli strike on a house in the Al-Mufti area, north of the Nuseirat refugee camp. Simultaneously, Israeli military vehicles stationed at the Shuhada intersection opened fire on residential homes in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City. In Rafah, southern Gaza, Israeli artillery also fired several shells at western areas of the city, with no casualties being reported in the aftermath. Israeli warplanes further targeted a house belonging to the Eid family in the Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza, and conducted two airstrikes east of Khan Younis in the south of the enclave. They also dropped flares over the western area of Gaza City and destroyed residential buildings in the town of Al-Qarara, near Khan Younis. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in 40,005 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 92,401 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks. Source : National news agency - Lebanon
