Gaza: Israeli occupation army announces the expansion of its operations in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah


The Israeli war on Gaza entered its 317th day on Sunday, as the Israeli army continued its land, air and sea attacks on various areas in the Strip, with the attacks focusing on populated areas and the surroundings of shelters for the displaced.


The Israeli air force launched a series of raids on various areas in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli aircraft bombed residential apartments in Jabalia camp, and the bombing also targeted homes in Deir al-Balah and homes in al-Nuseirat camp, which resulted in dozens of martyrs and wounded.


The Israeli artillery renewed its bombing of houses and shelling of residential areas, as artillery shelling targeted the southwestern areas of Gaza City this morning, the Zeitoun neighborhood, the Abasan al-Kabira area east of Khan Yunis, the town of al-Qarara, and the city of Hamad.


Amidst the shelling and airstrikes, thousands of families continue to flee the Strip as Israeli authorities issue new evacuation orders, with nowhere safe to go. UNRWA said Israel has reduced the “humanitarian zone” to just 11% of the Gaza Strip, creating chaos and fear among the displaced.


Five citizens were killed and 15 others were injured today, Sunday, when the occupation bombed a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.


Local sources reported that the occupation warplanes bombed a house belonging to the Al-Saidi family in Block C in the Nuseirat camp, which led to the martyrdom of 5 citizens and the injury of 15 others, who were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.


The Israeli occupation committed two massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 25 martyrs and 72 injuries arriving at hospitals during the past 24 hours.


The Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.


She pointed out that the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 40,099 martyrs and 92,609 injuries since October 7.
