Five citizens, including children, were killed and others were injured, Monday morning, in an Israeli occupation bombing of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that the occupation aircraft targeted the Abu Samak family's house in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, which led to the death of four children and their mother and the injury of others.

The occupation helicopters also fired at citizens' homes in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, while the occupation artillery renewed its violent shelling of the southwestern neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, resulting in the death of 41,431 citizens and the injury of 95,818 others, most of whom are children and women, while thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.
