A number of citizens were killed and others were injured on Wednesday after the Israeli occupation forces targeted large areas in the Gaza Strip.

Civil Defense sources reported that its crews recovered the body of an elderly man (70 years old) and a young man who were martyred after the occupation targeted a group of citizens in the Khirbet Al-Adas area north of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

The defense teams also recovered the body of a girl from under the rubble of her house, which was destroyed by the occupation forces yesterday in the Al-Ahly Club area in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. The bodies of three martyrs were also recovered after the occupation forces bombed a civilian vehicle northeast of the Nuseirat camp.

Israeli gunboats opened fire towards the western areas of the Gaza Strip, and the occupation aircraft targeted agricultural land in the town of Al-Fakhari, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a preliminary toll, the number of martyrs since the beginning of the occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, has risen to 41,467, in addition to 95,921 wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, while thousands of missing people are still under the rubble.
