Since last night, the Israeli occupation has committed horrific massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In the latest developments:

At least 19 civilians, including nine children, were killed and others wounded in a new massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against a clinic affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the northern Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on a UNRWA clinic housing displaced persons in Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip. The raids resulted in the deaths of 19 civilians, including 9 children, the injury of dozens, and the outbreak of a fire in the building.

Videos from the clinic showed the mutilated and charred bodies of the martyrs, including children. One of the victims was an infant whose head had been severed from her body. Residents struggled to identify the victims. The bombing caused extensive damage to the building, with flames rising from it.

Two citizens were also killed and others wounded when the occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Daragham family in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, while artillery shelled agricultural lands in the town of Al-Fakhari, east of Khan Yunis, in the south.

Two civilians were killed, one of them after being shot by an Israeli drone in the Musbah area, and the other in Khirbet al-Adas, north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medical and civil defense teams in Khan Yunis recovered the bodies of 12 martyrs, including children and women, from under the rubble of the Abdel Bari family home, which was targeted by the occupation forces. The bombing also targeted other homes belonging to the Al-Qaoud and Abu Talib families, near the Rafah garage in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that the death toll has risen to 41 as a result of Israeli airstrikes on various parts of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday.

In turn, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced on Wednesday a significant expansion of the military operation in Gaza, stating that large areas of the Strip are planned to be captured and incorporated into Israeli security zones.

This comes as dozens of besieged families have appealed to the international community to evacuate them from Khirbet al-Adas, north of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, as the Israeli military intensifies air and ground attacks targeting various locations across the Strip.

On the 16th day of the resumption of the war of extermination in Gaza, all bakeries in the southern Gaza Strip closed their doors due to a shortage of fuel and essential supplies, amid warnings that the Strip is entering a new phase of famine.

The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, condemned Israel's starvation campaign against civilians in the Gaza Strip and urged states to exert pressure and impose sanctions on Israel to compel it to cease its practices that contravene international humanitarian law.

Since Israel resumed its genocidal war in Gaza on March 18, 1,042 Palestinians have been killed and 2,542 others injured, most of them children and women, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 164,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
