A new death toll... The occupation targeted those waiting for aid and water distribution stations.

86 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured since the dawn of Tuesday due to Israeli airstrikes targeting homes and aid seekers in Gaza City and other areas in the north and south of the Gaza Strip.

In the latest Israeli airstrikes, journalist Rasmi Jihad Salem was killed and 3 others were injured due to Israeli shelling targeting Abu Amin Street in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza City.

A Palestinian woman and her child were also killed as a result of an Israeli drone strike near the 'Martyrs of the Olive School' in southeastern Gaza City.

Earlier, the Civil Defense announced the retrieval of 11 dead, including 3 children and 2 women, due to an Israeli strike on a house in the al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City.

Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal stated, "A new massacre in the al-Daraj – Bani Amer neighborhood, the occupation forces targeted a three-story house belonging to the al-Hour and al-Af families, and 11 dead were retrieved from under the rubble, including 3 children and 2 women."

He clarified in a statement that "7 children are still under the rubble, one of whom is only a year and a half old, while Civil Defense teams continue their attempts to reach them."

Earlier, medical sources reported an increase in the number of dead from the Israeli airstrike on several apartments in a residential building in the al-Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in the west of the city to 14, including women and children, most of whom are from the Talib and Fura families, with others injured.

Two Palestinians were also killed and others injured due to an Israeli strike targeting a tent for displaced persons near 'Swidi al-Nasr' in the west of the city, while a young man died from wounds he sustained due to gunfire on aid seekers on the sea road west of Beit Lahiya in the north of the Strip.

The Israeli occupation army detonated explosive military vehicles inside residential neighborhoods and demolished homes and buildings east of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood and the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in southern Gaza, while warplanes continuously carry out intense airstrikes in those areas.

Eyewitnesses also reported the dropping of "Israeli flares around the Sheikh Radwan market, and a fire broke out in the tents of the displaced, coinciding with gunfire from quadcopter drones towards the homes of citizens in the area."

In the center of the Strip, a Palestinian was killed due to a strike carried out by an Israeli drone on a house in the al-Bureij camp, while another was martyred from wounds sustained in a strike on a tent near the outpatient clinic at the 'Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital' in Deir al-Balah.

Five bodies of martyrs killed by Israeli army fire near an aid distribution point in the Netzarim area (central) arrived at al-Awda Hospital.

In the south, 12 Palestinians were killed, including 7 children, due to an Israeli drone strike on a tent housing displaced persons and a civilian car in the al-Attar area west of Khan Younis.

The strike coincided with children lining up to get water, leading to a large number of dead.

A Palestinian woman was also killed by fire from an Israeli quadcopter drone while trying to obtain drinking water near the Hamad Towers north of Khan Younis.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 63,633 dead, and 160,914 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has killed 361 Palestinians, including 130 children.
