The occupation commits two massacres and continues targeting the displaced in Gaza

The Israeli army committed two new massacres in the northern and central Gaza Strip today, Thursday, continuing its targeting of displaced civilians in areas claimed to be safe. Meanwhile, the resistance carried out new operations against the occupation forces.

In the early hours of the morning, Israeli warplanes bombed a house belonging to the Hamouda family in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of 11 people, including children.

Civil defense teams reported that many of the injured and missing remained trapped under the rubble for hours, with video footage showing the rescue of a single surviving child. Other footage shared on social media showed that an infant was among the victims of the massacre.

Additionally, an Israeli artillery shelling east of Jabalia in northern Gaza resulted in the death of a Palestinian, according to Al-Aqsa TV.

In the central Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that six people were killed and four others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house belonging to the Dabaki family in the Maghazi refugee camp early this morning.

Al-Aqsa TV reported that among the dead were Hossam Dabaka, a journalist with Al-Quds TV, along with his wife and several of their children.

Simultaneously, Israeli aircraft launched strikes east of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Medical sources told Al Jazeera that 22 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on residential homes in Gaza since the early hours of today.

Targeting the Displaced

In other developments, Al-Aqsa TV reported that this morning, the Israeli army fired at tents housing displaced people in Muwasi Qarara, northwest of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.

This attack follows a raid on a displacement camp in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis, yesterday, which resulted in the death of two children and five women, and the injury of others.

In Khan Yunis, Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that an Israeli strike on a home in the town of Al-Fukhari, east of the city, killed a woman and her child this morning.

Yesterday, Israeli forces targeted Salah al-Din School in western Gaza City, killing seven and injuring dozens of displaced people sheltering in the facility.

Ismail al-Thawabteh, the head of the Government Media Office in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that Salah al-Din School is the tenth shelter targeted by the Israeli army since the beginning of August, raising the number of shelter centers attacked by the occupation since the start of the war to 177.

While the Israeli army claimed that the school housed a Hamas headquarters, the movement stated that the “brutal bombing of the school is an extension of the genocide in Gaza and confirms the extremist Zionist government’s deliberate targeting of unarmed civilians in shelters.”

In Rafah, southern Gaza, the Israeli army this morning demolished residential buildings west of the city, according to Al-Aqsa TV.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that Israeli bombardment across various areas in the besieged Gaza Strip yesterday resulted in the death of 53 Palestinians.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today that the Israeli occupation committed four massacres, resulting in 42 martyrs and 163 injured people arriving at hospitals.

The ministry also reported that the death toll from the ongoing aggression in Gaza has risen to 40,265, with 93,144 injured, and over 10,000 missing.

Resistance Operations

On the military front, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced today that its fighters targeted two Merkava tanks with “Al-Yassin 105” shells near the “Abla” site west of Hamad City, north of Khan Yunis.

Yesterday, the Al-Qassam Brigades released a video showing the targeting of Israeli vehicles in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, announced today that they had bombed a command center for the occupation forces in the Nitsarim axis, which separates the central Gaza Strip from its north, with heavy mortar shells.

The Israeli army said it is conducting military operations east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, in Al-Qarara, and in Hamad City, Khan Yunis, in the south. Residents reported that the invading forces had closed some roads between Deir al-Balah and Khan Yunis, prompting civilians to flee areas where Israeli tanks are advancing.

The Israeli army also reported striking 30 targets across the Gaza Strip, including tunnels, launch sites, and observation points, claiming to have killed dozens of militants in Rafah yesterday.
