Gaza: 35 Palestinians killed, 130 injured by Israeli forces last 24hrs

By Abdul Adil

(The Muslim News): 35 Palestinians killed, 130 others injured by indiscriminate bombing by Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave. This has increased the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces to 37,431 and at least injured 85,653 since October last year, reported the Health Ministry on Thursday.

“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and Thursday resulted in several casual ties among Palestinians as the deadly offensive in the enclave enters its 258th day.

According to official Palestinian news agency Wafa, two women were killed and 12 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in western Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli artillery shelled the southern areas of the Zeitoun neighborhood in the southeastern Gaza City, as well as the eastern areas of the central Maghazi and Bureij refugee camps.

Shelling was also reported in most areas of Rafah, the strip’s southernmost city, as well as heavy Israeli machine gun fire.

Israeli tanks and drones pushed into Rafah’s western neighbourhoods as attack on aid-seekers killed at least nine Palestinians and injured 30.An Israeli strike to the east of Deir el-Balah has killed at least one person and wounded others, report Al Jazeera Arabic.

The casualties were rushed to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for medical attention.

The central area is very small and overcrowded, so anything in the refugee camps in the east can be heard clearly. Israel’s military operation there is part of its plan to establish a buffer zone that is already shrinking the Strip.

All of this is happening while the Israeli military has imposed a suffocating blockade on all the crossings.

At least 11 Palestinians were Wednesday killed after they were targeted by a missile from an Israeli drone in Gaza City, reports Wafa News Agency.

A medical source at Al-Ahly Al-Arabi Hospital said that two people were killed after they were targeted by a missile from an Israeli drone on Al-Sikka Street in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli occupation artillery shelling around Al-Alam Roundabout, west of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, bringing the number of slain civilians in the city since dawn today to 23.

Local sources reported that the occupation destroyed more than 70% of the city of Rafah’s facilities and infrastructure, including burning and destroying all of the Rafah crossing halls and its facilities.

The occupation forces continue to close the crossing after they occupied the Palestinian side of it on May 7, the day after the start of their ground invasion of the city of Rafah.

The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attacks on 7 October is at least 1,139 with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
