Gaza, MINA – As the ongoing Israeli aggresion on the Gaza Strip enters its 140th consecutive day, dozens of civilians have been killed, and others injured, over the last few hours amid the relentless Israeli aerial and artillery bombardment.
Wafa reported casualties and injuries in a series of airstrikes by Israeli occupation forces targeting homes in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, artillery bombardment on the eastern and western areas of Khan Yunis led to the killing of two individuals and injuries to others.
Simultaneously, Israeli occupation forces launched fire belts over the town of Khuza’a, east of Khan Yunis, destroying several homes – whose residents are now displaced – under the pretext of establishing a buffer zone, as reported by the Israeli organization B’tselem.
In Rafah, southern Gaza, Israeli fighter jets bombed two houses, resulting in the killing of five civilians and injuries to others.
In the meantime, Doctors Without Borders announced that Nasser Medical Complex remains besieged by Israeli tanks, highlighting the difficulties in evacuating patients for medical treatment at its field hospital.
