The Israeli occupation army has continued its relentless campaign of raids and violent bombardment on various areas in the Gaza Strip. The aggression has stretched on for a grueling 71 days, leaving a trail of destruction and heartbreak.
Tragedy struck on Saturday morning, as the occupation targeted two houses on Old Gaza Street, resulting in a massacre. At least 14 innocent lives were lost, adding to the ever-growing list of casualties. Meanwhile, a Zionist bombing targeted the headquarters of the Young Men’s Christian Association in Gaza, claiming the lives of six individuals and injuring numerous others.

The occupation forces also bombed the vicinity of a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah. Not stopping there, IOF aircraft launched a series of raids on western Gaza City, causing further destruction and terror.
Homes in the Al-Manara neighborhood, southeast of Khan Yunis, were ruthlessly targeted during the early hours, leaving more innocent lives lost and dozens injured.

The Israeli occupation army resorted to using phosphorus bombs, unleashing a wave of fear and devastation on the Al- Shujaiya, Al-Daraj, and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods in Gaza City. The international community has long condemned the use of such weapons due to their severe impact on civilian populations.
Earlier on Friday evening, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, confirmed that the Israeli forces committed over 18 massacres and genocide crimes in the past few hours across all areas of the Gaza Strip.
Al-Qudra announced an increase in the toll of the Israeli aggression to 18,787 martyrs and 50,897 injuries since October 7.
The world stands witness to the 71 days of aggression that have plagued Gaza, leaving behind a somber trail of destruction and loss.
