On the 449th day of Israel’s relentless aggression against the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces have continued their brutal assault on civilian homes, resulting in the deaths of at least 45,436 Palestinians and the wounding of 108,038 others since October 7, 2023.
In the latest atrocities, Israeli warplanes targeted a house in the Maghazi camp, killing 9 siblings, including children and the elderly. Israeli airstrikes also hit the Bureij and Nuseirat camps, while artillery shelling injured Palestinians in the Mawasi area of Rafah and east of Khan Yunis.

The violence escalated further as the Israeli occupation army stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, igniting a fire that consumed several departments and claimed the lives of patients and medical staff.
