Nine Palestinians martyred in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza

GAZA — Nine Palestinians were martyred this morning in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting various locations across the Gaza Strip, including Deir al-Balah and the Bureij and Jabalia refugee camps.

According to local reports, Israeli warplanes struck a group of individuals east of Deir al-Balah, resulting in the murder of one person and injuries to several others.

In a separate incident, Israeli artillery shelling on Block 1 in the Bureij refugee camp claimed the lives of three local Palestinians and left additional casualties.

Furthermore, five more Palestinians were killed, and others injured, when Israeli warplanes targeted the Al-Ettesalat area west of Jabalia refugee camp.

The strike coincided with explosions heard from the Israeli army’s demolition of dozens of homes in Jabalia and its surroundings, particularly in the al-Safatay and al-Tuwam neighborhoods.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in 42,175 documented Palestinian fatalities, with an additional 98,336 individuals sustaining injuries, the majority of whom are women and children.

Thousands are also feared dead under the rubble of destroyed structures across the war-torn enclave, with civil defense teams and emergency services unable to reach several areas due to safety concerns amid the indiscriminate Israeli attacks.
