The Israeli occupation forces have resumed their aggression against Gaza for the seventh consecutive day, as Rafah Municipality issued a dire warning that the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood is facing “genocide,” with thousands of civilians trapped under relentless Israeli bombardment and no means of escape.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 61 Palestinians, including four whose bodies were recovered from the rubble, were martyred in the past 24 hours, while 134 others sustained injuries. Medical sources confirmed that at least 31 Palestinians have been martyred since dawn on Monday in Israeli airstrikes across the besieged enclave.

Massacres Targeting Civilians
Three Palestinians, including a young girl, were killed in an Israeli strike targeting a tent sheltering displaced families inside a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Another round of Israeli shelling near Al-Karama School in Gaza City’s Al-Tuffah neighborhood resulted in several casualties, while airstrikes on Bir Al-Na’aja in northern Gaza also left multiple Palestinians wounded.
In Rafah, the municipality reported that communications have been severed in Tal Al-Sultan, where families are without water, food, or medicine amid a complete collapse of medical services.
“Wounded civilians are left to bleed to death, and children are dying of hunger and thirst under the ongoing siege and bombardment,” the statement read.
Palestinians attempting to flee the area said Israeli military vehicles opened fire on them, injuring several. Medical sources told Al Jazeera that Israeli occupation forces have blocked ambulances from evacuating the wounded or retrieving the bodies of the slain.
Israeli airstrikes have particularly concentrated on Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza.
In the Nuseirat camp, two Palestinians were martyred when Israeli forces bombed an area in Al-Mughraqa, north of the camp.
A separate Israeli air raid on Al-Sawarka, another displacement zone in central Gaza, targeted a sheltering tent and a commercial facility in Al-Zawaida, injuring multiple civilians.
Four Palestinians, including children, were martyred in an Israeli attack on the Abu Khater family home in Ma’an, east of Khan Younis, while another four were martyred and several others wounded in a strike on a residential building in Al-Shuja’iya, east of Gaza City.

Medical Infrastructure Targeted
Six Palestinians were injured in airstrikes that hit six vehicles in Khan Younis, while the city has endured at least 15 Israeli raids since dawn.
The Ministry of Health reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the surgery building at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing and injuring several patients and medical staff. The attack forced the hospital’s surgery department out of service, further crippling Gaza’s already devastated healthcare system.

On Sunday, Hamas mourned the assassination of its political bureau member Ismail Barhoum, who was martyred while receiving treatment at Nasser Hospital.
Since last Tuesday, the Israeli enemy has intensified its campaign of extermination in Gaza, launching relentless air raids across the strip, including on displacement centers, with dozens of warplanes participating in the onslaught.
Backed by the United States, the Zionist army has waged a genocidal war on Gaza for over 17 months, killing and injuring more than 163,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children. Additionally, over 14,000 people remain missing under the rubble.
Resistance Missiles
Al-Quds Brigades announced that its fighters targeted “Sderot,” “Netiv HaAsara,” “Zikim,” and the settlements surrounding Gaza with a rocket barrage.
Zionist media had reported that sirens sounded in Gaza enclave, loud explosion heard in Sderot.
