The Israeli occupation forces continue their intensive aggression against the Gaza Strip, targeting various areas by land, air, and sea, leaving dozens of civilians dead and wounded, particularly in areas where displaced persons are located.
In Gaza City, Israeli warplanes launched successive airstrikes on the eastern neighborhoods of the city, targeting the Shuja’iyya neighborhood with several successive raids, along with heavy artillery shelling that also targeted the Zeitoun and Shuja’iyya neighborhoods.
