Israel's slaughter of Palestinians proceeds on day 207


(MENAFN) On the 207th day of conflict, the Gaza Strip has once again witnessed devastating casualties as Israeli airstrikes targeted several civilian areas, resulting in the deaths of seven Palestinians and injuries to many others. The attacks, occurring predominantly in Gaza City and northern regions like Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia, have intensified tensions in the region.

Reports indicate that five members of the Shaldan family were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed their residence on al-Sahaba Street in Gaza City. Additionally, another citizen lost their life in the bombing of the Rayan family's home in Jabalia camp. In Gaza City's Al-Tuffah area, emergency responders recovered the body of a civilian from the Hamada family following an airstrike, raising the total fatalities from that incident to three.

The airstrikes extended to southern neighborhoods of Al-Sabra, eastern areas of Gaza City, and locations near Majida Wasila School. Furthermore, Beit Lahia in northern Gaza experienced Israeli warplane raids, causing fires due to artillery and smoke shell bombardments in eastern Beit Lahia.

In central Gaza, including areas like Al-Asra, Al-Zahraa city, Al-Maghraqa, and the northern part of Al-Nuseirat camp, artillery shelling by Israeli forces intensified the humanitarian crisis. The city of Khan Yunis also suffered casualties, including the death of Souma Awad Al-Fajm, a local resident killed when an Israeli drone missile struck a house in Bani Suhaila town east of the city.

The ongoing violence underscores the precarious situation facing Palestinian civilians, who continue to endure the consequences of military actions amid calls for international intervention to halt the escalation. The latest casualties mark another tragic chapter in the longstanding conflict, heightening concerns over civilian safety and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
