New Massacre in Gaza’s Maghazi Camp Claims Lives of 11, Mostly Children

Israeli forces conducted a devastating airstrike on Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Tuesday evening, resulting in 11 deaths, many of whom were children, and injuring several others.

The Israeli military continued its heavy bombardment across the northern Gaza Strip, destroying a four-story residential building owned by the Hassouna family on Tunnel Street in north Gaza City. The attack caused significant damage to surrounding homes.

In addition to the relentless airstrikes, Israeli forces fired machine guns at homes in Beit Hanoun town and carried out sporadic artillery shelling. Israeli aircraft also launched a raid east of the Tuffah district in Gaza City.

Israeli airstrikes and artillery heavily targeted residential areas in and around the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, destroying the top three floors of the Fayed Tower in the New Camp north of Nuseirat, resulting in additional casualties.

A fierce airstrike was carried out on Khan Yunis city in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. Rescue teams retrieved the bodies of six victims from the Al-Amal neighborhood in the west of the city.

Earlier, at least eight people were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike targeting vehicles in the Tuffah neighborhood in central Gaza City.

Three more lives were lost and dozens injured in Israeli raids north of the Nuseirat camp. Israeli drones bombed displaced persons near Nuseirat, while Israeli troops detonated several residential homes in the area with explosives.

For the second consecutive day, Israeli forces have forced all families in Beit Hanoun to evacuate the area, and several young men have been arrested.

Rescue teams have also recovered the bodies of 15 victims from various parts of Khan Yunis city.

In a preliminary tally, the death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 33,843, the majority being children and women, since the beginning of the Israeli offensive on October 7. The number of injuries has reached 76,575, with thousands more victims believed to be trapped under rubble and along the streets, unreachable by rescue teams.
