On Sunday, the death toll among Palestinians ascends to 260, following the martyrdom of an additional 4 individuals in a residential building targeted by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City's west. This continuous escalation of violence from ongoing Israeli aggression since Saturday has drawn global attention and concern.

Palestinian news outlets delineate the tragic scene where the four citizens met their demise due to the demolition of their inhabited building in the Al-Nasr neighborhood. Medical sources from the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, relayed the arrival of five injuries, resultant from a targeting of a home in the Ma’an area.

Palestinian reports underscore extensive destruction to citizen homes and possessions, along with public and private institutions. According to the latest statistics, 14 homes and 6 towers have been destroyed, in addition to significant damage to infrastructure.

Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip persists into its second day, claiming more martyrs and wounded amongst Palestinians, and wreaking havoc upon their homes, possessions, and various institutions.

Earlier, Israel declared over 300 Israeli fatalities subsequent to the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation launched by Palestinian factions on Israeli settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Israeli security institutions report at least 300 individuals killed thus far due to Palestinian faction attacks, while estimations hint at the possibility of the number doubling in the upcoming hours amidst the continued warfare between both sides.
