Overnight, an Israeli airstrike killed at least 25 people in Izbat Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, where Israeli forces have intensified attacks since October. Medics said it also injured dozens of others in a multi-floored building, according to WAFA.

Local sources reported that the area remains besieged by the occupation forces, preventing ambulance and rescue crews from accessing the site.

Israel's airstrikes have killed many others across the strip.

The Israeli tanks pushed into areas in central and southern parts of the Gaza Strip, Reuters said.

The Israeli aircraft launched several raids on the refugee camps of Al-Maghazi and Nuseirat in the central strip. They also blew up houses north of Nuseirat, according to WAFA.

On Monday evening, medical sources announced the killing of six civilians and the injury of several others in an Israeli shelling that targeted a group of citizens in the town of Beit Lahia north of the strip. This coincided with Israel’s bombardment of several houses and facilities in the town.

Another civilian was shot and killed by an Israeli drone east of Khan Younis south of the strip. At least two children were also killed, and others were injured in the Israeli shelling of the Al-Maghazi camp.

Additionally, several civilians were killed, and others were injured in the Israeli shelling of a school sheltering displaced people in the Jabalia refugee camp.

On Tuesday morning, many other civilians were killed and injured after Israel's warplanes bombed a residential block in the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern strip.

Israel's ongoing aggression by land, sea, and air on the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023 has so far killed 44,786 people and injured 106,134 others.

Thousands of victims remain missing, either buried under the rubble or scattered on roads, as rescue teams face tremendous difficulties in reaching them due to the continued Israeli attacks and the massive amount of debris.

Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the ongoing intensive Israeli attacks, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, the lack of fuel, and the devastated infrastructure, rendering it difficult to document figures.
