In another attack, one civilian was killed and several others injured when Israeli warplanes bombed a residential apartment in the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, amidst ongoing intense airstrikes in the area.

Israeli artillery further targeted homes in the vicinity of the Barcelona Park in Tel al-Hawa neighborhood southwest of Gaza City, with smoke rising from the area.

Furthermore, Israeli warplanes and artillery carried out heavy strikes on the neighborhoods of Tuffah and Shujaiya east of Gaza City, and the Sabra neighborhood in the center of the city. The attacks resulted in additional casualties and injuries among civilians, with medics facing difficulty reaching them due to continuous gunfire from Israeli drones targeting anything in motion.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7, 2023 has claimed the lives of 37,834 Palestinians, predominantly children and women, and left 86,858 others injured.

Thousands more remain trapped either under rubble or on the streets, as Israeli forces obstruct the access of rescue teams and civil defense crews to reach them.
