Earlier in the day, medical sources reported that following Israeli airstrikes on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, two were killed and 12 others were injured.

Several others were reportedly wounded due to tank shelling in al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.

In Deir al-Balah, one Palestinian was killed and others were injured in an airstrike targeting the city.

Moreover, our correspondent reported multiple injuries from an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, northern Gaza.

In its daily report, the Health Ministry mentioned that the Israeli occupation forces committed four massacres in the past 24 hours, killing a total of 35 people and injuring 130 others.

The number of Palestinians killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on October 7 has risen to 37,431 and those injured to 85,653, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip confirmed on Thursday.

It noted that many victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.
