Israeli Aggression on Gaza Kills 112 Palestinians in 24 Hours

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed at least 112 Palestinians since dawn on Thursday, with 71 of the victims reported in Gaza City, our correspondent in the blockaded Strip reported.

The Israeli military targeted a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood, killing 31 people, including women, children, and the elderly, while three others remain missing. Dozens were injured in the attack.

Among the victims were 18 children, a woman, and an elderly person, the Gaza government media office stated.

The Israeli air force also launched intense strikes on multiple schools across Gaza City, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, the Israeli regime has now bombed 229 displacement and shelter centers in a flagrant violation of international law.

“This brutal Israeli aggression comes amid an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” the office continued. “The health sector is on the verge of total collapse due to the destruction of hospitals and the ongoing blockade, making it extremely difficult to provide medical care to the wounded.”

Evacuation orders amid severe bombing

Later in the evening, the Israeli army issued a new evacuation order for residents in Gaza’s Old City, al-Sabra, Tal al-Hawa, and the western al-Zaytoun neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continued relentlessly in southern Gaza, targeting the Mirage area north of Rafah. In Khan Younis, Israeli forces bombed tents housing displaced Palestinians in Al-Mawasi before destroying the Fahmi Sharab Mosque in the Qizan al-Najjar area.

Elsewhere in Gaza, four Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces bombed a displacement tent in the al-Ard al-Tayeba camp west of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the blockade Strip.

At the same time, heavy Israeli artillery shelling targeted Rafah in southern Gaza.

In central Gaza, another Palestinian was killed, and one was wounded when Israeli forces struck a tent sheltering displaced civilians in the New Camp area, north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Meanwhile, mass displacement was observed in eastern al-Shujaiya, north of the Gaza Strip, as Israeli forces escalated their attacks on the area.

Hamas calls for global day of rage

Hamas condemned what it called the “heinous massacre” at Dar al-Arqam School in eastern Gaza, where thousands of displaced civilians were sheltering. The attack killed dozens and wounded over 100 people.

“This is yet another brutal crime by the fascist Israeli government, escalating its genocide against innocent civilians in Gaza,” the movement said.

Since the Israeli occupation resumed its assault on Gaza on March 18, more than 1,200 Palestinians have been killed, and over 3,000 have been wounded, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense.

Hamas urged international and regional actors to “break their silence” and called for a worldwide “day of rage and mobilization” on Friday in support of Gaza and in protest against the “US-backed Zionist massacres.”
