The Israeli occupation army has committed more new massacres against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in recent hours on a bloody day that claimed the lives of more than 70 martyrs, including 33 individuals, the majority of whom were women and children, who were killed as a result of the bombing of an entire residential area in the Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. Meanwhile, more than 84 other individuals are missing, and the occupation continues to burn the homes of Palestinians in northern Gaza, which has been besieged for over two months, amid a continued campaign of brutal extermination and forced displacement.
As the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip enters its 434th consecutive day, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has announced an increase in the number of victims to 44,875 martyrs and 106,454 injured.
In its latest update on Friday, the Ministry stated that the Israeli occupation army committed three massacres against Palestinian families in the Strip within 24 hours, resulting in 40 martyrs and 98 injuries arriving at the hospitals, while some victims are still trapped under the rubble and in the streets, and rescue crews are unable to reach them.
Late last night, the Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza witnessed a horrific massacre against Palestinian families, most of whom were displaced families, resulting in the death of 33 Palestinians, and more than 84 missing and injured. Among the martyrs were journalists Shadi Al-Salafiti and Waseem Al-Shawa.
In this context, the government media office in Gaza confirmed that the occupation army knew that this residential area contained several residential buildings and housed dozens of civilians, children, women, and displaced individuals who were uprooted from their homes and residential neighborhoods in the context of the systematic policy of forced displacement being carried out by the occupation as a crime against humanity and a violation of international law.
The government media condemned, in a statement on Friday, December 13, in the strongest terms, the Israeli occupation army's perpetration of this new brutal massacre against civilians, children, and women, which has resulted in the death of 33 martyrs, added to the lists of martyrs. It called on all countries of the world to condemn these horrific massacres against the displaced, civilians, children, and women.
The government media office called on the international community and all UN and international organizations to pressure the "Israeli" occupation by all means to stop the crime of genocide, halt the flow of bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, and put an end to the war against children and the displaced.
Until that time, the occupation's airstrikes on Gaza City continue, where five Palestinians were killed and others injured due to an "Israeli" raid targeting a house in the al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City this afternoon.
Earlier, an "Israeli" airstrike resulted in the martyrdom of two Palestinians in the vicinity of the industrial complex south of the city. Additionally, three Palestinians were martyred due to the occupation's bombardment of a group of Palestinians near the municipal park in the center of Gaza City in the northern strip.
In the southern part of the strip, a number of Palestinians were killed and injured in the occupation's attacks on the tents of displaced persons in the Qizan al-Najjar and al-Joura areas in Khan Younis, while one Palestinian was martyred in an "Israeli" strike in the Miraj area north of Rafah city.
In northern Gaza, the process of ethnic cleansing being carried out by the occupation against Palestinian families has entered its 70th day, during which over 4,000 people have been killed or gone missing since the beginning of the genocide campaign, while the occupation continues to burn the homes of residents in the Jabalia camp and the Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun projects.
In a related context, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that the "Israeli" occupation army is systematically targeting medical teams in northern Gaza. This aims to completely destroy the health system and impose lethal living conditions that deprive Palestinians of life-saving medical care, as part of the genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The monitor stated in a press release that its team documented the targeting of Dr. Said Joudeh by the "Israeli" occupation army while he was on his way from Kamal Adwan Hospital to Al-Awda Hospital to treat some cases, leading to his martyrdom by gunfire from a drone that hit him in the head, indicating that his killing was intentional and deliberate, knowing that he is the only orthopedic doctor in northern Gaza.
