The Gaza government media office reported on Thursday evening that the Israeli occupation forces had conducted 26 lethal assaults across the Gaza Strip in the past 48 hours, resulting in over 300 deaths and leaving hundreds injured or missing.
In a statement provided to the Safa news agency, the office condemned the attacks as part of a continuing policy of deliberate killings, genocide, and ethnic cleansing by the occupying forces.
The majority of the strikes targeted overcrowded shelters and displacement centres, including the Al-Baqa rest area, where tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.
Other attacks hit family homes, local markets, and critical infrastructure, while also killing starving civilians searching for food.
The statement emphasised that most victims were women and children, all unarmed civilians, underscoring the deliberate nature of attacks on the most vulnerable.
It also highlighted that these assaults coincide with ongoing Israeli attempts to destroy Gaza’s remaining healthcare system, including bombings of hospitals, attacks on medical personnel, and blockades preventing vital supplies from entering the territory.
