The official Wafa news agency reported that relief teams transferred the bodies of 24 persons to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, located in the central city of Deir al-Balah.

Meanwhile, artillery fired numerous shells at the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the southeast of Gaza City, which has been under heavy attack for the past three days, the report noted.

The army announced this week a massive operation against this neighborhood with the alleged aim of putting an end to the presence of Palestinian militiamen there.

Wafa said that the neighboring Al-Sabra was also bombed, where six people were reported killed in a similar incident in the Jabalia refugee camp, including a journalist, his wife, and child.

On the other hand, Al Jazeera television stressed that the Israeli raids also hit the towns of Sheikh Zeyed and Beit Lahia, located in the north of the coastal enclave; two citizens were also killed in the old Gaza City in the attacks and two others in Al-Sabra, the TV reported.

The correspondent of the Qatari channel informed of numerous casualties, including minors, in an airstrike on a house in the village of Al-Zawaida, in the center of the Gaza Strip. .
