The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) murdered at least 41,689 Palestinian civilians and injured at least 96,625 others since the beginning of the genocide that the Israeli occupation has been committing against the Gaza Strip in October 2023. The ministry said in its daily report that the IOF committed five massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, slaughtering at least 51 civilians and injuring at least 165 others. Palestinian medical sources announced that the death toll from the Khan Younis massacre committed last night by the Israeli occupation has reached 54 martyrs. Some of the bodies of dozens of martyrs are still arriving at hospitals while some are being pulled out by civil defense teams. The martyrs are being pulled out from under the rubble of the destroyed homes that Israel had bombed after the sudden incursion the IOF carried out last night in the neighborhoods of Maan, Qizan Al-Najjar and Al-Manara, Khan Younis. In another deliberate targeting, the IOF carried out an airstrike in the town of Khuza'a, east of Khan Younis, murdering three civilians. The IOF carried out another airstrike east of Rafah, murdering a civilian. Over the past 24 hours, the IOF committed many massacres and carried out many airstrikes deliberately targeting displaced Palestinian civilians across the Gaza Strip, especially in the city of Khan Younis. The Israeli occupation has been committing a textbook genocide in the Gaza Strip for 362 consecutive days. Source: Qatar News Agency
