War on Gaza: More civilian casualties reported in Gaza on 77th day of Israeli aggression

On the 77th day of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces continued their airstrikes and artillery shelling on various areas in the region, resulting in the murder and injury of dozens of civilians, predominantly children and women, according to local sources.


In an Israeli drone airstrike in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, a young man was while riding a motorcycle, medical sources said.


Additionally, several civilians were killed and others were injured due to intensive Israeli artillery shelling targeting Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.


Meantime, rescue teams managed to retrieve 16 dead bodies and more than 50 injured individuals from the Al-Bursh family home which was targeted and destroyed by Israeli airstrikes in Jabalia, north of the Strip.


Israeli warplanes also carried out multiple airstrikes on Blocks 1 and 2 in Jabalia refugee camp. No reports were available from the scene regarding any casualties, likely due to the outage of telecommunications in many areas of the besieged territory as a result of the prolonged Israeli aggression.


Simultaneously, Israeli artillery targeted the eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central region of the enclave.


The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, which began on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 Palestinians, with 70% of the casualties being women and children, according to a preliminary toll.
