79 Palestinians killed in Gaza and reports of a building collapsing on an Israeli force

Israeli media reported a new "security incident" in the Gaza Strip amid escalating resistance operations, while occupation forces committed new massacres that have resulted in approximately 80 dead since dawn on Tuesday.

The same sources said that the Israeli military censorship imposed a ban on publishing information about the security incident.

It added that a building collapsed on an Israeli force, seriously wounding two soldiers and moderately wounding a third.

Reports indicate that a soldier may be missing inside the collapsed building, and that rescue teams are working under heavy fire.

This news of potential Israeli military losses comes as the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, announced an operation targeting occupation forces east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Brigades said via Telegram that its fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with an RPG anti-tank missile in the Khuza'a area.

She added that the fighters confirmed that a tank had caught fire while it was penetrating the area.

Resistance operations have recently increased in Rafah and Khan Yunis in the eastern areas of Gaza City, as well as in Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths and injuries of several Israeli soldiers.

Palestinian resistance operations are increasing despite the ferocity of the bombing and the deployment of additional forces by the occupation army in the Gaza Strip.

ongoing massacres

In developments in the aggression, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 79 Palestinians were killed as a result of the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip since dawn today.

The ministry said that 87 martyrs and 290 wounded people arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours.

Today's martyrs included four who were killed in the bombing of Khalifa School, which was sheltering displaced people in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip.

Al Jazeera's correspondent said the bombing also injured dozens, most of them children and women.

Not far from Beit Lahia, an Al Jazeera correspondent reported that Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli bombardment that targeted the home of the Al-Maqeed family in Jabalia camp.

Thirteen Palestinians were also killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Musa bin Nusair School, which was sheltering displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza City, early this morning.

Fifteen Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and others injured in airstrikes targeting a gas station west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, which was crowded with displaced people.

Also in the central Gaza Strip, two people were killed in an airstrike targeting Palestinians west of Deir al-Balah.

The raid came hours after 13 Palestinians were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed a house in Deir al-Balah.

In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft launched raids on Khan Yunis and nearby towns, after intensifying their raids on displaced people's tents in the Al-Mawasi area west of the city in recent days.

Israel resumed its aggression against Gaza on March 18, after reneging on the ceasefire agreement. Its attacks have since resulted in more than 3,400 deaths and 9,600 injuries, according to data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
