Fifteen civilians were killed and others injured on Friday as a result of continued Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

The sources added that a number of citizens were injured by Israeli gunfire as they attempted to reach an aid center in central Gaza.

The occupation forces' artillery also shelled and fired heavily at the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis.

Local sources reported that at least seven civilians were killed and others injured when the occupation forces bombed a home belonging to the Nasr family in Jabalia al-Nazla, north of the Gaza Strip.

The occupation forces also blew up residential homes in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, and in the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis.

Last night, the occupation issued new "evacuation orders" to citizens in Jabalia al-Balad and al-Atatra in North Gaza Governorate, and in the Shuja'iyya, al-Daraj, and al-Zeitoun neighborhoods in Gaza City.

The Gaza Strip has been suffering from a catastrophic humanitarian and relief crisis and a severe famine since the occupation closed the crossings on March 2, preventing the entry of food, medicine, aid, and fuel. Approximately 1.5 million citizens, out of a population of approximately 2.4 million, have been rendered homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 177,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
