Israeli genocide of Gazans

Israeli occupation forces continue to massacre Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. A number of civilians lost their lives after the Israeli military fired artillery shells on several neighborhoods of Gaza City. At least five Palestinians were killed in the shelling of Rafah and Khan Yunis. According to residents of Shujayea, the Israeli army is bombing residential blocs in the northern neighborhood for the fifth consecutive day. A young man has been killed and some more have been wounded in a bombing of the Musabbeh area, north of Rafah. Meanwhile, another Palestinian journalist has been killed in front of his home south of Gaza City. In 24 hours, Israeli attacks have claimed at least 23 Palestinian lives and injured 91 more. The death toll from the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza has topped 37,900, most of them women and children.

IOF soldiers casualties

The military wing of Hamas has conducted new retaliatory attacks against Israeli forces in Shujaiya on the fifth day of IOF's deadly strikes on the neighborhood. Al Qassam says its fighters fired a TBG rocket at a group of Israeli soldiers inside a house east of Gaza City. In another operation conducted in Shujaiya, two Israeli Merkava tanks came under resistance fire. Al-Qassam fighters also sniped an Israeli soldier in another house in the same neighborhood. South of the besieged Strip, in Rafah, resistance fighters lured a group of Israeli troops into a house rigged with explosives. The building was then exploded killing and wounding a number of occupation forces. Tel Aviv has so far confirmed the death of more than 310 of its soldiers since late October when it started the ground invasion of Gaza. Palestinians argue the actual number of Israeli casualties is much higher.
