The Israeli regime presses ahead with its barbaric genocidal war on Palestinians as the aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip enters the 300th day, with the number of documented casualties surpassing 130,000 people, most of them women and children.

Palestinian media on Thursday reported 35 fatalities and 55 injured, who had been transferred to hospitals across Gaza over the past 24 hours as a result of the Israeli onslaught on the blockaded territory.

In Gaza City, one civilian was killed and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a group of civilians in the vicinity of Kuwait roundabout south of the city, according to Palestine's official WAFA news agency.

The Israeli warplanes opened fire on several locations west of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip, while the occupation's vehicles opened fire towards the eastern areas of al-Maghazi and al-Masdar refugee camps in central Gaza.

Eight civilians were killed and a number of others injured after the Israeli occupation fighter jets targeted a civilian vehicle near the entrance to al-Maghazi camp.

A number of victims are still under rubble or on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.

The latest toll brings the number of Palestinian deaths to 39,480. Another 91,128 have also been injured since the occupying entity launched its merciless war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.

Tel Aviv has also imposed a “complete siege” on Gaza, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

The Government Media Office in Gaza said on Tuesday that Israel has killed at least 16,000 children in the besieged territory since October.
