Escalation continues in Gaza as Israeli forces launch airstrikesAl-Lafi meets with the Russian Ambassador to Libya.

Gaza: The Gaza Strip on Sunday witnessed a surge in violence with dozens of Palestinian deaths as Israeli forces carried out a relentless series of airstrikes, artillery bombardments, and naval attacks across various regions.

Palestinian sources reported the recovery of 50 martyrs from under the rubble following the targeted shelling of a three-story residential building in the densely populated Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. The majority of the casualties, including the wounded, were swiftly transported to Al-Shifa and Al-Muamalani hospitals in the city.

The neighborhoods of Sabra and Zaytoun also experienced significant losses, with five Palestinians losing their lives and ten others sustaining injuries. Additionally, the artillery and naval forces of the occupying power targeted civilian homes in the Tal Al-Hawa area and Sheikh Ajleen, causing further destruction with a barrage of shells.

The Sawarha region, situated in the heart of the Gaza Strip, witnessed the recovery of three martyrs from under th
e rubble after a residence was deliberately targeted west of the camp. Six more martyrs were retrieved from the camps of Maghazi and Breij, with immediate transportation to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.

Further south in the Strip, over 30 Palestinians, including numerous children and women, tragically lost their lives due to airstrikes targeting residential areas in the central and eastern parts of Khan Yunis. The casualties were promptly transported to the European and Kamal Nasser hospitals.

Rafah city, in the southern part of the Strip, also bore witness to a devastating toll, with at least 23 Palestinians losing their lives. This occurred as two houses in the city center and a vehicle on the western road were specifically targeted. Many of the victims were displaced persons, and they were transported to Abu Yousef Al-Najjar and Al-Kuwaiti hospitals.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has now persisted for a staggering 100 days, resulting in a grim tally of approximately 2
3,843 martyrs, 60,317 injuries, and over 7,000 individuals reported missing. The collateral damage extends beyond the human cost, with widespread destruction of homes and vital infrastructure, according to the latest reports from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
