Palestinian sources reported Saturday that eight Palestinians, including children and women, were martyred and dozens injured due to the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) bombing two residential houses in Al Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

An IOF aircraft targeted a populated house in Al Sultan neighborhood in Al Nuseirat camp, resulting in the martyrdom of four Palestinians, including an infant, whose remains reached the hospital. Additionally, four others were martyred and about 30 were injured in the bombing of another house in the same camp, according to WAFA agency.

Sources also noted that the Israeli Occupation Forces intensified their bombing of the Al-Maghazi area in the central of the Strip.

- Increase in martyr toll -

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the toll of IOF's victims had risen to 34,356 martyrs, in addition to 77,368 people injured since October 7 last year.

The ministry also confirmed that a number of victims are still under rubble and on the roads, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense teams.

- Operation Aqsa Typhoon -

On October 7, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas armed wing, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon in response to Israeli Occupation violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In response, the Israeli Occupation launched a military operation against Gaza, named "Iron Swords," and carried out a series of violent raids on several areas in the Strip, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded, in addition to the destruction of large numbers of buildings, residential towers, institutions, and infrastructure.

- Casualties among the IOF -

The number of dead in the IOF has risen to 606 since October 7, 261 of them since the start of the ground operation on October 27 last year.

According to IOF, 3,295 of its soldiers have been injured since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza, with 321 in critical condition, 522 with moderate injuries, and 741 with minor injuries.
