Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that Israeli Occupation Forces committed three new massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours. The attacks resulted in 42 martyrs and 107 wounded, who were transported to hospitals.

In its daily statistical report on the 334th day of the aggression, the ministry noted that several victims remain trapped under rubble and in areas unreachable by emergency and civil defense teams.

The death toll from the Israeli Occupation assault on Gaza has now reached 40,861 martyrs, with 94,398 people injured since the offensive began on October 7, 2023.

Despite entering its 334th day, the Israeli Occupation continues to intensify its airstrikes on Gaza.

Operation Aqsa Typhoon

In response to Israeli violations in the occupied Palestinian territories, Hamas' military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon on October 7, 2023.

In retaliation, the Israeli Occupation initiated a military operation in Gaza, dubbed "Iron Swords," which involved heavy airstrikes across the strip. These strikes resulted in hundreds of casualties, thousands of injuries, and the widespread destruction of residential buildings, institutions, and infrastructure.

The number of Israeli Occupation soldiers killed since October 7 has risen to 706, with 339 deaths reported since the ground operation began on October 27. According to the Israeli Occupation military, 4,414 soldiers have been injured since the start of the aggression on Gaza, including 2,640 with minor injuries, 1,118 with moderate injuries, and 656 with critical injuries.
