ALBAWABA- The Gaza Strip continues to endure relentless Israeli aggression, with the past 24 hours witnessing four brutal massacres that claimed the lives of 51 Palestinians and left 94 others injured.

 Among the martyrs, 42 were reported in northern Gaza alone. Hospitals across the Strip are overwhelmed with casualties, as airstrikes show no signs of abating.

In the Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, two shelters were targeted in separate Israeli raids, leaving over 15 people dead or injured.

 In Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, rescue teams recovered the bodies of four martyrs from the rubble following airstrikes in the area.

The Al-Qassam Brigades reported notable resistance efforts, including the sniping of a Zionist soldier in the Al-Tawam area and a daring operation in Jabalia camp where a Palestinian fighter stabbed and killed a Zionist officer and three soldiers, seizing their weapons.

 Al-Qassam also targeted the Magen military site with an Al-Zawari suicide drone. Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades claimed to have captured a Zionist EVO Max reconnaissance drone conducting intelligence missions over Khan Yunis.

A United Nations official has condemned the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that life in the northern Strip has become "unsustainable." 

The ongoing bombardment is described as "horrific," with human losses and destruction mounting daily. The official criticized Israel's continued imposition of collective punishment on Palestinians, calling it "unjustified."

Since the start of the Israeli aggression in October 2023, Gaza's health ministry reports a staggering death toll of 45,129 martyrs and 107,338 wounded, as the humanitarian crisis deepens in the besieged Strip.
