ALBAWABA- At least 100 Palestinians have been killed today in relentless Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, as occupation forces continue their brutal assault on the besieged Strip.

Gaza Civil Defense reported a massacre at Dar al-Arqam School in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, where an Israeli airstrike targeted displaced civilians, killing at least 25 people and wounding over 100 others.

 Meanwhile, the number of victims from the bombing of a tent sheltering displaced families in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis, has risen to six.

Israeli forces have also launched raids on the Al-Tuffah neighborhood and targeted agricultural land in Block 1 of Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza. A home belonging to the Abu Hin family in northern Gaza was bombed, killing two people.

Thousands of Palestinians from the Shuja'iyya and Zeitoun neighborhoods are being forcibly displaced on foot toward central and western Gaza City following new Israeli evacuation orders.

 Israel has now issued displacement orders for four additional areas, further worsening the humanitarian catastrophe.

Since March 2, Israel has completely blocked Gaza’s border crossings to aid and food supplies, exacerbating the crisis for 2.4 million Palestinians who depend on humanitarian assistance for survival.

The total death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 50,523 killed and 114,776 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Amid the ongoing devastation, Hamas has rejected Israel's latest counter-proposal for a ceasefire, reaffirming its commitment to a truce plan mediated by Egypt and Qatar. 

Israel, in coordination with the U.S., had presented a revised proposal on March 29 after Hamas had already accepted the mediators' terms.
