In northern Gaza, occupier shells opened fire on homes west of Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.
In addition, the Khalifa school, which houses displaced persons, in northern Gaza, was targeted with phosphorus bombs, resulting in fires and casualties.
The total death toll from the brutal Israeli attacks on Gaza rose to 42,409 dead and 99,153 wounded, mostly children and women.
According to Palestinian health authorities, the above figures only include those treated by hospitals and health centers, as thousands of victims remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings and homes, and medical and civil defense teams are unable to reach them for fear of being attacked by Tel Aviv’s military.
Zionist troops are also maintaining their siege of northern Gaza, preventing food, water, medicine and fuel supplies from reaching the more than 400,000 Palestinians who remain in the area.
