Among the most recent victims of Zionist violence are 11 members of the Al Sayed family, who were killed when the Israeli army bombed their house overnight in Al Faluja, in the besieged northern Gaza, which has been under military blockade for 11 days.

Civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Basal confirmed that seven bodies were recovered from the house, and five others were found in its surroundings. The Israeli attacks also led to the death of Dr. Ahmed Najjar, who lost his life while participating in the recovery of the Al Sayed family’s bodies. Videos recorded at the scene show the body of a child wrapped in white sheets.

In northern Gaza City, Israeli occupation forces also killed at least three more people in attacks on a mosque and a residence. “An entire family has disappeared from the civil registry,” witnesses said in reference to another bombing that took place in the town of Al Fakhari, which claimed the lives of at least six members of the Adwan family, including a father, mother, and their four children.

In the town of Beni Suhaila, another Israeli bombing killed ten people from the same family, according to Al Jazeera. Palestinian sources also confirmed that in Rafah, in the far south of the Strip, ambulances recovered at least twelve bodies over the course of the past day.

In the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, civil defense teams worked through the night to recover four bodies from the Al Salhi family’s home, which caught fire after being bombed by the armed forces. So far, Israeli forces have killed 10 people in Nuseirat and left dozens injured in the refugee camp.

Since October 2023, Palestinian authorities have recorded 42,344 deaths and 99,013 injuries, excluding the more than 10,000 bodies they estimate are still buried under the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli bombings.
