Dozens of Palestinian people massacred or injured in Israeli airstrikes on shelter centers of Gaza

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed at dawn Sunday two horrific massacres when they bombed a mosque and a school sheltering displaced families in central Gaza.

AhlulBayt News Agency: The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed at dawn Sunday two horrific massacres when they bombed a mosque and a school sheltering displaced families in central Gaza.

In an initial toll, at least 24 civilians were killed and 93 others were injured, mostly women and children, in the IOF airstrikes on these two shelter centers, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO).

“The occupation army committed two brutal massacres in the central governorate when it bombed the Shuhada al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibn Rushd School, where hundreds of displaced people were sheltering,” GMO said in a statement.

A number of children’s bodies arrived at the Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital with their heads cut off, in addition to a large number of serious injuries, according to medical sources.

Faced with large numbers of trauma patients inside and outside the hospital, doctors are forced to prioritize who receives immediate medical assistance and who does not. They are treating many serious cases in the hospital’s corridors, on its floors, in its annexes, and even in the street.

The hospital is severely short-staffed, and it is lacking the ability to perform many operations. Limb amputations are decided as the last resort to save lives.

On Saturday evening, the Israeli army carried out dozens of aerial and artillery attacks on Beit Lahia and Jabalia in northern Gaza, killing and injuring dozens of civilians and displacing many others.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that Israeli warplanes carried out over 50 strikes on homes, civilian gatherings, agricultural lands and streets in the east of Jabalia and the northwest of Beit Lahia.

Local media reported that the intensive Israeli attacks forced many civilians to leave neighborhoods in Beit Lahia and Gaza City, amid initial reports talking about a large-scale IOF ground operation in northern Gaza.

Last night, the IOF committed a heinous massacre when it bombed a truck and then a group of citizens who tried to help the wounded driver near the Jabalia Services Club before another airstrike targeted the club’s building, where thousands of displaced citizens were sheltering. A large number of people were reportedly killed or injured in these airstrikes.
