these discussions, according to Kan 11.
Escalating Aggression: Rising Civilian Casualties in Gaza
The ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza has led to mounting civilian casualties. Over 20 Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone targeted a school sheltering displaced individuals near Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. In Rafah, two children were martyred in an Israeli airstrike, while the Ministry of Health reported the martyrdom of a 35-day-old infant due to severe weather conditions and freezing temperatures.
This brings the death toll of children succumbing to the cold in Gaza to eight.
Brutal Israeli Airstrikes Across Gaza
An Israeli occupation airstrike in Rafah’s Khirbet Al-Adas claimed the life of one Palestinian and injured two others. In Khan Younis, shelling in the Al-Mawasi area, which houses displaced individuals, caused additional injuries. Two children, Raed Mohammed Shehada Al-Najjar (15) and Mourad Mohammed Shehada Al-Najjar (12), were martyred in an IOF drone strike on Al-Shawka in eastern Rafah.
Four civilians were martyred and others injured when Israeli enemy warplanes bombed a home near Baraka Al-Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza. The continuous bombardment also claimed the lives of twin brothers, Mohammad and Hassan Tarek Abdulaziz, in northern Gaza. The twins were the sons of a martyr in 2007.
Widespread Destruction and Targeted Attacks
Israeli occupation forces continued to shell areas west of Rafah, including Al-Mawasi, and launched artillery strikes near Al-Mufti’s land north of Al-Nuseirat camp. Airstrikes on homes near Al-Omari Mosque in Gaza City’s Al-Daraj neighborhood killed a woman and her child. Another airstrike in Jabalia camp killed one civilian, while a volunteer nurse at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital lost her life in a strike on a home in Al-Nuseirat.
In Rafah, two farmers were martyred while sleeping in their field, and two more were martyred in an Israeli strike targeting northeastern Rafah.
Humanitarian Crisis in Northern Gaza
The northern Gaza region has endured a relentless siege and bombardment for 94 consecutive days, leaving it isolated and devastated. Israeli enemy forces have paralyzed civil defense operations in northern Gaza for 74 days, preventing vital humanitarian and medical aid. Thousands of residents remain without essential care amid the continuing aggression.
