Bloody Night in Gaza Left Homes in Ruins, Entire Families Wiped out from Civil Registry
DayofPal– The Israeli occupation forces have intensified their aerial assault on the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, last night, launching a relentless wave of airstrikes that obliterated more than 25 homes across various neighborhoods. Al-Hadath newspaper correspondent in Gaza reported that 25 homes were targeted across Khan Younis's Abasan Al-Kabira, Al-Shuhada, New Abasan, Bani Suheila, Al-Batn Al-Samin, Al-Tahlia, Ma'an, Jouret Al-Lout, and Al-Manara neighborhood. The homes belong to the families of Al-Masri, Muammar, Al-Ghalban, Abu Daqqa, Abu Lebda, Abu Salah, Baraka, Abu Ta'ima, Abu Nseira, Abu Taha. In total, Israeli warplanes carried out more than 20 raids on homes in eastern and southern Khan Younis. Among the targets was Al-Fukhari School, which had been sheltering displaced families. The school suffered severe damage under the continuing bombardment. One of the attacks struck the iconic Al-Qalaa Tower in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, flattening it. In one of the most harrowing incidents, three entire families from the Abu Salah were wiped off the civil registry after their home was hit in the early hours in Abasan Al-Kabira. Most of the victims were women and children. Rescue teams retrieved several bodies from the rubble and transferred them to Nasser Medical Complex. Israeli military vehicles also invaded Salah Al-Din Street near the European Gaza Hospital, in the south of the Gaza Strip, intensifying the military incursion in eastern Khan Younis. Meanwhile, the municipality of Jabalia Al-Nazla in northern Gaza reported that residents remain trapped in evacuation zones due to the continuous and heavy shelling. The municipality issued an urgent call for the Red Cross to coordinate immediate humanitarian access to all areas of Jabalia. Elsewhere, Israeli occupation forces opened heavy fire north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In a separate attack, Al-Awda Hospital in Tel Al-Zaatar reported that an airstrike struck near its perimeter in northern Gaza, raising concerns over the safety of medical facilities. Since dawn on Tuesday, medical sources confirmed at least 98 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip. Later, emergency services recovered 11 more bodies and dozens of injured following an air raid on the Nabhan family home on Al-Nazha Street in Jabalia town, northern Gaza. Shortlink for this post:

Israeli airstrike bombs Gaza funeral home, killing at least seven mourners
DaysofPal- On Friday, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out a deadly airstrike on a funeral home in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people. This attack was part of a series of violent raids that have continued to devastate the region. The funeral home had been set up to pay respects to members of the Al-Masri family, who had been killed in a previous Israeli bombing just one day earlier. Family sources reported that an Israeli warplane bombed the funeral home, which was being used to honor three members of the Al-Masri family, who had tragically lost their lives in an Israeli massacre the day before. The new airstrike on the mourning gathering killed six more individuals, including a father who had buried his son the day prior and a son who had just buried his father. 'A father buried his son yesterday, and now his own life has been taken. This is the horrific reality we are facing,' said a relative of the victims. The attack at the funeral home highlights the indiscriminate nature of the Israeli violence in Gaza, where even those attempting to mourn their loved ones are not spared from Israeli military strikes. The bombing in Beit Lahia is just one in a series of brutal Israeli raids that have taken place since the early hours of Friday. According to local sources, 45 Palestinians were killed in these airstrikes across various areas of the Gaza Strip. This uptick in violence comes as Israeli media reports suggest that both the government and the military have made the decision to expand their operations in Gaza. Sources have confirmed that at least eight of those killed were victims of an Israeli shelling that targeted a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp, located in central Gaza. In addition to civilian casualties, a number of Palestinian police officers were also killed when Israeli forces targeted them while they were attempting to intervene in 'gangs trying to seize food stores' in central Gaza City. Earlier in the month, the Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that ground operations in northern Gaza would be expanded, and Israeli Channel 14 quoted an Israeli official saying that these operations would deepen and gradually increase in scale. As part of these military actions, Israel issued evacuation orders to residents of the Shujaiya and Zeitoun neighborhoods in eastern Gaza, forcing thousands of families to flee their homes with little notice. 'We have been warned to leave with no place to go. We have lost everything,' said a displaced father from Shujaiya. 'Our homes are destroyed, and now we are forced to run for our lives.' Israel has been conducting a war of annihilation in Gaza since October 7, 2023, and the death toll is still rising. Over 165,000 Palestinians have been reported killed or injured, the majority of whom are women and children. Over 11,000 people are currently missing, while the blockade has resulted in a worsening famine that has further strained the region's already battered infrastructure. Shortlink for this post:

Gaza rescuers say 29 killed in Israeli strikes
A woman looks on as a man inspects the damage on the rubble of a building hit in an Israeli strike in the Bureij camp for Palestinian refugees in the central Gaza Strip on May 2, 2025 GAZA CITY, PALASTININAN TERRITORIES - Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli strikes killed at least 29 people Friday in the Palestinian territory, devastated by war and under a total Israeli aid blockade for two months. Israel resumed its military campaign in the Gaza Strip on March 18 after the collapse of a ceasefire that had largely halted the fighting. Nine people were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a home in Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, civil defence official Mohammed al-Mughayyir told AFP. Another six people were killed in a separate strike targeting the Al-Masri family home in the northern city of Beit Lahia, he added. In Gaza City, a strike on a community kitchen claimed the lives of six more, the civil defence agency reported. Elsewhere across the Gaza Strip, at least eight additional fatalities were reported in similar attacks, the agency said. Since Israel resumed its campaign in Gaza, at least 2,326 people have been killed, bringing the overall death toll since the war broke out to 52,418, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. The war erupted after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Militants also abducted 251 people, 58 of whom are still being held in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead. Israel says its renewed military campaign aims to force Hamas to free the remaining captives. Israel halted aid deliveries to Gaza on March 2, days before the collapse of the ceasefire which had come into effect on January 19. The United Nations has repeatedly warned of the humanitarian catastrophe on the ground, with famine again looming. On Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned that the humanitarian response in Gaza was on the "verge of total collapse". "This situation must not , and cannot ,be allowed to escalate further," Pascal Hundt, ICRC Deputy Director of Operations said in a statement
