Israel Kills 72 in 24 Hours as Gaza Genocide Enters Day 617
The Israeli war machine continues its assault on the Gaza Strip for the 617th consecutive day, escalating what Palestinian sources describe as a campaign of genocide against civilians.
Amid a suffocating blockade, dozens more were killed Sunday as Israeli forces carried out fresh massacres, primarily targeting displaced Palestinians searching for food aid.
At least 26 Palestinians, most of them aid seekers, were killed early Sunday in multiple Israeli attacks across the besieged territory. In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire have killed more than 72 people in various parts of Gaza.
In one attack, one person was killed and several others were injured when Israeli forces shelled the Asdaa area northwest of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Elsewhere, Hussein Osama Abu Hasira was killed in a direct artillery strike on an apartment along Salah al-Din Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
According to medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, 13 bodies were transferred to the hospital Sunday morning.
The victims were identified as: Muhammad Hassan Muhammad Darwish, Subhi Muhammad Subhi Al-Sha'er, Shadi Ahmad Muhammad Qudeir, Hassan Muhammad Muhammad Qudeir, Fatima Muhammad Suleiman Awadallah, Amal Yasser Abdulaziz Abu Anza, Ahmad Kamel Ahmad Al-Ghalban, Hamza Nabil Muhammad Othman, Amina Eid Sami Al-Mallaha, Ghina Basel Mahmoud Abu Ishaq, Muhammad Jihad Salman Qabalan, Taher Hussein Ahmad Al-Satari, and Khaled Muhammad Youssef Al-Falit.
Local sources confirmed that three people were killed near a food aid distribution point in Netzarim, central Gaza, while two others were killed near another aid site in Rafah, in the south.
Four Palestinians were killed at the aid truck entry route in Sudaniya, northwest of Gaza City, and three others were killed in an Israeli strike on a crowd in Beit Lahiya.
Seven more bodies were transferred to Al-Shifa Medical Complex after Israeli attacks in Al-Tawam and Beit Lahiya early Sunday. Meanwhile, three more victims were taken to Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, also killed while waiting for food aid near the Netzarim corridor.
Israeli naval forces opened fire on displaced civilians along Al-Rashid Street west of Gaza City, killing one and injuring several others as they waited for food. Additional injuries were reported from shelling that targeted people waiting for aid east of Deir al-Balah and northwest of Gaza City.
Israeli artillery also struck southeastern Deir al-Balah, adding to the rising toll of casualties in the central Gaza Strip.
As the war on Gaza grinds on with no end in sight, Palestinians face mounting death, starvation, and despair—trapped in what humanitarian organizations are increasingly calling one of the world's worst ongoing atrocities.
