GAZA, Sunday, October 29, 2023 (WAFA) – The Israeli genocide campaign in the Gaza Strip is continuing relentlessly on its 23rd day, with dozens of innocent Palestinian civilians, including children, confirmed murdered and hundreds more injured in the ongoing onslaught on the besieged enclave.
In one of the most devastating attacks, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza, where scores of civilians were mercilessly murdered and many others are still trapped beneath the rubble. Exact casualty figures remain unknown, but it's clear that the Israeli strike had a devastating human toll.
Meantime, Israeli warplanes pounded a multi-story residential building with missiles in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City, killing dozens of innocent civilians, including children, and injuring many more.
Southeast of Gaza City, the Zaytoun neighborhood witnessed a barrage of Israeli airstrikes, resulting in the death of at least 30 civilians and several more injured. In the Tuffah neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, several houses were also bombed by Israeli warplanes, leaving civilians, including children, killed and injured.
In the Shujaeya neighborhood to the east, Israeli warplanes bombarded two residential buildings, causing casualties and further entrapment of civilians beneath the wreckage.
The same dire situation unfolded in Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, where over 110 houses were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, resulting in the loss of at least 45 innocent lives and injuries to many others.
Israeli military aircraft also targeted a residential area in the neighborhood of Bir an-Na'ja in northern Gaza, causing dozens of casualties, both fatalities and injuries.
Moreover, in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli airstrikes hit homes in the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps, as well as in the city of Deir Al-Balah, leading to further loss of life and injuries. Rescue efforts are ongoing as many victims remain trapped under the rubble.
Meanwhile, Khan Younis and Rafah, two cities in southern Gaza, witnessed a harrowing death toll of around 57 individuals, the majority being displaced residents from the northern areas of the territory.
Israeli airstrikes targeted homes, leaving scores dead and injured. The injured were transferred to Abu Yousef Al-Najjar and Nasser hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli aggression shows no signs of abating as the civilian death toll continues to mount. With over 7,800 killed and thousands injured, countless homes and vital infrastructure have been destroyed, further deepening the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
