GAZA: At least four civilians today were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike and artillery shelling of a house in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. Israeli fighter jets bombed a house in Al-Hakar area in Deir Al-Balah, resulting in the killing of four civilians and causing multiple causalities. In the south of Gaza Strip, a citizen was killed and another was injured by Israeli occupation sniper's bullets inside the Zahra School in Khan Yunis, housing dozens of displaced people who sought refugee inside it. Since the beginning of the Israeli occupation's aerial, ground and sea aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7 of last year, more than 27,365 people, mostly children and women, have been killed and over 66,630 others have been wounded. More than 8,000 people were reported missing. Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, lack of fuel and devastated infrastructur e, which render it difficult to document figures.
