Israeli airstrikes on Gaza claim dozens of lives as Israel’s aggression enters its 101st day

GAZA: Dozens of innocent civilians, including women and children, have been killed and others wounded over the past few hours as the ongoing Israeli genocide campaign on the Gaza Strip enters its 101 consecutive day, according to local and medical sources. Medical sources said that at least 33 Palestinians, including children and women, were killed, and dozens were wounded, in an Israeli airstrike that targeted several houses in Gaza enclave. Israeli warplanes reportedly carried out intense and fierce airstrikes targeting several areas in in Khan Yunis in the south of Gaza Strip, and in Bureij and Al-Maghazi camps in the central Strip. For the fourth day in a row, the complete interruption of communications and Internet services in the Gaza Strip continues as a result of the ongoing aggression. The communications sector suffers from constant targeting, as the extent of the destruction has reached more than 80%. Technical crews are being directly targeted while carrying out their work, despite prior coord ination through international institutions. This is at least the seventh time that communications have been completely cut off from the Gaza Strip since the start of the aggression on October 7. Networks and transmission towers were damaged as a result of the massive destruction caused by the aggression to the infrastructure, and the lack of fuel due to the siege. This led to frequent outages, pressure on the network, and weak transmission in various parts of the sector. In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has resulted in at least 24,000 fatalities, more than 70% of whom are women and children, and 60,317 wounded. Additionally, more than 8,000 are still missing under the rubble. Source: Palestine news and Information Agency – WAFA
