The reporter also reported that there were martyrs and a large number of wounded as a result of the targeting of homes in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.
Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said that the crews were unable to deal with the large number of residential homes targeted by the Israeli occupation tonight in the northern Gaza Strip.
He added that there are still people trapped under the rubble of these homes, and that crews are unable to deal with them due to the simultaneous bombing and the lack of heavy rescue equipment.
Anatolia Agency reported that the eastern and western regions of the northern Gaza Strip witnessed intense Israeli bombing, the heaviest in 5 months, targeting inhabited homes.
It reported that this bombing caused a wave of displacement of citizens towards Gaza City and its center, coinciding with the sounds of Israeli vehicles being heard near the western and eastern borders of the Northern Governorate.
In the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, 4 Palestinians were killed in occupation bombing.
With absolute American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 138,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of dozens of children, in one of the worst Humanitarian disasters in the world.
In disdain for the international community, Israel continues the war of genocide in Gaza, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
