According to Al Jazeera TV, at least 84 Palestinians have been killed and 338 others injured in fresh Israeli attacks.

Since Israel launched its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, the overall death toll has climbed to 64,231, while 161,583 have been injured. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen due to famine and acute food shortages. The Ministry of Health confirmed that in the past 24 hours, three more Palestinians died of hunger, raising the total number of starvation-related deaths to 370, including 131 children.
In Thursday’s early morning strikes, Israel killed 31 Palestinians, 20 of them in Gaza City alone. Israeli forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced families on Al-Ayoun Street, wounding several civilians. In eastern Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood, multiple homes were destroyed in air raids. In Shuja’iyya, the Hajazi family home was bombed, injuring many and leaving others trapped under rubble. Heavy bombardment also hit Tel al-Tuffah, Al-Saftawi, Zaytoun, Sabra, and surrounding areas.
