Bloody Day in Gaza: “Israel” Massacres Children, Attacks Media

In the bloodiest day of its bombing aggression over the Gaza Strip, “Israeli” strikes on Sunday killed more than 24 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Of the overall toll, eight were children and five were women. Thus, the martyrs’ toll exceeded 70 since the beginning of the “Israeli” aggression on the besieged strip.

In details, the bloodiest strike was in northern Gaza City where a missile leveled a three-storey building, killing 11 members of the al-Dallu family, four of them children, and two other people, medics said.

Health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra named the martyrs as Mohammed al-Dallu, 35, a policeman, Suheila al-Dallu, 50, Samah al-Dallu, 22, and four children: Jamal and Sara, whose ages were not immediately available, Yussef, five, and 11-month-old Ibrahim al-Dallu.

The body of another woman, from the same family, was also pulled from the rubble but her identity was not immediately clear.

The other two victims, who lived next door, were named as Amina Mattar al-Muzzana, 83, and Abdullah Mohammed al-Muzzana, 22.

Shortly afterwards, four more Palestinians were martyred in three separate strikes, two in Gaza City and one in the Jabaliya refugee camp.

In Gaza City, Sami al-Ghafir was martyred in a raid on the eastern Shejaiya neighbourhood, and Mohammed al-Awf was martyred in the north of the city.

Meanwhile, the strike on Jabaliya killed Suheil Hamada and his son Moamin as they were driving a water delivery truck through the refugee camp.

And in the early evening, a strike on Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza martyred Aatiya Mubarak, a statement from the emergency services said.

Earlier strikes across the strip killed six more Palestinians, four of them children.

At around 2:00 am strikes on the northern town of Beit Hanun killed two toddlers, three-year-old Tamer Abu Saeyfan and his one-year-old sister Jumana.

Several hours later, 18-month-old Iyyad Abu Khusa was martyred in a strike east of Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. His two brothers, aged four and five, were critically wounded in the raid, Qudra said.

Medics later reported finding the body of woman under the rubble of a house in eastern Gaza City who had been martyred in a strike earlier in the morning. They named her as Nawal Abdelaal, 52.

And in the late morning an air strike on a small house in the beachfront Shati refugee camp in Gaza City killed 13-year-old Tasneem al-Nahal and Ahmad al-Nahal, 25.

Also on Sunday, “Israeli” aircraft hit two media centers in Gaza City, wounding at least eight journalists, one of whom lost a leg.

“At least six journalists were wounded, with minor and moderate injuries, when “Israeli” warplanes hit the al-Quds TV office in the Showa and Housari building in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City,” said al-Qudra.
