Israeli
forces killed two Palestinians on Friday in the town of Jabalia in northern
Gaza, as Gaza health authorities reported 27 fatalities over the past 24 hours
despite a ceasefire that entered into force in October.
Local media
reported that Israeli forces carried out extensive overnight demolitions of
residential buildings in northeastern Gaza City, northern Gaza, and parts of
the southern sector, alongside intensified military movements around the city.
In Rafah, Israeli helicopter gunships opened sustained fire, while armored
vehicles positioned inside the city shelled residential neighborhoods,
witnesses said, amid continuous low-altitude aerial activity.
The director
of Gaza’s Al-Shifa Medical Complex told local media that around 10,000
Palestinians remain missing under the rubble, including approximately 5,000
whose fate remains unknown, adding that the Israeli authorities had handed over
66 boxes containing only skulls of Palestinian victims, along with bodies of
women whose origins remain unclear, and others returned with missing limbs or
signs of post-mortem surgical procedures. “Israeli forces were aware of the
identities of some returned bodies but refused to disclose that information.”
According to
the Gaza Health Ministry’s latest report, hospitals received 27 bodies and
treated 18 wounded people over the past 24 hours, noting that many victims
remain trapped under debris or on roads due to the inability of rescue teams to
reach them.
Since the
ceasefire began on October 11, the ministry said 574 Palestinians have been
killed and 1,518 injured, while 717 bodies have been recovered. Since the start
of the war on October 7, 2023, the cumulative toll has reached 71,851 killed
and 171,626 wounded.
