GAZA: Israeli occupation artillery Friday afternoon shelled the Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of the city of Gaza, killing three Palestinians, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that the occupation artillery pounded the vicinity of the Salah ad-Din Mosque in the neighborhood, killing at least three Palestinians and wounding others.

The fatalities and casualties were rushed to Al-Ahli Hospital, also known as Al-Mamadani.

Tried before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 36,284 Palestinians and injuring over 82,057 others.

Moreover, at least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip,
with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
