Walla news website quoted a source as saying that Israel carried out a special operation in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that five citizens were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house northwest of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip. This brings the death toll in the past 24 hours to 148.
Medical sources announced the death of one of the wounded inside the Indonesian Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, after being targeted by Israeli drones.
The occupation also bombed a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Sawarah area, south of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries.
The occupation forces surrounded the hospital and opened heavy fire in its vicinity, before bulldozers demolished its northern wall.
The Israeli occupation announced on Sunday evening the launch of a new ground invasion of several areas within the Gaza Strip, marking a dangerous escalation in the ongoing war of extermination that has been ongoing for nearly 19 months.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate condemned the Israeli occupation forces' continued systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists and committing successive massacres against them and their families, which has resulted in the martyrdom of 219 fellow journalists and media workers.
The Syndicate stated in a report issued yesterday, Sunday, that the occupation forces killed 219 journalists and media workers, including 30 female journalists, including one colleague in the West Bank governorates, Ibrahim Mahameed, who was martyred in February 2024.
She noted that the occupation forces continue to target Palestinian journalists and their families, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where at least 430 journalists have been injured by Israeli bullets and missiles since October 7, 2023, while at least 685 members of journalists' families have been martyred in the Gaza Strip.
She added that at least 1,000 journalists in the Gaza Strip are experiencing repeated displacement from the north to the south, living in harsh conditions of insecurity due to the targeting of their tents by Israeli aircraft, the lack of normal living conditions, and the lack of electricity and internet access to ensure the continuity of their work.
The Syndicate affirmed that the occupation continues its policy of enforced disappearance of Palestinian journalists. It continues this policy by refusing to disclose any information regarding the fate of fellow journalists Nidal al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdul Wahid, which constitutes a full-fledged crime of enforced disappearance, in clear violation of international and humanitarian law and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, which was adopted by the United Nations and entered into force in 2010.
As part of its war on the media and its attempts to suppress the truth, the Israeli occupation forces launched extensive airstrikes and tanks, destroying 115 media institutions in the Gaza Strip, including all media institutions in the Strip. They also closed five press institutions in the West Bank governorates, including Jerusalem . They also destroyed and closed 12 press printing presses in the West Bank governorates.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with full American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving approximately 173,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and a deadly famine.
