At least eight Palestinians were killed and several others injured when the occupation forces bombed two schools housing displaced persons in Jabalia al-Balad and Gaza City, in addition to bombing an aid distribution point in the central Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported that three Palestinians were killed when the occupation forces bombed Al-Hurriya School, located in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, while four others were killed when the entrance to Zainab School, near the Halawa roundabout in Jabalia Al-Balad, north of Gaza, was bombed.

Escalation of massacres
Meanwhile, the occupation's massacres escalated across the Gaza Strip. Since Sunday dawn, more than 50 Palestinians have been killed, including starving and displaced people, including children and women, and a number of others have been injured.
This comes as part of the genocide perpetrated by the occupation army against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip for the twenty-first month, which has included the targeting of displaced persons' tents, homes, and civilian gatherings.

19 homes destroyed
For its part, the Government Media Office in Gaza revealed that the Israeli occupation army has, since dawn on Sunday, destroyed more than 19 homes, with their residents inside, in the Tuffah neighborhood and the Jabalia al-Balad and al-Nazla areas in the northern Gaza Strip, as part of Tel Aviv's war of genocide in the Strip.
The office's director, Ismail Al-Thawabta, told Anadolu Agency, "The Israeli occupation committed a complete crime by launching barbaric raids."
It directly targeted civilian homes in those areas, destroying 19 homes with their residents inside, in a continuation of the genocidal war it has been waging against our people for more than 21 months.
He added, "This criminal escalation confirms the occupation's deliberate targeting of densely populated residential neighborhoods with the aim of mass murder and terror."
Genocide and forced displacement, in complete disregard for the provisions of international humanitarian law and all conventions that guarantee the protection of civilians in times of war.
Al-Thawabta said, "This barbaric aggression coincides with a worsening humanitarian disaster, as the occupation has almost completely destroyed the health system in the Gaza Strip."
He explained that "the occupation has put 38 hospitals and dozens of medical centers out of service, and killed hundreds of medical personnel and paramedics," adding that "these crimes reflect the occupation's insistence on targeting the foundations of life in Gaza and depriving civilians of their most basic rights to treatment and healthcare."
Martyrs of the sports movement
The Palestinian Football Association has documented the killing of 785 players and administrators across various sports in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank by Israel since the start of the genocidal war on October 7, 2023. In statements to Anadolu Agency on Sunday, the association's vice president, Susan Shalabi, said, "The association documented the martyrdom of 785 players, staff, and administrators across various sports during the Israeli genocide, the majority of them in the Gaza Strip, including 23 in the West Bank."
She explained that "among the martyrs are 437 football players, 15 of whom are from the West Bank," noting that "the federation is trying to determine the numbers through player registration documents and information received from the federation's branch in Gaza."
She added, "However, the announced figures are not final due to the presence of missing persons under the rubble and the difficulty of accessing all affected areas, due to the Israeli bombing and the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip."
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide, backed by the United States, left approximately 190,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and a famine claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.
