The Palestinians reported a continuous night of attacks across the Gaza Strip. The eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City were the target of bombings as shelling continued in Sajaiya, Tufah and Zeytoun. Inside Gaza City as well, houses and targets were attacked from the air. Three crew members of Palestinian search and rescue forces were killed. There were bombings in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, as well as in the area of the refugee camps in Al-Bureij and Deir al-Balah. Palestinian sources reported that fighting in these areas continued this morning.
"May Allah take revenge on them, I have no one left," said a Palestinian woman upon arrival at the hospital after several members of her family were killed in one of the strikes in Deir al-Balah. "The flag of Qassam and Islam will remain raised," another woman shouted after her relatives' home was bombed. Another resident whose home was destroyed said, "We're staying here, no one will move us."

Local sources reported that neighborhoods and residential areas in Beit Lahia and Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip were attacked. As is well known, most of the residents in this area evacuated, and those who did not do so put themselves and their families in danger because this is a combat zone in every respect.
Just before midnight, the area leading to the northern part of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya was bombed, and Palestinian casualties were reported. There was also a bombing in the area leading to Bihas al-Fakhura in the camp. It was claimed that "Israel carried out a series of massacres in the Gaza Strip from fighter jets without prior warning." Several dozen Palestinians were reportedly killed in the series of attacks.
