NNA - Israeli occupation forces continued their airstrikes and artillery shelling across the Gaza Strip on Friday, resulting in numerous casualties among Palestinian civilians as the genocidal Israeli onslaught on the region marks its 182nd day in a row.

WAFA correspondents reported that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the central and western parts of Khan Yunis province, as well as the eastern part of Rafah city in southern Gaza. 

Additionally, a fierce airstrike hit the vicinity of Sheikh Zayed City in northern Gaza, while several areas in the central governorate of the Strip were subjected to Israeli artillery fire.

Simultaneously, local sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted Tal al-Hawa west of Gaza before midnight, while artillery and aerial bombardments hit the southwestern and southeastern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis city, and the eastern part of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

Earlier, Israeli artillery fire targeted the Qleibo and Sheikh Zayed areas in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with the ongoing destruction of residential homes in central and western Khan Yunis by the occupation forces.

Health sources confirmed that the artillery shelling and Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip early today resulted in the killing and injury of numerous civilians, including children and women, some of whom are still buried under the rubble.
