It was marked by relentless air and artillery bombardments and the killing of starving civilians and displaced persons, all under American political and military support, and amid unprecedented international silence and failure. The Israeli military carried out dozens of airstrikes and committed further massacres, deepening the suffering of over two million displaced Palestinians facing a worsening famine. Medics in Gaza hospitals reported multiple casualties on Friday, including several aid seekers, in various areas of the Strip since dawn. Two Palestinians were killed and others injured after an Israeli strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced families near Al-Rimal neighbourhood, west of Gaza City. The Israeli forces blew up residential buildings while simultaneously firing tank shells in central and northern Khan Younis.
