   October 31 (*AFP*)

Following the restoration of communication after the blackout, reporters
confirmed that Israeli occupation forces, under the veil of darkness, had
carried out two additional massacres at al-Fakhoura and Tal al-Zaatar
schools, where forcibly displaced Palestinians from Jabalia camp in the
northern Gaza Strip were taking refuge.

"Israel" bombed the refugee schools overnight, killing scores of
Palestinians while they were sleeping.

As per the Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai al-Kaila, the number of
martyrs in the Israeli bombing of al-Fakhoura School has risen to 200.

It is noteworthy that al-Fakhoura School is the largest school in Jabalia
camp, housing thousands of displaced people from Gaza who left their homes
due to the violent Israeli airstrikes.

Al-Kaila added that "Israel" is waging a war on all hospitals in Gaza,
amounting to a war of genocide.

shelter where people take refuge in Jabalia killing many Palestinian
children
It is estimated that 150-200 Palestinians civilians mostly childre were
killed in one strike. Horrifying images of the massacre.

Al-Fakhoura School has been targeted multiple times in recent years. In the
2009 aggression, it was shelled by the occupation forces, leading to the
martyrdom of more than 40 people. In the 2014 aggression, the occupation
forces shelled it again, resulting in the martyrdom of several individuals.
Today, it was targeted again during the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

These schools, affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which were subjected to relentless Israeli
shelling, are among the largest shelters in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli occupation continues its nonstop shelling of areas in the Gaza
Strip, without distinguishing between hospitals, schools, shelters for the
displaced, or places of worship.
Eyewitnesses: Bodies scattered after new IOF massacre in Gaza City

"Bodies were scattered tens of meters away from the targeted building,"
eyewitnesses told *Al Mayadeen, *on Saturday, after the Israeli occupation
forces
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/eyewitnesses--bodies-scattered-after-new-iof-massacre-in-gaz>
targeted a building for al-Sawaf family in the Shawa Square in Gaza City as
part of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

City residents have called on civil defense and ambulances, through *Al
Mayadeen*, to intervene and extinguish the fire caused by the attack. They
sought assistance in rescuing those trapped inside and providing aid to the
injured in the vicinity, especially considering that multiple areas of the
Strip are experiencing communication and internet blackouts.

Moreover, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent reported that the occupation was
indiscriminately bombing inhabited homes in the Gaza Strip, in conjunction
with the ground operation it has launched, noting that the Israeli raids
and rings of fire were concentrated in the northern region of the Gaza
Strip, and in the vicinity of the Indonesian hospital.
Gaza death toll climbs to 12,000 following Israeli strikes

The press office of the authorities in Gaza announced earlier that over
12,000 people have been killed as a result of Israeli attacks in the Gaza
Strip

5,000 of whom are children. The statement detailed that more than 3,750
Palestinians are now missing, including 1,800 children still under the
rubble.

Despite the ongoing Israeli threats for #Palestinians

<https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gaza?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw> Strip, the
Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed that 807,000
Palestinians continue to reside in the Gaza Governorate, including its

The World Health Organization reported earlier today that disruptions in
communications due to the intensity of the ongoing aggression did not allow
for any updates regarding estimates of injuries and deaths over the last
four days.

The organization confirmed that the health sector in Gaza is "buckled to
its knees," indicating that 65% of primary care facilities are out of order
and 69% of hospitals are not operational.

The Organization pointed out that "ground operations in the city of Gaza
and near hospitals, along with the fuel shortage, have led, in addition to
the lack of fuel, to the immobility of rescue teams and ambulances in
several areas."

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to visiting US
lawmakers, urging them to expedite emergency military assistance for
"Israel" making a specific request for the replenishment of Iron Dome
missile interceptors, precision-guided weapons, and 155 mm artillery
shells, a *Punchbowl *report detailed.
