</li></div></ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>"Israel" bombed the refugee schools overnight, killing scores of Palestinians while they were sleeping.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Al-Kaila added that "Israel" is waging a war on all hospitals in Gaza, amounting to a war of genocide.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Israeli army committed a huge Massacre in Al
Fakhoura school which is a shelter where people take refuge in Jabalia
killing many Palestinian children <br>It is estimated that 150-200 Palestinians civilians mostly childre were killed in one strike. Horrifying images of the massacre.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Eyewitnesses: Bodies scattered after new IOF massacre in Gaza City</h2>
<p>"Bodies were scattered tens of meters away from the targeted building," eyewitnesses told <strong>Al Mayadeen, </strong>on Saturday, after the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/eyewitnesses--bodies-scattered-after-new-iof-massacre-in-gaz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli occupation forces</a> targeted a building for al-Sawaf family in the Shawa Square in Gaza City as part of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>City residents have called on civil defense and ambulances, through <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>,
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.</p>
<p>Moreover, <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>'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.</p>
<h2>Gaza death toll climbs to 12,000 following Israeli strikes</h2>
<p>The press office of the authorities in Gaza announced earlier that over 12,000 people have been killed as a result of <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/who--gaza-health-sector-buckled-to-its-knees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip</a>,
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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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 <em>Punchbowl </em>report detailed.</p>
