Israel kills over 300 Palestinians in 48 hours as Gaza runs out of graves

The Israeli army has carried out over 26 massacres in less than 48 hours, killing more than 300 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, the local Government Media Office said on Thursday.

According to the office, the latest attacks targeted densely populated areas, including shelters, displacement centres, leisure spaces, homes, markets, hospitals and aid distribution points.

"The majority of the martyrs are women and children - all unarmed civilians - reflecting the occupation’s deliberate targeting of the most vulnerable groups," the office said.

Since dawn on Thursday alone, at least 73 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the besieged enclave, 33 of whom were seeking humanitarian aid, according to Al Jazeera.

The Palestinian health ministry confirmed that 118 people were killed on Wednesday and 142 on Tuesday.
