Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that, during the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed four massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip, murdering 39 civilians and injuring 64 others.

The Palestinian authorities estimate that there are approximately 10,000 Palestinian martyrs under the rubble of demolished buildings, and in mass graves where Israeli soldiers buried hundreds of defenseless civilians.
