26 Gazans killed by Israel since sunset, bringing Friday total to 63

Twenty-six Palestinians including eight members of a single family were killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip on Friday evening, while the death of a young man wounded earlier in the week brought the total number of deaths in Israel's 11-day long assault to 298 and more than 2,200 injured.

The deaths bring the total killed since the beginning of the ground invasion late Thursday night to 63, as deaths and injuries across the besieged coastal enclave soared on the first day of the assault in both the northern and southern regions of the territory.

Of the 63 killed since the beginning of the Israeli invasion, 26 died after Gazans broke their fast at sunset on Friday evening as Israeli air strikes pounded the Strip.

Eight members of the Abu Jrad family including four children were killed when a missile struck their home in Beit Hanoun including Naim Musa Abu Jrad, 23, Abd Musa Abu Jrad, 30, Siham Musa Abu Jrad, 26, Rija Aliyan Abu Jrad, and four children: Haniyah Abd al-Rahman Abu Jrad, Samih Naim Abu Jrad, Musa Abd al-Rahman Abu Jrad, 6 months, and Ahlam Musa Abu Jrad.

Four members of the Shaath family were killed and four were injured including one seriously after an air strike on their home in the Hayy al-Manara neighborhood of Khan Younis around 10:30 p.m.

Three members of the Abu Sneineh family were also killed in a strike on their home in eastern Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and three others were injured. The dead were named by Gaza medical authorities as: Faysal Abu Sneineh, 32, Emad Faysal Abu Sneineh, 18, and Nizar Fayez Aub Sneineh, 38.

Muhammad Talal al-Saneh, 20, died around 10:30 p.m. as a result of an Israeli attack, Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said.

Ismail Ramadan Salmi, 23, was brought dead to the Gaza European Hospital, while Ghassan Salem Abu Musa Abu Azzab, 28, and his brother Muhammad Salam Abu Musa Abu Azzab, 19, from Hayy al-Manara in Khan Younis also died as a result of an Israeli attack.

Muhammad Saad Mahmoud Abu Saadeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike in eastern Khan Younis on Friday evening.

Hamza Mohammad Abu Hussein, 27, was killed in an airstrike on eastern Rafah on Friday evening, while Mohammad Abu Sa'da was killed in an artillery shelling eastern Khan Younis.

Imad and Qassim Alwan, both children, were killed as a result of artillery shelling in eastern Gaza City.

Rizk Ahmad al-Hayk, 2, perished in air strikes in Shawwa Square in Gaza City, while Sarah Muhammad Bustan, 13, was killed in Hayy al-Tuffah in Gaza City.

Yusif Ibrahim Hasan al-Astal, 23, died of wounds he sustained in Khan Younis a week ago.

Israel launched Operation Protective Edge 11 days ago in what it said was an attempt to halt rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, which had increased in the weeks prior after Israel launched a massive assault against Hamas in the West Bank.

That assault -- which left around 10 dead, 130 injured, and 600 Hamas-affiliated individual in Israeli prisons -- came in response to the kidnapping and death of three Israeli youth in June, which Israel accused Hamas of involvement in.

Hamas has denied any involvement in the killings, and has instead accused Israel of exploiting the deaths to launch an all out assault on the group, one of the few in Palestine that maintains an armed wing capable of attacking Israel.

As Israeli troops pushed into Gaza overnight, intense tank fire shook parts of Khan Younis, sending a flood of patients into the southern city's Nasser hospital.

The shells smashed into buildings near the border with Israel, prompting thousands to flee their homes under the cover of darkness, only missiles lighting up the sky.

At Nasser hospital, doctors and nurses working 24-hour shifts were on alert for the wave of patients who began arriving in the early hours.

"The situation is very, very difficult," said doctor Kamel Zaqzuq.

"This is much, much more difficult than the last war," he said, referring to the previous major conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in November 2012.

"At night, it's one constant emergency."

He said the hospital was running short on some supplies, including medical sutures for stitches.

Many of those who arrived at the hospital on Thursday night and early Friday morning, after the ground operation began, were children, he said.

For some, it was too late -- doctors said 11 people ended up in the facility's morgue.

Two were still there on Friday morning, wrapped in white sheets on the steel shelves of a refrigerator, locked behind a door of rusting iron bars.

Others suffered grave injuries and were being treated in the intensive care unit, including 25-year-old Khadija Abu Hamad.

She was hurt in tank shelling in a neighborhood known simply as Sharqiya, or eastern district.

Shrapnel ripped through most of her body, embedding itself in her brain, breaking her left arm and gouging out her left eye.

The little remaining part of her face not covered in bandages was bruised black and yellow, and metal pins were holding her broken arm together.

'We had to amputate'

Next to her was 18-year-old Uday al-Astal, now paralyzed on his right side after shrapnel entered his brain.

And on the other side of the room was a relative of his -- 23-year-old Yusef Astal.

"He came in with a very serious injury to his femoral artery," said doctor Moataz al-Jubur, who is supervising the intensive care ward.

"We had to amputate his leg."

Both were wounded in an Israeli bombing on Wednesday. Four of their relatives were killed -- among them two children, aged four and six.

Across the ward, Jubur was supervising another patient hurt late on Thursday night as the ground incursion began.

Shrapnel tore into his stomach, kidneys and intestines, Jubur said.

"I keep giving him blood transfusions, but he's in very bad shape."

Downstairs, those with less serious injuries waited for treatment, or to hear news of loved ones.

Ibrahim Fayyad, 24, was sitting outside his house on Friday morning when an airstrike hit.

"It happened a few meters away and so I started to run away in fear," he said.

"Even as I was running there was another strike, a plane fired three times, there was a huge explosion, and there was shrapnel flying everywhere."

Two of his cousin's sons were killed: 26-year-old Mohammed Fayyad, and 25-year-old Mahmud Fayyad.

'Not the first time'

Jubur has worked at Nasser hospital for more than five years, and was sanguine when asked about the current conflict.

"This is not the first time I've been in a situation like this," he said.

Israel and Hamas fought a bloody 22-day conflict over New Year 2009, and again in late 2012, both of which had devastating consequences for civilians in Gaza.

The current conflict has depressing echoes of those former rounds of violence.

So far, the Palestinian death toll from 11 days of violence stands at more than 270, while two Israelis have also been killed, one soldier and one civilian.

UN figures indicate that at least a third of the dead are children, and emotions in Gaza are running high.

"The whole world is watching while the Palestinians are being slaughtered," Jubur said, his voice rising.

"They are innocents, people sitting next to their homes, people sitting with their relatives," he added.

"Where should these people go?"

4 killed, 4 injured in Israeli attack on Shaath home in Khan Younis

Israeli tanks, naval ships and airforce continue to bombard every part of the Gaza Strip, with ground troops invading from the north and east and airstrikes continuing to hit areas in southern Gaza, including Khan Younis and Rafah hit the hardest. Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra reported the following casualties on Friday evening:

Seven children were killed in three separate airstrikes in Gaza City, in the central district of Gaza.

An airstrike on Shawwa Square, in central Gaza City, killed:
1. Rizk Ahmad al-Hayk, 2

A separate airstrike in Hayy al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City killed:
2. Sarah Muhammad Bustan, 13

And in eastern Gaza City, artillery shells from Israeli tanks killed two young brothers:
3. Imad Alwan and
4. Qassim Alwan

Also in central Gaza, three children were killed in a single airstrike:
5. Ahmed Ismael Abu Mislam, 14
6. Mohammad Ismael Abu Mislam, 13.
7. Wala’ Ismael Abu Mislam, 12.

Airstrikes on the Abu Jarad family home in Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza, resulted in the deaths of five members of the family, and the wounding of several others. Those killed were identified as:
8. Naim Mousa Abu Jarad, 23.
9. Abed Mousa Abu Jarad, 30.
10. Siham Mousa Abu Jarad, 26.
11. Rija Aliyan Abu Jarad
12. Child, name not yet verified

Also in northern Gaza, an airstrike hit the village of Jahr al-Deek, killing:

13. Husam Mislam Abu Aisha, 26.

In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, Israeli airstrikes killed Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry:
14. Muhammad Sa’ad Mahmoud Abu Sa’da
15. Ra’fat Mohammad al-Bahloul, 35.
16. Wala’ al-Qaraa, 20
17. Abdullah Jamal al-Samiri, 17
18. Ahmed Hasan Saleh al-Ghalban, 23
19. Hamada Abdullah Mohammad al-Nashiti, 21

Also in Khan Younis, a Palestinian man died of wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli airstrike:
20. Yusif Ibrahim Hasan al-Astal, 23

Also in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, in Rafah, Israeli airstrikes in the eastern part of the city killed:
21. Hamza Mohammad Abu Hussein, 27
22. Saleh Zogheedi, 20
23. Ala’ Abu Shabat, 23

In a separate airstrike in Rafah, Israeli forces killed five Palestinians. They were identified as:
24. Ibrahim Daoud al-Balawy, 24
25. Abdul-Rahman Jamal al-Zamli, 22.
26. Ibrahim Ahmed ‘Abdeen, 42
27. Mustafa Abu Mour, 20
28. Khaled Abu Mour, 23

A Palestinian was killed on a road in western Gaza, identified as:
29. Mohammad ‘Awad Ma’tar, 37.

Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed with the number of wounded, most of whom remain in corridors and waiting rooms, since the hospitals are full. Kamel Zaqzuq, a doctor at Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, said “The situation is very, very difficult…At night, it's one constant emergency."

Palestinians in the northern part of the Gaza Strip fled by the thousands to try to seek refuge in United Nations schools, while Israeli officials have vowed to ‘flatten’ the towns and villages of northern Gaza, whose residents were all told by Israeli officials to evacuate.

Chris Guinness, a spokesperson of the United Nations, stated, “The number of people coming to UNRWA seeking sanctuary from the fighting in Gaza has nearly doubled today. It has risen from 22,000 to over 40,000”.

In the previous large-scale invasion of Gaza, in 2009, Israeli forces attacked United Nations schools,including using white phosphorus weapons, which cause severe burns and are banned under international law for use in civilian areas.

An Israeli soldier identified as Eitan Barak was killed Friday by Palestinian fighters while Israeli troops invaded northern Gaza, according to the Israeli military. Military spokesman Brigadier General Motti told reporters, "We are using a very high level of fire power and artillery," adding, “A great number of soldiers are in action in the Gaza Strip, soldiers are overtaking their targets, tunnels, Hamas targets”.

But eyewitnesses, human rights groups and the United Nations all confirm that the Israeli military is overwhelmingly targeting civilians in its ground invasion, after airstrikes over the previous nine days killed 242 Palestinians and wounded over 1800 – at least 80% of whom are civilians, and the majority of whom are women and children.

At least eight members of a single family, among them four children, were killed by Israeli tank fire in northern Gaza on Friday evening, medics said.

The eight members of the Abu Jurad family -- two men, two women, and four children -- were killed in their home in Beit Hanun, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.

He had given an initial toll of five dead in the attack, but revised it upwards to eight, adding the deaths of three additional children from the family.

He gave the names of the children as Hania, Ahlam, Samih and Musa -- two girls and two boys.Their deaths raised the toll on the eleventh day of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas to 292 killed in Gaza.Two Israelis have been killed, one civilian and one soldier.
