Israeli forces have attacked the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCSin the Gaza Strip, causing a great deal of damage to the entire facility, which is home to thousands of displaced people in the besieged territory.

A Red Crescent spokesman said the headquarters, located in western Khan Younis, was targeted by the regime’s air strikes on Tuesday.

He said in a tweet that several people were injured in the attack.

The spokesman said that there is no safe place in the besieged Gaza Strip, as Israel intensifies its relentless air and ground offensive on Palestinians.

The Israeli military said its warplanes hit 100 targets in the south of the Gaza Strip in 24 hours.

The attacks on the area have killed at least 241 people in the past 24 hours and injured 382 others, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday.

The casualties resulting from the regime’s 11 weeks of constant bombing of the besieged strip nears 21, 000, more than 8000 of whom were children.

Almost 55,000 people have also been wounded since the regime launched its onslaught on Gaza on Oct.7.

Despite international calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive will not stop, but he can encourage Palestinians to leave the enclave.
