Gaza, July 31 (QNA) – Several Palestinians were injured last night in Israeli airstrikes, as occupation forces escalated their bombing of homes and forced evictions of residents in several areas of the Gaza Strip.

Two Palestinians, one in critical condition, were injured in another Israeli drone strike that targeted the city center. At the same time, Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes targeting residential buildings in other areas of the city.
