Israel’s War on Gaza Intensifies! Click to Witness the Dramatic Turn of Events
As Israeli tanks and planes attacked the southern and central regions of the Gaza Strip on Sunday, tensions in the continuing confrontation between Israel and Hamas have increased. With no deaths recorded as of yet, Hamas responded by firing another volley of missiles in the direction of Ashdod, an Israeli town 40 kilometers distant.
The Israeli military reported the destruction of several silos utilized by Hamas for missile launches. The conflict has now shifted its focus to the southern end of Gaza, where nearly 2 million people are seeking refuge in temporary accommodations.
Despite calls for a ceasefire, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that Israel will persist until achieving complete victory over Hamas and recovering remaining hostages. The military outlines the next phase as months of targeted operations against the leaders and positions of the Iranian-backed movement.
There were four militants who were reportedly killed as a consequence of a low-level gunfight between Israeli soldiers and the Hezbollah group near the northern border with Lebanon. A mother, aged seventy-six, and her son were killed when anti-tank rockets were launched into northern Israel.
Not only has the fighting impacted Gaza, but it has also made the Israeli-occupied West Bank violent. Israeli forces are reported to have killed five Palestinians, including teenagers, in separate incidents. The military stated that these incidents involved confrontations at checkpoints and attacks on army bases.
Israeli Army Claims to Kill 5 Palestinian Fighters
The Israeli army has reported the killing of five Palestinian fighters in northern Gaza and additional casualties in southern Khan Younis due to recent air raids. The military claimed to have struck weapons depots in Khan Younis, confiscating various weaponry from Hamas, including AK-47s, handguns, and grenades.
According to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, the latest Israeli air raids resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children. The strikes particularly targeted infrastructure and homes, with a displaced family in western Khan Younis reportedly hit inside a tent.
As the conflict enters its 100th day, the death toll among Palestinians in Gaza has reached nearly 24,000, with over 65,000 tonnes of bombs unleashed. Israel initiated the assault in response to an attack by armed fighters, leading to a continuous bombing campaign and tightened restrictions on Gaza.
Israel faces accusations of genocide in Gaza at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defiantly stating that nothing will deter Israel from its course.
Deadly Night in Gaza: Over 100 Palestinians Killed in Israeli Attacks
Tragically, Israel’s nighttime air and land assaults across the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of over 100 Palestinians. 50 civilian remains were recovered from the wreckage of a residential structure in Gaza City’s heavily populated Al-Daraj district, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Families that lived in the targeted building comprised the majority of the casualties.In a separate attack on Sabra and Al-Zeitoun neighborhoods, five Palestinians were killed, and ten others sustained injuries due to artillery shelling. The attacks extended to homes in Tal Al-Hawa and Sheikh Ajleen areas, southwest of Gaza City.
In central Gaza, casualties were reported as missiles struck homes in the Al-Sawarha area and refugee camps in Al-Maghazi and Al-BureijIsraeli bombs on Khan Younis homes also claimed the lives of about thirty Palestinians, including women and children.
85% of Gaza’s population is internally displaced because to the ongoing fighting, and there are severe shortages of basic supplies. The enclave’s infrastructure continues to be severely damaged, with 60% now in ruins, intensifying the humanitarian crisis.
