For the 118th consecutive day, the Gaza Strip has been ravaged by the Israeli occupation forces, sparking what can only be described as a genocide against the Palestinian people. The relentless assault has seen airstrikes, artillery shelling, and fire belts launched against civilians, resulting in the loss of innocent lives and horrifying crimes committed in areas of incursion. This aggression shows no signs of abating, as the Israeli occupation forces persist in their campaign of destruction.

According to the Palestinian Information Center, the occupation aircraft and artillery intensified their raids and bombings across various parts of the Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on the city of Khan Yunis. Homes, displaced persons’ gatherings, and streets were ruthlessly targeted, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of martyrs and leaving countless wounded in their wake.

One victim of this unrelenting violence is Muhammad Hussam Al-Shaer, a child who lost his life as a result of injuries sustained in a car bombing in Rafah. As the chaos continues, citizens have rallied to recover the bodies of 22 martyrs, hauling them on trailers from the Khan Yunis camp to the Nasser Medical Complex for burial in the hospital yard.

Sadly, the humanitarian crisis shows no signs of abating. The Palestine Red Crescent Society has reported that Israeli occupation vehicles stormed Al-Amal Hospital for the third time, subjecting it to heavy fire and endangering the lives of medical staff and patients. Bullets pierced five vehicles, including ambulances, further exacerbating the dire circumstances faced by the Palestinian population.

Israeli gunboats have also engaged in intensive bombardments along the coast of Rafah, causing additional casualties among the civilian population. The Abu Fayyad family, residing in the new camp west of Nuseirat, fell victim to an occupation bombing, resulting in injuries. Meanwhile, the Al-Amal neighborhood and the vicinity of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, both located west of Khan Yunis, were subjected to merciless artillery bombardment.
The violence has even targeted children, Hamza Nader Al-Buhaisi, the son of a Red Crescent ambulance officer, lost his life when the occupation forces bombed the Al-Buhaisi family home in Deir Al-Balah. In a further illustration of the gravity of the situation, Israeli airstrikes continued unabated, with yet another raid unfolding south of Rafah.

The persistent clashes between the resistance and occupation forces, occurring northeast of Bureij, underscore the intensity of the conflict. With a devastating toll mounting, it is crucial to acknowledge that since October 7, Israel’s destructive war on the Gaza Strip has resulted in over 100,000 casualties, including martyrs, missing individuals, and the wounded. Shockingly, 70% of these victims are children and women.

The destruction of hundreds of thousands of housing units and the forced displacement of approximately 2 million people have only intensified the suffering faced by the resilient Palestinian population.
