The devastating Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip continues to escalate, leaving a trail of destruction, suffering, and loss of innocent lives in its wake.

As the northern Gaza Strip endures its 91st consecutive day under a suffocating siege and relentless bombardment, the death toll mounts with each passing hour.
In a particularly brutal assault, the occupation forces targeted homes, tents of displaced people, and civilian gatherings, resulting in the martyrdom of 85 Palestinians in a single bloody day.

The resistance remains steadfast in confronting the criminal enemy, dealing painful blows as evidenced by the detonation of an explosive device that injured three Israeli soldiers in a tank from the 52nd Battalion in Jabalia.
The occupation’s ruthless campaign shows no signs of abating, with hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, especially the Indonesian Hospital, coming under intense artillery shelling and homes being set ablaze.

Amidst the chaos and devastation, the occupation issued callous “evacuation orders” to those trapped in the Indonesian Hospital, many of whom are elderly women, children, people with disabilities, and injured individuals unable to move.

The dire situation in the hospital underscores the inhumanity of the occupation’s actions, as those seeking refuge are denied basic guarantees of safety during displacement.
Meanwhile, the central Gaza Strip faces its own horrors, with 17 Palestinians, including a journalist, falling victim to the incessant Israeli bombing since dawn on Friday.
Medical sources paint a grim picture, confirming at least 90 Palestinian deaths in hostile raids on the Strip, with 43 lives lost in the north alone.

The atrocities committed by the occupation forces are a blatant violation of international law and a testament to their disregard for human life.
It is noteworthy that journalist Omar Al-Diraoui was killed as a result of a hostile raid that targeted his family’s home in the town of Al-Zawaida in the central Gaza Strip, a day after the martyrdom of photojournalist Hassan Al-Qishawi after he was targeted by a missile from an Israeli drone west of Gaza City.
