As the Israeli war on Gaza enters its 599th day, Israeli occupation forces have ramped up their military campaign, launching dozens of airstrikes across the densely populated enclave. The resurgence of hostilities—71 days after a broken ceasefire—has drawn condemnation from rights groups, while the international community remains largely paralyzed in its response.

According to local sources and medical officials, at least 82 Palestinians were martyred in airstrikes on Monday alone, including over 30 people who perished when warplanes targeted the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza City’s Al-Daraj neighborhood.
Multiple strikes were reported throughout the Gaza Strip, with significant casualties in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Khan Yunis. Among the dead were children Mustafa Wael Ali and Olina Nizar Bakroun, and physician Ihab Naim Dhamida, all victims of aerial bombardments in residential neighborhoods.

The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has issued alarming findings: 95% of Gaza’s agricultural land is now deemed unfit for cultivation. With Israel’s blockade restricting food aid since early March, humanitarian agencies warn that famine is tightening its grip on the region’s 2.3 million residents.
Israeli artillery also shelled eastern Gaza City and the town of Al-Qarara, compounding fears among civilians who say nowhere feels safe. Residents continue to suffer without basic necessities, while hospitals struggle under the weight of mounting injuries and shortages of medicine.
‘Israel’ resumed its aggression on Gaza on March 18, after violating the ceasefire agreement. Its airstrikes since then have killed more than 3,800 people and injured nearly 11,000, according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.
