For the 712th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression against the Gaza Strip, unleashing a wave of intense bombardment that has killed dozens and caused widespread destruction across residential neighborhoods. The Israeli aggression has seen an unprecedented escalation, particularly in the northern and western areas of Gaza City.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported that sustained Israeli bombing has destroyed residential towers and communications infrastructure, plunging Gaza City into a complete blackout. Israel’s complete severing of internet services has isolated approximately 800,000 Palestinians from the outside world, an action the group states is occurring “amid an escalating genocide.”
Recent attacks include:
- The bombing of the Abu Khair family home near the Abu al-Rus roundabout in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, which resulted in martyrs and injuries early Thursday.
- Civil defense crews recovering martyrs and injured individuals from a residential area in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, following an Israeli airstrike.
- The Israeli army detonating an armored vehicle bomb for the fourth time in the vicinity of the Intelligence Towers northwest of Gaza City. This coincided with the continued systematic demolition of homes in the city’s northwestern areas.
- Intense and continuous artillery shelling targeting civilian homes north of the city, alongside further detonations of armored vehicle bombs.
- An airstrike launched by Israeli warplanes north of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a separate attack, journalist Mohammed al-Sawalihi, a cameraman for Al-Quds Today TV, was martyred in an airstrike targeting him in Gaza City. His death brings the number of journalists killed since the beginning of the aggression to 251.
