The ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians, including a local journalist and his family. The Israeli military has targeted various areas in the besieged territory, leading to widespread destruction and loss of life. Palestinian Civil Defence teams have been retrieving bodies from the rubble of bombed buildings, with at least 161 journalists in Gaza reported killed since the war began.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that 37 people were killed by Israeli forces in the previous 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to nearly 39,000. The Israeli blockade of Gaza has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, leading to hunger and the spread of diseases in the territory. The Ministry of Interior has warned residents against moving from north to south due to Israeli tactics of psychological pressure and displacement.
Hamas has accused Israel of escalating its bombing campaign in response to a recent ruling by the International Court of Justice declaring the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories illegal. The Palestinian group called on the United Nations to intervene and stop the “show of Zionist crimes and terrorism” with American support. Hamas’s military wing and allied groups have retaliated with attacks against Israeli forces, vowing that Israel’s actions will not go unpunished.
As talks for a ceasefire continue, the situation in Gaza remains dire, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence and displacement caused by the conflict. The international community has been urged to take action to end the bloodshed and hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza.
