GAZA, (The Palestine Foundation Pakistan)On its 731st day, the Israeli occupation’s genocidal assault continues nonstop on the Gaza Strip, via aerial strikes, artillery bombardment, starvation tactics, and targeting displaced civilians, with steadfast US military and political backing, and persistent international silence and abandonment.
The PIC correspondents report that Israeli forces ignored for the third consecutive day calls from the US president to halt the bombing, instead launching dozens of strikes and mass atrocities, intensifying displacement among over two million people facing severe famine, while focusing attacks on Gaza City in an effort to evacuate and destroy it.
