GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip, now entering its 39th consecutive day, following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s withdrawal from the ceasefire agreement.
This has occurred under the cover of unwavering American political and military support and amid unprecedented silence and abandonment by the international community.
According to the PIC correspondents, the IOF troops have carried out dozens of air raids and demolitions of homes, as the humanitarian toll of Israel’s continued blockade on basic food supplies—enforced since early March—intensifies, painting a grim picture of worsening famine in the besieged territory.
Several civilians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since early Friday morning.
Sham Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud Al-Rous succumbed to injuries sustained during the massacre of the Abu Al-Rous family, which occurred days earlier inside displacement tents west of Khan Yunis.
Multiple civilians were also injured in an airstrike targeting the Shaat family’s home in the Al-Manara neighborhood in southern Khan Yunis.
Five members of the Abu Ta’miya family, including both parents and their three children, were killed in a massacre in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis. The victims were identified as Ibrahim Khalil Abu Ta’miya, his pregnant wife Hanadi Shaaban Abu Ta’miya (Abu Sibt), and their children: Samira, 8, Azem, 6, and Raafat, 4.
Israeli forces also demolished residential buildings in northern Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
An Israeli airstrike targeted a medical clinic in Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City. The Civil Defense confirmed multiple injuries at the scene.
Yesterday, Israeli warplanes launched a wave of heavy airstrikes across several areas of Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 65 Palestinians.
Since Israel resumed its assault on Gaza on 18 March, nearly 2,000 Palestinians have been killed and 5,200 wounded, according to the latest figures released by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
