Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed dozens of Palestinians, including a local journalist, as the death toll in the besieged territory approaches 39,000. The Israeli military has launched strikes in various parts of Gaza, resulting in numerous casualties. The Palestinian Civil Defence retrieved the bodies of 12 people killed in attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp, while additional fatalities were reported in other areas.
The ongoing bombardment has caused widespread destruction, including the bombing of a residential tower and a commercial building housing displaced people. The death toll includes 161 Palestinian journalists, highlighting the dangers faced by media personnel in the conflict. The Ministry of Health reported 37 people killed in a single day, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths to nearly 39,000.
The situation in Gaza has been further exacerbated by a blockade imposed by Israel, leading to a hunger crisis and health concerns. The Ministry of Interior warned against further displacement of Palestinians, accusing Israel of using psychological pressure tactics. Hamas has condemned Israel’s actions, calling for intervention by the United Nations to halt the violence.
Amidst the escalating conflict, talks of a ceasefire deal have been ongoing, with Hamas demanding the release of Israeli captives. The recent intensification of Israeli attacks has been seen as a response to international condemnation of the occupation. Hamas has vowed to continue resisting Israeli aggression, emphasizing that there will be a price to pay for the crimes committed. The Qassam Brigades and allied groups have carried out attacks against Israeli forces in retaliation.
