Amid a recent and violent upswing, Israeli forces have bombarded various areas of Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 45 Palestinians over the past 24 hours.
Gaza Bombings and West Bank Raids Israeli
As per an Al Jazeera report, Israeli powers designated safe zones in Gaza, bringing about “weighty losses.” Furthermore, Israeli forces confined three Palestinians after surrounding a house in Jenin, located in the occupied West Bank.
The raid caused armed clashes that injured several Palestinians. Israeli media reported that related operations killed two Palestinian fighters.
Increasing Casualties and Arrests Israeli
Palestinians are paying for the ongoing conflict with their lives. Since last year’s attack on October 7th alone, Israeli forces have killed 552 Palestinians and injured another 5,200 in the West Bank. Moreover, 9,300 Palestinians have been captured by Israel throughout various operations.
Wider Consequences of Israeli Aggression
The scale of Israeli military actions in Gaza is immense. So far, this has led to the deaths of 37,431 people, including women and children, with another 85,653 individuals wounded.
Undeterred by U.S. warnings against further bombardments on western areas near Rafah – designated safe zones –Israeli troops intensified their shelling there today.
Rafah Refugee Camp Attack
In a devastating strike early Sunday morning (local time), a UNRWA-run school at Al-Mawasi was hit directly by tank artillery fire from tanks inside Israel’s territory, firing across into the southern Gaza Strip, where part or all may be considered de facto no man’s land since it has long been under control either side without a formal agreement between them; witnesses said they saw unexpected shelling on temporary tents being used as classrooms by children who had sought shelter following previous attacks elsewhere nearby — many families live here because it is proximity to Egyptian border crossing but still within easy reach if necessary travel northwards further into Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that an attack on tents housing displaced individuals killed at least 25 people and injured more than 50, bringing the total number of deaths over the past 24 hours to 45.
Health System Collapse Imminent
The World Health Organization has cautioned that Gaza’s medical services framework is near breakdown. Al-Quds Hospital received victims from a so-called “safe zone” in Al-Mawasi, but the facility already has a shortage of staff and supplies.
Hezbollah Retaliates; Regional Tensions Rise
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah announced yesterday evening that they would respond strongly if Israel continues its current behavior toward Lebanon or Syria. In a televised speech, Nasrallah said Hezbollah had advanced weapons and more significant numbers compared to previous years.
