The ongoing aggression against Gaza shows no signs of slowing down as the Israeli occupation forces continue to unleash havoc for the 95th consecutive day. With dozens of air strikes, artillery shelling, and fire belts, innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire, facing bloody massacres and horrific crimes in areas invaded as part of a genocidal act. The dire situation is further exacerbated by the catastrophic humanitarian crisis resulting from the siege, leading to the displacement of over 90% of the population.

According to the Palestinian Information Center, “The occupation aircraft and artillery relentlessly carried out raids and violent bombardments across various parts of the Gaza Strip today, targeting homes, communities, facilities, and streets, causing hundreds of casualties and injuries.” Al-Manar TV correspondent in Gaza also confirms the unrelenting attacks, particularly in Khan Yunis, where numerous lives were tragically lost.

The central Gaza Strip bore the brunt of the occupation aircraft’s rage as they launched multiple raids on the towns of Al-Zawaida and Al-Masdar. The United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs reports that three hospitals in the central governorate and Khan Yunis are at risk of closure due to evacuation orders and the continued fighting.
No respite came for Gaza City as the occupation aircraft initiated a series of separate raids throughout the night and early morning. The occupation artillery further intensified their assault by violently bombarding the southeastern areas of Khan Yunis for an unforgiving half-hour. Lives were senselessly lost when the house of the Nasrallah family, located east of Rafah, was targeted by Zionist warplanes. Another residential house, this time west of the Nuseirat camp, faced the same fate, causing one death and multiple injuries.
In a simultaneous display of brutality, the occupation forces unleashed a relentless barrage of lighting bombs around the Gaza European Hospital, situated east of Khan Yunis. This heinous act threatens the lives of innocent individuals in desperate need of medical care.
The 95th day of aggression against Gaza leaves no doubt that innocent lives continue to be lost in the face of destruction and crime.
