The Israeli occupation goes ahead with its massacres against civilians in Gaza on the 244 of the war on the besieged territory, as the Palestinian resistance keeps up its operations against IOF across the strip.
An Israeli air strike on a UN school packed with hundreds of displaced Palestinians in central Gaza has reportedly killed 40 people.
Dead and wounded people were rushed to the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital, in the nearby town of Deir Al-Balah which has been overwhelmed since the Israeli military began a new ground operation in central Gaza this week.

Government Media Office in Gaza said the occupation carried out a horrific massacre. According to their statement, out of the 40 people confirmed martyred in the attack on the UN-run school there, 14 were children and nine were women.
Out of 74 wounded in the attack, 23 are children and 18 are women, it added.
Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said at least 36,654 people have been martyred and 83,309 wounded in the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza since October 7.
Of them, 68 Palestinians were martyred and 235 wounded in the past 24 hours, the ministry added.
Resistance Operations
Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance groups kept up their operations against the Israeli occupation, with Reuters news agency citing an American official as saying that Hamas resistance movement “has shown the ability to re-emerge in areas that Israel believed were free of militants.”
Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Thursday that its fighters targeted two “D9” Zionist bulldozers with two “Al-Yassin 105” shells, east of the city of Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.
Al-Qassam declared that its fighters managed to infiltrate the fence near the southern city of Rafah and attacked an IOF site located in the area.
Also in Rafah, Al-Qassam said that resistance fighters detonated a tunnel shaft west of the city, killing or injuring at least 5 Israeli soldiers.
The Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades bombed the Kissufim military site east of the Central Governorate with 107 missiles. The video below shows the strike.
For its part, Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades published scenes from the joint operation with the Islamic Jihad’s Al-Quds Brigades in which the resistance fighters shelled of Israeli occupation forces in “Netzarim” axis.
Latest on Ceasefire Deal
On the other hand, the White House has put out a joint statement regarding the ceasefire deal outlined by US President Biden.
The statement, attributed to the leaders of the United States, Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Thailand and the United Kingdom, said the countries’ leaders “fully support the movement towards a ceasefire and hostage release deal now on the table and as outlined by President Biden on May 31, 2024”.
The statement claimed that “Israel is ready to move forward with the agreement” and called on Hamas to accept it and begin the process of releasing captives.
The proposal, which calls for a six-week ceasefire in phase one before a transition to a permanent ceasefire, has drawn mixed messages from Israeli officials, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming he is still committed to “eliminating” Hamas before ending the war.
For his part, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri has told Reuters that while the resistance group “appreciates Biden’s ideas”, the current ceasefire proposal does not provide a firm enough commitment that the war will end.
“The Israeli documents speak of open-ended negotiation with no deadline, and it speaks of a stage during which the occupation regains its hostages and resumes the war. We had told the mediators that such a paper wasn’t acceptable to us,” said Abu Zuhri.
“The (US) document…has no mention of ending the aggression or the withdrawal,” he added.
