The Israeli occupation forces continue their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, now in its 573rd day and 45 days since resuming full-scale aggression—following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s withdrawal from the ceasefire agreement.
This renewed onslaught proceeds with unwavering US political and military backing, amid deafening international silence and unprecedented global inaction.
According to local sources, Israeli occupation forces carried out dozens of airstrikes and home demolitions, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe, particularly as the Israeli enemy has blocked the entry of essential food supplies since early March. This blockade has pushed Gaza’s population deeper into famine.
Continuous Bombardment and Civilian Casualties
Israeli warplanes bombed northern Gaza, killing Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al-Mughari in a strike on Al-Istabl Street west of Khan Younis. Five Palestinians, including three siblings, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Sha’sha’a area east of Jabalia refugee camp and were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza.
In Deir Al-Balah, Mariam Karaz succumbed to injuries sustained in a previous Israeli strike on the “Zeitouna” café in central Gaza.

Fighter jets also launched intense fire belts targeting the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City and eastern Jabalia. Meanwhile, four people, including children, were injured when Zionist forces bombed a displacement tent on Al-Ishreen Street in Al-Nuseirat camp.
Further south, two civilians were killed, and others were injured in an Israeli strike on a group of residents south of Khan Younis.
Israeli airstrikes also hit Beit Hanoun in the north, alongside sound bomb attacks on Al-Salib Street in central Khan Younis.

In another deadly incident, Mohammad Moein Al-Mubayyed died after being shot by an Israeli “quadcopter” drone earlier Wednesday during attacks on Al-Nazzaz Street in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.
Gaza’s Health Ministry’s daily briefing revealed that the total number of casualties since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on October 7, 2023, has reached 52,400 martyrs and 118,014 wounded. Since the resumption of Israeli aggression on March 18, 2,308 people have been killed and 5,973 injured.
Many victims remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed homes or lie in the streets, unreachable due to the ongoing attacks and the collapse of civil defense and ambulance services.
With full American support, the Israeli occupation has carried out a campaign of mass killings and destruction in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving over 170,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, along with over 11,000 missing.
