Israeli occupation forces continue their war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, resuming it 60 days ago and 588 days after the start of the aggression. This followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reneging on the ceasefire agreement, relying on American political and military support, amid international silence and unprecedented abandonment by the international community and Arab states.

Palestinian sources report extensive bombardment across Gaza, with over 140 people martyred or missing following raids on homes in Beit Lahia and Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The situation has been exacerbated by severe food shortages since March, creating what observers describe as famine conditions throughout the enclave.

In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft targeted southeastern areas of Deir al-Balah while simultaneously conducting artillery strikes in Al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Yunis. Medical teams recovered 15 bodies from the rubble in northern Gaza but faced significant challenges reaching other victims due to targeted attacks on ambulance crews.
