The Israeli enemy forces have continued their war of genocide against the Gaza Strip since resuming it 64 days ago, and 592 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, amidst international silence and unprecedented abandonment by the international community and Arab states.

Eyewitnesses described harrowing scenes of charred bodies pulled from the rubble of destroyed buildings. An Israeli drone strike on the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza wounded several more, while heavy artillery fire pounded the Nuseirat refugee camp. The home of the al-Maqeed family in Jabalia was reduced to rubble by an airstrike, killing nine.
In Khan Yunis, at least 15 perished when Israeli jets targeted a petrol station sheltering the displaced. Residential buildings, homes, and more schools came under a hail of bombs and shells across the besieged Palestinian enclave from Beit Lahia in the north to Deir al-Balah and Khan Yunis in the south. Scores more have been wounded in the onslaught, overwhelming Gaza’s already strained hospitals.
