The Israeli Occupation persists in its ongoing aggression against Gaza for the 201st consecutive day, witnessing numerous atrocities including genocide, starvation, abuse, displacement, and creating a humanitarian crisis.

Gaza's Health Ministry records revealed that 34,183 Palestinians have lost their lives and 77,143 have been injured since October 7th.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) are gearing up for a military operation in Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, reportedly planning to launch it "very soon," according to the Hebrew Broadcasting Authority.

Citing two anonymous military sources, the Hebrew Broadcasting Authority reported that the IOF intend to urge over a million Palestinians in Rafah to evacuate to the central and southern parts of the Strip.

Abu Obaida, the military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, remarked that the Israeli Occupation is still attempting to salvage its reputation but has only managed to perpetrate mass killings, destruction, and violence, 200 days after the Operation Aqsa Typhoon.
