Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported that the death toll from the Israeli Occupation's assault on the Gaza Strip has risen to 43,391, with 102,347 people injured.

This comes on the 396th day of the “Israeli” offensive on Gaza, with intensified attacks targeting hospitals. “Israeli” forces struck the children’s ward, nursery, and water tanks at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon in response to what they describe as ongoing Israeli Occupation transgressions in Palestinian territories. In response, the Israeli Occupation military launched "Operation Iron Swords," which has led to further airstrikes and artillery fire across Gaza, resulting in extensive destruction of buildings and infrastructure.

In parallel, Hezbollah has initiated its own support campaign for Gaza, leading to repeated exchanges of fire across the Lebanon-Israeli Occupation border since October. The situation has driven widespread displacement in southern Lebanon due to intensified 'Israeli' airstrikes.
