Day 458: Israeli Occupation continues assault on Gaza
Israeli Occupation continues its relentless assault on Gaza, systematically targeting civilians and infrastructure.
The latest airstrikes have resulted in dozens of casualties, including children, women, and the elderly, as attacks on vulnerable groups intensify.
In the early hours of Monday, two Palestinians were killed and others injured when “Israeli” forces bombed an apartment in Gaza City’s Old Town. In northern Rafah’s Musabah area, two farmers were killed in a drone strike, according to Palestinian sources.
Four people lost their lives when an “Israeli” airstrike targeted the Barakat family home near Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza. Several others remain missing under the rubble.
Another strike on a home near Al-Omari Mosque in Al-Daraj, central Gaza, claimed the lives of a woman and her child, adding to the growing toll of civilian casualties.
Attacks on medical facilities
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that “Israeli” forces have carried out 50 attacks on hospitals in Gaza since October 2024. These strikes have rendered key hospitals in northern Gaza, including the Indonesian Hospital and Kamal Adwan Hospital, completely inoperable.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health has warned of an impending health and humanitarian catastrophe affecting thousands of residents, including children, women, and the injured, as essential medical services collapse.
