Continuous Bombing on the Gaza Strip

The "Israeli" occupation continues its aggression against Gaza, as the occupation artillery launched intense bombardment on the southern, southwestern, and eastern areas of Gaza City, specifically the areas of Sheikh Ajlin, Tal Al-Hawa, and Al-Zaytoun, which led to the injury of a number of citizens.

The Gaza Civil Defense announced the recovery of the bodies of martyrs after the occupation forces withdrew from northern Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, and there are still many martyrs under the rubble and rubble who have not yet been brought out.

600 Thousand Without Health Services

Regarding the health situation in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health explained that the occupation deliberately destroyed the health system in the Gaza and North Gaza regions. The ministry noted that more than 600,000 people in the two regions have no real health services, and confirmed that the occupation deliberately committed brutal massacres and carried out direct executions of medical personnel and patients in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and hospitals in northern Gaza.

They called for the provision of field hospitals with a capacity of 200 beds, including operating rooms, intensive care, laboratory and diagnostic services to meet the needs of the population, and international multidisciplinary medical teams.

Sniper attacks

For the 195th day in a row, the Palestinian resistance continues its operations and confronts the Zionist forces penetrating into several areas of Gaza.   

Today, Thursday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), showed scenes of a sniper attack on a Zionist soldier east of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.

Threatening to Invade Rafah

The commander of a battalion in the occupation army vowed to invade Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, after they withdrew from the Nuseirat camp in the center of the Strip.

The occupation army radio reported on Thursday, according to the Al Jazeera website. Net” that Lieutenant Colonel Dotan, commander of the “932nd Battalion” in the occupation army, said to the “Israeli” soldiers on the outskirts of the Nuseirat camp, at the end of the military operation: “We are going to Rafah.”

In the same context, a report by the Al-Araby Al-Jadeed website, citing informed sources, indicated that the US administration showed acceptance of the military operation in Rafah in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran.

The sources pointed out that the “Israeli” plan relies on the method of displacement, by dividing Rafah into numbered squares, so that one square after another is targeted, prompting those in it to move away from it, specifically towards Khan Yunis and the Al-Mawasi area.

While the website quoted a prominent Western diplomat, that Netanyahu was able, through political maneuvering, to obtain American facilities for the military operation in Rafah, which was not welcomed by America at this time, in exchange for retreating from carrying out a broad military action against Iran, in response to its attack. the last one.

Other sources explained that Iran warned of the situation getting out of control in the region, as it informed the American administration in new messages through mediators that if “Israel” carries out threats to attack its interests in the region or inside Iran, it will be met with a response that would get the situation out of control.

Among the messages that Iran sent to Washington through mediators was that it would reconsider its nuclear program if the “Israeli” occupation wanted to target its nuclear facilities, according to the same sources.

Survivors Struggle with Mental Health

50 Israelis who attended the "Nova" concert in "Kibbutz Re'im" in the "Gaza envelope" area, which coincided with the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, committed suicide as a result of the "bureaucracy" adopted by Israeli institutions specialized in providing survivors with treatment and psychological support. According to Israeli media, the total number is 3,800.

This information was revealed on Tuesday during the deliberations of the Knesset Oversight Committee, which discussed what happened between Palestinian resistance members and Israeli security forces in the vicinity of the concert, as well as the assistance provided to the survivors of the events, and the difficulties they face while receiving assistance, and the treatment and psychological support provided by the authorities. Of specialization.

The parliamentary committee, headed by Miki Levy, a member of the Knesset from the “There is a Future” party, held its deliberations with the participation of many survivors who, during their testimonies, expressed strong criticism of the behavior of the authorities and the National Insurance Institute, as their living conditions and psychological ordeal were reviewed.

It is evident from the data of the "Natal" organization - which was presented during the deliberations of the parliamentary committee - that 679 survivors of the concert events were treated in the organization's clinical unit, of whom 431 are still receiving treatment and suffer from many symptoms such as attacks and feelings of anxiety, reflux, and difficulty sleeping. Nighttime urination, muscle pain, chest pressure, jaw clenching, nightmares, disturbing thoughts, and sleepwalking.

During their participation in the parliamentary session, many survivors spoke about the inability to adapt to the conditions and developments following the events of October 7, as well as the difficulty of returning to routine and loss of confidence, and the symptoms they suffer from are summarized in the psychological and social distress that afflicted them and their families, according to Haaretz newspaper. .

Questioning the Testimonies

The Israeli Channel 7 website, affiliated with the far-right camp, reported the experience of survivor Guy Ben Shimon, who said, “There are approximately 50 suicide cases among Nova survivors, and this number was correct two months ago, and there are many people who were forcibly admitted to the hospital.” ".

According to Ben Chamoun, the financial allocations he receives from the National Insurance Institute are expected to stop next May. He added, "I do not see myself returning to work. We need continuous treatment. I tried to return to work three times, but the treating doctor said that your body secretes adrenaline. I and hundreds of people like me will never be able to return to work."

Ben Chamoun’s testimony shocked the participants in the deliberations of the parliamentary committee, as the representative of the Ministry of Health was quick to deny it, and claimed that the number of suicides was incorrect, and that “the Ministry knows that there are fewer than 10 suicide cases among survivors of the massacre,” as he described it.

Denial of Suicide Cases

In the context of an attempt to refute these data about the number of suicide cases revealed by Ben Shimon, the head of the mental health department in the Ministry of Health, Gilad Bodenheimer, said, “The rumors about the number of suicide cases and the number of hospitalizations among the survivors of the Nova concert are incorrect, and through examination with... "Relevant agencies involved in the treatment of Nova survivors show that this data is unknown."

Difficulty adapting

During the deliberations of the parliamentary committee, survivor Naama Eitan recounted her ongoing suffering since October 7, saying, “I participated in medical research to examine my pulse and other indicators, and it revealed to me the extent of my poor health condition. My average sleeping hours are two hours a night.”

Eitan recalled the first moments that followed the sudden attack launched by the Palestinian resistance, noting that during the events and confrontations she spent 7 hours under a tree, where “Hamas gunmen” were passing by, and during that time she called the police repeatedly, and she said in her testimony, “I was calling the police for help.” On the phone, where are you? Why is no one coming? Pointing out that she finds it difficult to adapt and return to normal life.

She added, "My head is buzzing and I bring back memories of being there, of the NOVA events. I need someone to accompany me all the time. If it were not for my psychiatrist, I would not be here. Why do I have to prove to someone what I went through, and detail what happened to me? I was there."

She continued, "I have friends who have not gotten out of bed yet. They need 24-hour care, support, assistance, and treatment. What is this approach and treatment?"

Lethal Actions

The same experience was reviewed by survivor Or Nasa, who said, “We do not sleep at night, and we cannot do anything during the day, and now they come and say that we have to fill out such and such a form. This dealing is ruining our whole day.”

Or Nasa added, "We are unable to do anything. One of my friends stopped working because of a psychological attack she suffered, but the National Insurance doctors did not recognize her as a work victim. I personally have to go to a psychiatrist, but I have an appointment in 5 months."

Survivors Share Their Stories

Maariv newspaper reviewed the testimony of survivor Yuval Rafael, who highlighted the suffering experienced by those who survived the events, saying, “Why is the suffering experienced by all survivors limited to the decisions of the National Insurance Committees regarding disability rates?”

Rafael explained that obtaining monthly allowances for life is only possible if the medical committees decide to grant the survivor a disability rate of up to 20%.

She wondered, “Why are not all survivors automatically recognized, other than giving them temporary disability rates that are valid only for the next year?” Why do they not receive the minimum disability rate? Why should they move from the October 7 war to the struggle against Social Security and the judicial authorities? And open their wounds to receive a fixed minimum allowance?

She concluded by saying, “I have quite a few friends who received less than 20% in these committees,” adding that she survived the events of October 7, “and I survived not for the sake of not living afterward.”

1. The Jewish Nation-State Law

One of Israel’s quasi-constitutional Basic Laws.  

Stipulates unique right to self-determination for Jewish people.
Encourages racial segregation and discrimination against Palestinians.
Directs state to promote Jewish settlement as national value.

2. The Law of “Return”

Gives Jews from anywhere in the world the right to immigrate to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories and to automatically receive Israeli citizenship. At the same time, Israel denies indigenous Palestinians who were expelled during and after Israel’s establishment their legal right to return to their homeland because they aren’t Jewish and treats Palestinian citizens of the state, who comprise more than 20% of Israel’s population, as second-class citizens.

3. The Admissions Committee Law

Authorizes hundreds of smaller towns to set up “admissions committees” to reject applications from Palestinians, LGBTQ people, and others deemed undesirable using criteria such as being “unsuitable to the social life of the community… or the social and cultural fabric of the town.”

4. Absentee Property Law and Land Acquisition Law

Allows Israel’s government to expropriate land and other property belonging to Palestinians who were driven from their homes during the state’s establishment. The primary tool used by Israel to steal huge amounts of land and private property from Palestinians who were expelled and denied their right to return, including many internally displaced within Israel’s borders.

5. Israel Lands Law

Another of Israel’s quasi-constitutional Basic Laws. Stipulates that ownership of state lands can only be transferred between the government and quasi-governmental agencies like the Jewish National Fund, which only leases land to Jews. Ninety-three percent of the land in Israel is state owned. Israel's discriminatory land policies make it extremely difficult for Palestinians with Israeli citizenship to gain access to land for residential, commercial, agricultural, or other uses.

6. The Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law

Prevents Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who are married to Palestinian citizens of Israel from gaining residency or citizenship status, including those who were expelled from towns inside what became Israel in 1948. Forces thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel to leave the country or live apart from their spouses and families.

7. The Nakba Law

Bans public funding for institutions and organizations involved in commemorating the violent expulsion of three quarters of all Palestinians during Israel’s establishment as a Jewish-majority state in 1948, known to Palestinians as the “Nakba” (“catastrophe”).

Palestinian Children, War on Gaza, Digital Design, Gaza, Palestinian Children's Day

Palestinian children suffer greatly throughout Palestinian territories and are exposed to imminent dangers. In addition to the general targeting of Palestinians, the occupation specifically targets childhood in Palestine. It inflicts torture upon children and adolescents through deliberate killings, horrifying massacres, frequent arrests accompanied by physical and psychological assaults, as well as targeting their schools, curricula, and institutions advocating for their rights and social frameworks.

The suffering of children exacerbates in the absence of providers and the martyrdom of most family members, rendering them double victims of both the dire need for family and the occupier targeting them.

Here, we focus on 5 crimes committed by the occupation authorities against children in Palestine in conjunction with the "Palestinian Children's Day."

1- Murder:

With the death toll of the aggression on the Gaza Strip surpassing 33,000 martyrs, Palestinian medical sources indicate that more than 14,000 of them, including children, were killed by the occupation aircraft since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources also indicate that there are larger numbers under the rubble of homes due to the difficulty of retrieving the martyrs' bodies.

Child killing is not limited to Gaza alone. Occupation forces kill children in various Palestinian areas on flimsy pretexts. In 2023, the occupation forces killed 135 Palestinian children in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.

2- Deprivation of Family Warmth:

The atrocities committed by the occupation authorities in Gaza are revealed day after day. The occupation has killed more than 9,000 women since the beginning of the aggression, including a large number of mothers. This means depriving the child of family warmth and stability. Since the beginning of the aggression, thousands of children have lost one or both parents. Estimates from UNRWA indicate that 17,000 orphans in the district have lost one or both parents. Additionally, a large number of children have been separated from their families due to the ground aggression and the cutting of Gaza's lifelines.

Many recorded videos have shown children arriving at Gaza hospitals below the age of speaking (most of them infants), with unknown families. Following these atrocious crimes, international bodies have begun using a new term abbreviated as "WCNSF," meaning "Wounded Child with No Surviving Family to Care for."

3- From Psychological Intimidation to Starvation:

Children are subjected to deliberate psychological intimidation, ranging from attacks by occupation forces, to the invasion and demolition of their homes, causing serious psychological traumas. According to specialists, the psychological condition of children in Palestine in general, and in the Gaza Strip in particular, has been severely affected by the aggression on the sector. In Gaza, children have exhibited symptoms such as excessive levels of continuous anxiety, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and experiencing severe emotional outbursts or panic attacks triggered by the sound of bombs and explosions. Many recorded videos shared by activists in Gaza have revealed children being martyred due to their extreme fear of the sounds of explosions.

Occupation authorities did not stop at these crimes alone; they exacerbated them with the crime of starvation. Palestinians in general, and children in particular, are deprived of sufficient food and clean water. This has led to the martyrdom of more than 15 children due to the famine striking the northern Gaza Strip. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), 31% of children under the age of two in northern Gaza suffer from severe malnutrition, meaning 1 in every 3 children. The prevalence rate of severe malnutrition among children under the age of five in the north has increased from 13% to 25%, according to the organization. The World Health Organization confirms that malnutrition has affected around 90% of children in Gaza.

4- Deprivation of Medical Care:

The occupation targeted the healthcare sector in the Gaza Strip to deprive Palestinians of any means of resilience against the Zionist killing machine. This has led to the spread of infectious diseases in the sector. According to the World Health Organization, 90% of children under the age of five are infected with at least one infectious disease. With the shortage of medications, these diseases ravage the bodies of children suffering from malnutrition.

Regarding the occupation's crimes and its intensified targeting of Palestinians, reports from UN organizations in January 2024 revealed that around a thousand children in Gaza have lost one or both of their legs since the beginning of the occupation's aggression. These reports also highlighted that most of the surgical operations for children were performed without anaesthesia, and emphasized the lack of medical teams and equipment in the Gaza Strip.

5- Arrests:

Occupation forces annually arrest hundreds of children from various occupied Palestinian territories. The occupation forces treat them with the same treatment received by Palestinian prisoners. They arrest sick children and underage girls, subjecting them to various physical and psychological assaults. This begins with brutal beatings upon their arrest, transferring them in military vehicles under continuous beatings and insults, all the way to interrogation centres where children are subjected to the most heinous forms of torture.

The violations against children do not stop there. The occupation authorities also impose heavy fines on the families of children, in addition to imposing house arrest and depriving them of continuing their education.

 Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, said in statements reported by the Iranian News Agency (IRNA): “We have no intention to continue the operation against Israel,” and that the operation has ended from our point of view." Bagheri confirmed that the operation carried out byIran was a punishment, warning that Iran's response to any action would be much greater.

While Arab countries called for restraint to spare the region and its peoples from the dangers of escalation and its effects.

Jordan confirmed its readiness to confront threats after monitoring and confronting flying objects that entered the Kingdom's airspace.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi explained, according to the official Jordanian News Agency, that some flying objects that entered our airspace last night (Saturday) were dealt with and confronted to prevent them from endangering the safety of our citizens and residential and populated areas.

In a statement on Sunday, the Hamas movement considered the operation carried out by Iran against the occupying state a natural right and a deserved response to the crime of targeting the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

 Hamas stated that it affirms the region's countries and peoples' natural right to self-defense against Zionist attacks. Hamas urged the Arab and Islamic nations, the free people of the world, and resistance forces in the region and around the world to continue supporting the "Al-Aqsa Flood" and the Palestinian people's right to freedom and independence, as well as the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
