The Israeli Aggression Continues
The Israeli war on Gaza has been going on for 79 days now. The Israeli forces are targeting different areas of the Gaza Strip, while the Palestinian resistance is fighting back in various locations. There are also ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon.
Increasing Casualties
The number of people who have been killed in this war has risen to over 20,000, and more than 54,000 have been injured. The government office in Gaza has reported that the Israeli occupation forces have executed over 137 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza and North governorates.
Continuous Raids
Israeli airstrikes have caused casualties in Deir al-Balah and the Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip. The city of Deir al-Balah was bombed after residents from eight neighborhoods were asked to seek refuge there. Beit Hanoun has also been targeted, and there have been ongoing air and artillery bombardments in northern Gaza.
The heavy fire cover in the area suggests that Israeli forces are engaged in fierce fighting with resistance fighters.

The Israeli occupation forces stormed Al-Rafi'i School in Jabalia Al-Balad, arresting men and forcibly removing women. They also dropped smoke and phosphorous bombs on Jabalia al-Balad and the Al-Jarn area while attempting to advance in the region.
