Israeli Aggression Continues in Gaza
On the 106th day of the Israeli aggression, things are still pretty intense. The Israeli forces have been bombing and fighting with the Palestinian resistance in different parts of Gaza. It's been really tough for the people there.
14 Massacres in The Past 24 Hours
Just in the past 24 hours, Israel has done some really terrible things. They've attacked families and committed 14 massacres, which means a lot of people have been killed or injured. It's really sad and unfair.
Support for Palestine
But it's not all bad news. In some European countries, there have been huge demonstrations in support of Gaza. People are coming together and calling for an end to the Israeli aggression. It's really important to stand up for what's right!
Battles in Gaza
Now, let's talk about what's been happening in Gaza. There have been battles and clashes between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli forces in different areas.
Northern Axis
In the northern part of Gaza, the Palestinian resistance has been fighting back against the Israeli forces. They've been able to stop the Israeli soldiers from entering certain areas and even targeted their vehicles. It's really brave of them to stand up against the occupation forces.
Gaza City
In Gaza City, there have been confrontations too. The Palestinian resistance, called the Al-Quds Brigades, have been sniping soldiers and setting up traps for them. They've been able to cause some damage and even kill and wound some soldiers. It's a tough fight, but they're not giving up!
Central and Southern Regions
In the central and southern parts of Gaza, there have been fierce confrontations as well. The Palestinian resistance has been destroying tanks and bombing Israeli army positions. They're doing everything they can to protect their land and people.
More Martyrs and Injuries
Unfortunately, there have been more people who lost their lives or got injured because of the Israeli attacks. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 165 people were killed and 280 others were injured in just the past 24 hours. It's really heartbreaking to hear about so many lives being lost.
Hunger and Settler Violence
Hunger in Gaza
On top of all the violence, there's another big problem in Gaza. About 800,000 Palestinians are suffering from a lack of basic things like food and supplies. Israel has been blocking aid from reaching them, and it's causing a lot of hardship for the people there. It's really unfair and something needs to change.
Settler Attacks
In the West Bank, which is another area where Palestinians live, there have been attacks by Israeli settlers. They've been hurting Palestinian farmers, shepherds, and even threatening to kick them out of their homes. It's really scary and wrong.

South Lebanon axis
Naim Qassem, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, said that if the party waits for Israel to finish what it wants in Gaza, the next turn will be for the party in Lebanon. Qassem added that the party's work in southern Lebanon is a defensive action to support Gaza and Lebanon.
On the ground, Lebanese Hezbollah announced that it targeted a gathering of occupation soldiers in the vicinity of the Al-Dhahira site and caused injuries. They also attacked two other gatherings of soldiers in the vicinity of Hunin Castle and Zarit Barracks. According to Al Jazeera's correspondent, the outskirts of the town of Al-Adisa in southern Lebanon were subjected to two Israeli raids. Israeli artillery also bombed the surroundings of the towns of Yaroun, Aitaroun, and the Marjayoun Plain.
The Civil Defense in southern Lebanon reported that two people were killed in an Israeli raid that targeted a car in the town of Al-Bazouriya in the Tire region in southern Lebanon. A drone bombed a car as it passed through the town of Al-Bazouriyah, completely burning the car. The victims were transported to the hospital by ambulance teams.
An American raid on a Houthi missile
In Yemen, the US Central Command launched an air strike on a Houthi anti-ship missile that was prepared for launch and targeting the Gulf of Aden. The missile represented a threat to commercial ships and US Navy ships in the region, and it was destroyed in self-defense.
According to Reuters, commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah are in Yemen to help direct and supervise Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea. Iran has intensified its arms supplies to the Houthis, providing them with advanced drones, anti-ship cruise missiles, precision ballistic missiles, and medium-range missiles.
The Israeli American debate regarding the two-state solution
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he would not give up full Israeli security control over all the lands west of Jordan. He emphasized that security control is necessary to ensure that Gaza does not pose any future security threat to Israel.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office denied reports about Netanyahu's commitment to the Palestinian state during his call with US President Joe Biden. Netanyahu reiterated his firm position regarding the Palestinian state. Biden confirmed that Netanyahu did not oppose the two-state solution, stating that it was not impossible with Netanyahu in power.
The Palestinian presidency called on the United States to recognize the State of Palestine and not just talk about a two-state solution. They emphasized that the Palestinian people will not give up their legitimate rights, Jerusalem and its sanctities, and the establishment of their independent Palestinian state.
Scenario of the day after the war
Israeli military commanders believe that the recovery of the hostages is possible through diplomatic means rather than military action. They stated that recovering the hostages and destroying Hamas have become incompatible goals. The Israeli military expressed concerns about the indecision of the political leadership and the erosion of allied support due to the lack of a post-war plan.
The New York Times reported that Israel had imposed its control in Gaza on a smaller portion than originally planned. Israeli documents indicated that their plans included controlling the cities of Gaza, Khan Yunis, and Rafah by late December.
Demonstrations for a Prisoner Exchange Deal
Israelis gathered in downtown Tel Aviv to protest the policy of Benjamin Netanyahu's government in managing the war on Gaza. They demanded the dismissal of the Israeli government, immediate elections, and the formation of a new government to unify the Israeli ranks. The families of the prisoners also continued to demonstrate in front of Netanyahu's house in Caesarea, urging him to conclude a deal to release their detained children in the Gaza Strip.
Massive demonstrations in several European cities in solidarity with Gaza
Several European countries witnessed massive demonstrations in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, calling for an end to the Israeli aggression. The demonstrations have been ongoing for 105 consecutive days in Berlin, Germany, and 19 other demonstrations were launched throughout Germany and most European countries to denounce the European policy towards the aggression against Gaza.
Guterres: Denying the Palestinians' right to build their state is unacceptable
