The Israeli Aggression Continues
The Israeli war on Gaza has been going on for 120 days now, and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. This is causing a lot of concern for the more than one and a half million Palestinians who have been displaced from their homes.
Massacres and Casualties
The Israeli occupation forces have committed 12 massacres in the past 24 hours, resulting in the deaths of 107 people and injuring 165 others. The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has reported that the total number of Palestinian martyrs has reached 27,238, with 66,452 wounded.
Threats to Rafah
The Israeli forces have been intensively targeting the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. This has led to the destruction of the last two shelters for displaced people in the area. There are concerns that Israel will expand its ground operation in Rafah and Deir al-Balah, which are already crowded with displaced people.
International Concerns
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has expressed his concerns about Israel's statements regarding military action in Rafah. He warns that this could lead to more casualties and displacement of over 1.5 million Palestinians.
Resistance Operations
The resistance factions in the Gaza Strip have been fighting back against the Israeli occupation army. They have targeted tanks and military bulldozers, inflicting losses on the Israeli forces.
Leaders of the Security System
The leaders of the Israeli occupation security system are facing criticism for their failure in the October 7 attack. There are talks of them resigning from their positions, but they are still hesitant about the right time to do so.
Raids and Arrests in the West Bank
The Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out raids and arrests in several cities and villages in the West Bank. These actions have resulted in confrontations and injuries among Palestinian citizens. The number of detainees since October 7 has reached 6,500.
Protests Against Netanyahu
Hundreds of Israelis have taken to the streets to demand the overthrow of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. They blame him for the mismanagement of the prisoner exchange deal and accuse him of corruption.
US Secretary of State's Efforts
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is embarking on a tour in the Middle East to achieve a truce in Gaza and an exchange of prisoners between Israel and Hamas. He will be visiting Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and the West Bank.
American Strikes in Syria and Iraq
The United States has launched strikes on facilities in Syria and Iraq in response to an attack on American soldiers in Jordan. The targeted facilities were being used by Iranian Revolutionary Guard and affiliated militias. The US is not seeking a broader war or conflict with Iran.
Yemen Front
Yesterday, a US Navy destroyer shot down a drone in the morning, and later in the day, some fighters and a warship shot down seven more drones. The US forces also destroyed four other drones on the ground before they could be launched.
Houthi said that American and British forces launched three raids on Saada Governorate in Yemen. That happened early in the morning.
Northern Front
Lebanese Hezbollah told Aljazeera that their fighters targeted the Israeli Khirbet Maar base near the Lebanese border. They used the right weapons for the job!
The Israeli army noticed that three missiles crossed Lebanese territory and landed in open areas in the Upper Galilee. Luckily, no one got hurt.
Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV said that some drones fired a missile towards Yaroun, and the Israeli army also shelled the Al-Kharibah area near Rashaya Al-Fakhar.
On the other hand, Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids on the towns of Aita al-Shaab and Yaroun, as well as the Jabal Balat area in southern Lebanon. The Israeli artillery also bombed the surroundings of the towns of Rashaya al-Fakhar and Dhahira.
The Israeli army said that their warplanes targeted what they believed were Hezbollah sites in Lebanon.
These are the latest updates on the Israeli aggression on Gaza. The situation remains tense, and there are ongoing efforts to find a resolution and bring peace to the region.
