Day 214 of the Israeli Genocide War on Gaza
The war of genocide waged by Israel against the massacre of Gaza has entered its 214th day, amidst the Zionist occupation forces continuing to commit massacres against innocents, by launching dozens of air strikes, artillery shelling, and bloody massacres against civilians.
New Massacres
The occupation continues its aggression against Gaza, despite the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) expressing its approval of the ceasefire proposal, awaiting the Zionist response.
The Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported that 21 citizens, including children and women, were martyred since dawn on Tuesday, as the occupation bombed various areas in the Gaza Strip, the majority of them from the city of Rafah.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the occupation committed 6 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, as a result of which 54 martyrs and 96 injuries were brought to hospitals during the past 24 hours.
The Ministry confirmed, in its daily update, that the toll of the aggression had risen to 34,789 martyrs and 78,204 injuries since the seventh of last October.
Storming the Rafah Crossing Gate
Palestinian sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the Rafah land crossing, at dawn on Tuesday, amid shelling and heavy fire at its buildings, carrying out acts of sabotage and destruction, and raising the entity’s flag inside.
The Palestinian Safa Agency said: The occupation forces took control of the civilian crossing and prevented the movement of travelers and the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
The agency quoted the spokesman for the Gaza Crossings Authority, in a brief statement, as saying: The presence of the occupation forces at the Rafah crossing led to its closure and the prevention of traffic and travel.
In response to the occupation's storming of the Rafah crossing, the Palestinian factions called on the countries of the world and international and international institutions to intervene immediately to save the lives of 2.5 million citizens who are threatened by murder, hunger, massacres and genocide in the largest humanitarian disaster the world is witnessing now.
It also called for an international, international, regional, popular and official Arab and Islamic movement to immediately stop the war of genocide and curb the occupation’s terrorism, through sit-ins in squares, squares, cities and universities, cutting off supplies to the occupation by land, sea and air, and holding it accountable for its crimes in international courts.
The resistance called on all arenas and fronts to escalate their resistance against the Zionist occupation and its supporters until the aggression against the Palestinian people stops.
Al-Qassam Clashes with the Occupation Forces
The Palestinian resistance continues to confront the Zionist forces penetrating into several areas of Gaza, as the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced on Tuesday a set of its specific operations against the occupation forces.
Al-Qassam said, on its Telegram channel, that it destroyed the enemy forces penetrating east of the Rafah crossing with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
They added that it bombed enemy forces’ concentrations at the “Karam Shalom military site” with the 114 mm short-range “Rajoum” missile system.
In another post, it announced the bombing of enemy concentrations east of the city of Rafah with a 114 mm short-range “Rajum” missile system.
It indicated that its mujahideen were able to target a Zionist “Merkvah” tank with an “Al-Yassin 105” shell, setting it on fire, and clashing with soldiers barricaded inside a building near it in the Al-Shoka neighborhood, east of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli POWs Families
Thousands of Zionists demonstrated in a number of occupied cities, demanding the completion of the exchange deal and the return of prisoners after the Hamas movement approved the proposal of the Egyptian and Qatari mediators, yesterday evening, Monday.
The Hebrew channel "Kan" said: Dozens of demonstrators closed main streets in the city of Beersheba, demanding approval of a deal to release the entity's prisoners in Gaza.
The families of the prisoners threatened to “burn the country” if their government did not agree to the proposal, and they said during the demonstrations: “Hamas” agreed to the deal, and the time has come to return them, otherwise we will burn the country, according to what was reported by the “Palestinian Information Center.”
International reactions to the invasion of Rafah
International reactions continued after the Zionist occupation forces stormed the Rafah land crossing.
The Palestinian Authority called on Washington to intervene immediately to prevent the occupation authorities from invading Rafah and displacing citizens from it, considering the occupation of the Rafah crossing and the threat to displace citizens from shelter centers “war crimes.”
New war crime
For its part, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered, in a statement, that this dangerous escalation threatens the lives of more than a million Palestinians who depend primarily on this crossing.
South Africa said: We are horrified and surprised by Israel’s announcement of the necessity of evacuating Rafah immediately through excessive force.
While White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby indicated that the United States did not support the ground attack on Rafah from the beginning, and that its position is still valid.
