The Israeli aggressive war on the besieged Gaza Strip entered its 285th day with the continued commitment of the Zionist occupation forces to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip, through dozens of airstrikes, artillery shelling, and bloody massacres against civilians.
The following are the highlights of the developments:
The Israeli occupation continues its ground, air, and sea aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 284th consecutive day, committing a new massacre in front of the Al-Qahira School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in 11 martyrs and 15 wounded so far.
In addition, 5 citizens were martyred and a number of others were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation shelling the Nusseirat camp in central Gaza and the city of Rafah.
Al-Jazeera correspondent reported the martyrdom of 5 people and the injury of others as a result of an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the town of Abasan east of Khan Yunis.
In a related context, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) stated that the occupation targeted at least 8 schools during the past ten days, six of which belong to the agency.
4 massacres in 24 hours
The Ministry of Health announced that the occupation committed 4 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 81 martyrs and 198 injuries reaching hospitals in the past 24 hours.
The ministry stated that some victims are still under the rubble and on the roads where paramedics and civil defense teams cannot reach them.
The death toll of the aggression has risen to 38,794 martyrs and 89,364 injuries since October 7th last year.
Highlights of Resistance Operations
The Palestinian resistance continues to confront the Zionist forces that have infiltrated several axes in Gaza, with the Al-Qassam Brigades announcing the targeting of an Israeli "Merkava" tank with a "Yasin 105" shell near the Al-Mashrou' intersection east of Rafah city in the south of the Strip.
The Al-Qassam Brigades also released footage of a complex ambush carried out by its fighters against the occupation forces near Al-Amin Muhammad roundabout in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood south of Gaza City.
In the same context, the Al-Qassam Brigades stated that its fighters managed to carry out a shooting operation targeting a vehicle of Zionist settlers near the village of Ramim east of Tulkarem yesterday, injuring 3 of them to varying degrees, as a retaliation for the martyrs' blood and in response to the Zionist massacres in the Gaza Strip and the crimes of the occupation in the occupied West Bank.
The Al-Quds Brigades also showcased footage of its fighters sniping one of the enemy soldiers during the Israeli incursion into the Shuja'iya neighborhood east of Gaza City.
Gallant: Netanyahu Increases Difficulties
The "Yedioth Ahronoth" newspaper quoted Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as saying: The conditions for reaching an agreement with Hamas are ripe, but Netanyahu is increasing the difficulties.
Gallant added: If a prisoner exchange deal is not reached within two weeks, then it means the fate of the abductees will be decided.
He pointed out that Netanyahu is increasing the difficulty of reaching an agreement so as not to lose coalition members Ben Gvir and Smotrich.
"Hamas" Rejects a Report by Human Rights Watch Adopting the Occupation's Narrative
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirmed its rejection of the lies and biased content included in the report by "Human Rights Watch" towards the occupation, criticizing the lack of professionalism and credibility, and demanded its withdrawal and apology.
The movement explained in a press statement, published on its website today, Wednesday, that the report by "Human Rights Watch" adopted the entire "Israeli" narrative, deviating from scientific research methodology and neutral legal position, becoming more like an "Israeli" propaganda document.
The movement pointed out that the report started with a dramatic and affecting style about an "Israeli" person who was injured in the events of the seventh of October, and ended with a discussion about a woman who was mentally affected by the events, without addressing what our people in Gaza have suffered from in terms of killings, destruction, starvation, and unimaginable suffering, perpetuating the idea of racist discrimination between humans.
