Operation "Al-Aqsa Flood" entered its 335th day, while the Zionist occupation forces continue to commit a war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, through launching dozens of airstrikes, artillery shelling, and bloody massacres against civilians.
Preventing vaccinating children in Gaza
The "Palestinian News Agency" reported that the "Israeli" occupation forces refused today, Thursday, to coordinate the entry of medical teams affiliated with the emergency campaign for vaccination against polio to areas east of Salah al-Din Street, south of the Gaza Strip.
The agency said: The campaign was scheduled to launch today to Khan Yunis Governorate and areas in the southern Gaza Strip, where a large percentage of the targeted group of children are located, but the occupation forces refused to coordinate the entry of the campaign teams to areas in the southern Gaza Strip.
Occupation continues aggression on West Bank
The "Israeli" occupation forces continued their aggression on the northern West Bank, especially the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas, for the ninth day.
Since August 28, the occupation forces have launched a large-scale aggression on the West Bank, especially its north. The aggression has so far resulted in the martyrdom of 40 citizens, including 21 from Jenin, 8 from Tulkarm, 8 from Tubas, and 3 from Hebron. This brings the death toll in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since October 7, 2023 to 692, according to the Palestinian News Agency.
“Hamas”: We do not need new proposals
The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” confirmed that it does not need new proposals, and what is required now is to pressure Netanyahu and his government and oblige them to what has been agreed upon.
The movement warned in a statement today, Thursday, against falling into Netanyahu’s trap and tricks, who uses negotiations to prolong the aggression against our people.
They said: Netanyahu’s decision not to withdraw from the Salah al-Din (Philadelphi) axis aims to thwart reaching an agreement.
Escalating in the West Bank
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed that the continuation of the terrorist occupation army's military operation in the West Bank, especially in Jenin and Tulkarm, constitutes war crimes.
The movement added that the re-storming of the Far'a camp, south of the city of Tubas, today, and the bombing carried out by drones, which resulted in the martyrdom of five citizens, in addition to the martyrdom of a child by the bullets of the occupation snipers in the camp; are crimes against humanity. They come within the campaign of extermination launched by the government of the Zionist extremists against our Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, with the aim of displacing them from their land and liquidating their cause.
The movement stressed in a press statement today, Thursday, that these ongoing heinous crimes of killing, terrorizing, and vandalizing property and facilities will not succeed in breaking the will of our people in the occupied West Bank, or terrorizing and deterring our valiant resistance from playing its role in defending our people and our cause.
Fidan: Netanyahu is the main person responsible for the genocide in Gaza
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the main person responsible for the genocide committed against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to Anadolu Agency.
Fidan added that “the brutality in Gaza is still ongoing, the tension has spread to the West Bank, and the provocations targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque have further exacerbated the situation.”
He said: “The main person responsible for the genocide committed in Gaza is Netanyahu himself.”
American media: Washington is considering a request to conclude an agreement with Hamas
The American NBC network quoted informed sources as saying that the administration of President Joe Biden is considering a request by the families of “Israeli” prisoners who hold American citizenship in Gaza to conclude an agreement with the Hamas movement that does not include the occupying state, according to Quds Press Agency.
The sources added that Biden administration officials told the families of the American detainees that they would explore all options, but stressed that an agreement with Hamas that included Israel remained the best approach.
The families asked, during a meeting with the US national security adviser last Sunday, to present options for reaching an agreement that does not include Israel.
