As Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” enters its 370th day, the occupation forces continue to carry out airstrikes and intensive artillery shelling on the Gaza Strip, causing horrific massacres against civilians.
A massacre in Deir al-Balah… 28 martyrs, including children and women
28 Palestinians, including children and women, were martyred, and 54 others were injured, some of them in critical condition, as a result of the occupation’s bombing of the Rufaida School, which was housing displaced persons west of the city of Deir al-Balah, according to the “Palestinian News Agency.”
A war crime with American cover
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the Rufaida School massacre, describing it as a war crime committed by the occupation army with American cover.
Hamas confirmed, in a press statement today, Thursday, that this brutal massacre, which was committed at a time when the fascist occupation army is closing in on the northern Gaza Strip and is committing abuse and killing there. This massacre is an extension of the crimes of the Zionist occupation against our Palestinian people, over a whole year of genocide, during which the terrorist occupation army carried out the most heinous operations of deliberately targeting defenseless civilians, in residential neighborhoods, homes, shelters and displacement centers, with the support of the American administration, a partner in this genocide.
The movement added: Our Palestinian people ask: Where is the international community and the United Nations, and all its institutions, headed by the UN Security Council?! And where are the Arab and Islamic countries from taking immediate measures to stop the unprecedented violations of international and humanitarian laws by the fascist occupation?!
It stressed that the continuation of the massacres in full view of the world, without moving a finger, represents suspicious behavior that portends the complete collapse of the international system with all its foundations, laws and values.
Continued siege of Jabalia camp for the fifth day
The occupation continues its siege of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip for the fifth consecutive day; which has caused a process of "genocide and ethnic cleansing" against the camp's residents. The siege has led to the destruction of homes, the killing of civilians and their forced displacement, and despite the intense pressure, citizens refuse to move to the southern Gaza Strip.
This comes in light of the occupation's attempts to put the health system in the northern Gaza Strip out of service, as it asked the "Kamal Adwan", "Indonesian" and "Al-Awda" hospitals to evacuate within 24 hours, which threatens the lives of thousands of patients.
"Kamal Adwan" Hospital appeals to stop the evacuation
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya, appealed to the international community to stop the occupation's decision to evacuate the hospital of patients and medical staff.
This came in a video clip recorded from the intensive care unit, where he confirmed that the humanitarian situation is constantly deteriorating due to the siege and aggression, according to what was reported by the "Anadolu" agency.
This appeal comes in light of the occupation's continued commission of crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Jabalia camp.
Al-Qassam Brigades ambushes an infantry company in Jabalia
Al-Qassam Brigades carried out a complex ambush targeting a company of 12 vehicles belonging to the occupation forces in Jabalia camp.
Al-Qassam fighters were able to engage the Zionist force from zero distance, which led to deaths and injuries among the occupation forces.
The Brigades said: Al-Qassam fighters trapped a mechanized infantry company belonging to the occupation army consisting of 12 military vehicles and a truck loaded with soldiers in a pre-prepared ambush area. Immediately upon the force's arrival at the site, a "Shawaz" bomb was detonated in the truck loaded with soldiers, a "Thunder" bomb was detonated in a "Hummer" jeep, and another jeep was targeted with a "Tandem" shell. After that, our fighters advanced towards the ambush area and finished off the remaining soldiers from zero distance with light weapons. They targeted a number of soldiers who fled the area towards a house with an anti-personnel bomb, killing and wounding them.
The battalions also announced that two tanks were targeted during the operation, in addition to targeting a Zionist reconnaissance patrol east of Khan Yunis with a drone.
