Gaza genocide raging

Israel is pressing ahead with its genocidal war in the Gaza Strip. More than 20 people have been killed after an air attack hit a residential building in the city of Rafah. People and paramedics pulled out a toddler alive from the rubble. Israeli air attacks also hit other residential areas across the Palestinian territory. At least ten people were killed in the bombing of a house in Khan Yunis. Eight others lost their lives in an attack on the Maghazi refugee camp. Health officials in Gaza say Israeli strikes have killed 210 Palestinians on Thursday. This has raised the toll of Palestinians killed in the regime's onslaught that began on October 7th to 21,320. Meanwhile, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, UNRWA, has warned that 40 percent of Gaza's population is at risk of famine amid Israel’s curbs on entry of much-needed aid trucks to the territory.

Operation al-Aqsa Flood

The military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, says the Operation al-Aqsa Flood has set the Israeli occupying regime on the path toward extinction. The spokesman for Qassam Brigades says the resistance fighters have dealt a severe blow to the Zionist regime. In an audio message, Abu Obaida said Palestinian fighters have achieved a unique epic by inflicting heavy losses on Israel in more than 80 days of fighting. He said over 825 Israeli military vehicles have been destroyed during this period. Abu Obaida said Hamas top priority is to stop the regime’s genocide in Gaza. He also stressed that there will be no deals on the exchange of captives with Israel until its aggression comes to an end. 

'Deadliest year for children'

Israel’s atrocities in the West Bank continue in parallel with its onslaught in the Gaza Strip. The regime’s troops have shot dead two Palestinian men in the occupied territories in the past 24 hours. The first man was killed during an overnight raid in Ramallah. Fourteen others were injured in the attack. The second Palestinian was fatally shot near the city of Bethlehem over an alleged stabbing attack. Israeli forces and settlers have killed more than 300 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7th. Meanwhile, the United Nations Children's Fund described 2023 as the deadliest year on record for Palestinian kids in the West Bank. UNICEF said more than 120 Palestinian children have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of this year. It added that 83 of them lost their lives in the last three months.
