Israel war on hospitals

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has condemned as “war crime”, the deliberate and continuous targeting of Gaza hospitals by Israeli regime forces. Hamas has, in s statement, called on the United Nations, and other international bodies to take immediate action on the Israeli aggression against medical centers in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis. The Palestinian resistance also warned that the Israeli attacks puts the lives of patients, medical staff and the refugees at hospitals, at risk. Earlier in the day, Gaza’s health ministry said the Israeli tanks fired directly at the upper floors of the specialized surgery building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The regime has also blockaded and targeted other hospitals in southern Gaza, claiming that Hamas fighters operate in and around these places. Hamas has denied the allegations.

US-Israeli onslaught on Gaza

Iranian foreign minister, Hossein amir abdollahian, has slammed the US for its unflinching support for Israel saying that the US must pull itself out of the trap the Israeli regime has set to drag Washington into a direct conflict. Amirabdollahian reiterated that the future of Palestine belongs only to Palestinians and no foreign country can intervene or decide it for them. The top Iranian diplomat said the Israeli regime claims the objective of its genocidal war is “the total destruction of Hamas” but knows well that such a goal is unachievable. He added the survival of Israel only relies on regional crisis and the spill-over of the conflict into other countries. Amirabdollahian also called on the Security Council to undertake its legal and charter-based responsibilities through adopting decisive resolutions on gaza.

Resistance anti-Israeli ops

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it will start a new phase of its anti-US and anti-Israeli operations after American forces attacked the positions of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units. The announcement came in a statement issued early Wednesday by Secretary General of the Sayyed al-Shuhada Brigades. It said the second phase of the Iraqi resistance’s operations includes imposing a siege on Israel’s maritime navigation in the Mediterranean Sea and knocking the regime’s ports out of service. The statement added that anti-Israeli operations will continue until the genocidal war on Gaza and its siege come to an end. Kata’ib Hezbollah also said it will continue to target "enemy bases" in support of Palestinians in Gaza. This, after American warplanes conducted strikes on the Iraqi resistance’s positions in Jurf al-Nasr, south of the capital Baghdad, as well as the Qa'im border crossing on Iraq’s border with Syria. The strikes left at least two Iraqi resistance fighters dead.
