US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

The Israeli military presses ahead with its strikes on Gaza, leaving more civilians dead and injured in its latest round of attacks. The Israeli artillery shelling targeted the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least nine and injuring over a dozen more. In another attack, at least seven people were killed after Israeli warplanes bombed a residential building in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza. Earlier, Israeli jets struck al-Wafa hospital, east of Gaza City, leaving several Palestinians dead and injured. A child also died due to a severe cold, becoming the fifth child who has died due to harsh winter conditions in the past week. The regime has ordered the evacuation of several areas and neighborhoods northwest of Gaza City in preparation for further bombardment. More than 45-thousand five-hundred Palestinians have been killed so far since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October last year.

Gaza ceasefire efforts

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has blamed the Israeli regime for the failure of Gaza ceasefire negotiations, saying the regime is complicating efforts to establish peace. Senior Hamas member, Osama Hamdan, said the regime is stalling talks and refuses to withdraw completely from Gaza and stop its aggression. Hamdan added, the resistance movement has shown the utmost flexibility regarding the captives held in Gaza, provided that the regime stops its aggression and fully withdraws its forces from the blockaded territory. The remarks come days after Hamas said the Israeli regime had set new conditions for its withdrawal from Gaza, adding that the delays have hindered the potential agreement that was within reach.

Gaza resistance retaliation

Gaza-based Palestinian resistance groups continue their anti-Israel operations, launching more rockets on Israeli targets in the occupied territories. The Israeli Army Radio admitted that 40 Israeli soldiers have been killed in northern Gaza since the beginning of the regime's military offensive in Jabalia on October 5. Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance confirms that the occupation forces' losses are much higher than acknowledged. Also, earlier, the regime admitted that five missiles were fired from Gaza toward the Sderot settlement. Sirens were sounded in areas near the besieged strip as a result. On the ground, Hamas’ armed wing, Qassam Brigades, announced blowing up a fortified building containing Israeli soldiers in the east of the Jabalia camp. The armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement also targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with a explosive device in the east of Jabalia. The group also struck a rescue force of the regime's army with a Yasin-105 rocket.
