On Thursday, at least 44 Palestinians, including children and elders from the Shihab and Abu Hemdan families, fell victim to Israeli attacks in the city of Jabalia, Gaza Strip, according to a medical source.
The aftermath of the Israeli assaults saw medics transferring the bodies of the 44 Palestinians to morgues, highlighting the escalating toll on civilians in the midst of the sustained and forceful military campaign by Israeli forces against the Gaza Strip. This military response was triggered by a prior military offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas within Israeli territories.
The conflict unfolded with Hamas initiating Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack involving rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel via land, sea, and air. Hamas cited the attack as retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem and the escalating violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
In response, the Israeli military launched Operation Swords of Iron, specifically targeting Hamas within the Gaza Strip. The repercussions extended to Israel cutting off water and electricity supplies to Gaza, exacerbating the already dire living conditions in an area grappling with a crippling siege since 2007.
Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz declared on Thursday that essential services, including electricity, water, and fuel, would not be reinstated to Gaza until all hostages were freed. The toll of the conflict has reached over 2,700 casualties since the weekend, with more than 1,400 Palestinians and 1,300 Israelis among the victims.
As heavy bombardment and blockade persist, officials in the Palestinian enclave have issued warnings about an impending humanitarian catastrophe and the imminent collapse of the health system, intensifying international concerns over the deepening crisis.
