The occupation continues its aggression for the 44th day
The Israeli occupation aggression against the Gaza Strip entered the 44th day in a row, as it is still targeting civilians in places that should be safe, but today they have become the target of its brutal goals due to the complete siege, the lack of basic necessities of life, and the prevention of the entry of fuel, which has caused a humanitarian catastrophe. Especially with hospitals out of service, which resulted in an increase in sick martyrs.
Al-Aqsa flood
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas, launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, in response to the Israeli occupation’s violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.
On the other hand, the Israeli occupation launched a military operation against the Gaza Strip, which it called “Iron Swords,” and launched a series of violent raids on several areas in the Strip, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded, in addition to the destruction of large numbers of buildings, residential towers, institutions, and infrastructure.
The government media office in the Gaza Strip said that the number of martyrs exceeded 12,000, including 5,000 children and 3,300 women.
According to the Hebrew Broadcasting Corporation, the number of soldiers and settlers killed reached 1,538 and about 5,000 others were injured, while the occupation army announced the killing of 383 officers and soldiers since the start of the Al-Aqsa flood on October 7.
