‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza continues for 422nd day
‘Israeli’ military has maintained its aggression against Gaza for the 422nd consecutive day, enforcing a tight siege on the northern region.
The blockade has caused severe shortages of food, medicine, and heating supplies.
Early Sunday, ‘Israeli’ airstrikes targeted various areas in Gaza, resulting in dozens of casualties.
Proposed Temporary Ceasefire
Sources from the US, ‘Israel’, Palestine, and Egypt, citing outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and Hebrew media, revealed details of a proposed temporary truce between Hamas and Israeli Occupation. Key points include:
Duration: A 42-day truce divided into two phases: an initial 12 days followed by a 30-day extension.
Goals:
- Exchange of prisoners.
- Initiation of political negotiations to end the aggression.
- Gradual withdrawal of ‘Israeli’ forces from Gaza.
Governance: Gaza’s administration during the truce would shift to a “Community Support Committee” of 15-25 independent figures under the Palestinian Authority’s oversight.
Rafah Crossing: Rafah Border Crossing would reopen temporarily during the ceasefire.
Post-Truce Plans:
- Full transfer of Gaza’s administration to the Palestinian Authority.
- Reconstruction efforts.
- Establishing political and security stability in the region.
Casualty Figures
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported a death toll of 44,382 and over 105,142 injuries since October 7, 2023.
The ‘Israeli’ military confirmed 806 deaths among its ranks, with 379 killed since the start of the ground operation on October 27. Additionally, 5,435 soldiers have been wounded, including 794 in critical condition.
Background
Hamas launched “Operation Aqsa Typhoon” on October 7, 2023, in response to ‘Israeli’ violations in occupied Palestinian territories. ‘Israel’ countered with “Operation Iron Swords,” a large-scale offensive involving airstrikes that devastated infrastructure and left hundreds dead and thousands injured.
In support of Gaza, Hezbollah opened the “Support Front” against Israeli Occupation in October 2023, intensifying the regional conflict.
