“Israeli” aggression continues for 234th consecutive day

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on Gaza for the 234th consecutive day.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOC) targeted overnight a tent camp of displaced Palestinians in the city of Rafah, resulting in the deaths of more than 35 and a dozen of wounded.

The IOF claimed that it targeted a senior Hamas official in what it said was a “precise airstrike”.

The Palestinian presidency said that the deliberate targeting by the IOF of the displaced people tent camp in Rafah constitutes a “massacre that surpasses all limits,” calling for urgent intervention to immediately stop these crimes targeting the Palestinian people.

Hamas stated that this heinous crime is further evidence of the genocide committed by the Israeli Occupation and its army against the Palestinians, while simultaneously claiming to take sufficient measures to protect civilians. This necessitates all countries, organizations, and entities worldwide to implement the rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and take urgent action to immediately stop the shedding of innocent civilian blood, including children, women, and the elderly.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 35,984 Palestinians killed and 80,643 injured since the start of the aggression on October 7th last year – per the latest numbers released yesterday by the Gaza Ministry of Health.
