Israel continues to escalate its attacks across the Gaza Strip
Israeli forces have just bombed a house in Khan Younis. Injuries have been reported, and ambulances are heading to that area. But let me remind you that it’s very hard for ambulances to reach that house because of the destroyed roads and all the rubble on the streets.
An Israeli quadcopter has also targeted a Palestinian in Nuseirat. Overnight, Israeli forces bombed a house in Gaza City’s Shujayea where two Palestinians were killed. There have been evacuation orders for Shujayea and Khan Younis yesterday.
There has been ongoing artillery shelling in different areas across the Gaza Strip, in the north, in the central area, and also in the South, in Rafah and Khan Younis. Palestinians are still trapped under the rubble, and most of those injured and killed are women and children.
It’s not only the ongoing air strikes that are making the situation so dire across the Gaza Strip. It’s also the mass displacement and the mass starvation. Not a single truck carrying aid, food, cooking gas, or fuel has entered the Strip for almost six weeks.
The Israeli military is shooting anyone who moves in Shujayea
The situation in Gaza City’s Shujayea has become very intense and very dangerous, as the Israeli military has advanced after forced evacuation orders were issued yesterday. Palestinians in that area, especially those who did not evacuate, are now trapped.
The Israeli tanks are surrounding the area, and they have been stationed in a very strategic point that overlooks the entire neighborhood. Palestinians in that area are saying that whoever is moving or tries to move from one place to another is being shot by Israeli soldiers.
Israeli forces have also been targeting different areas in Khan Younis. The last one was an air strike on a group of people, where a Palestinian was killed.
Israeli forces have also announced that they have completed the Morag Corridor, which they have been working on since they started their invasion in Rafah. According to Israeli officials, this is another Philadelphi Corridor, but this one splits Khan Younis and Rafah.
It’s important to know that most agricultural lands are in Rafah, specifically near the Morag Corridor.
Israel takes rocket fire from Gaza
The Israeli military says on X that it detected the launch of three rockets from the Gaza Strip. It said that its air force intercepted the rockets, and that they caused no casualties.
Despite nearly a year and a half of Israeli assault by ground and air, Hamas retains some of its offensive rocket capabilities.
Hamas claims rocket attack on Israel
On Telegram, the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, has claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement. It said it targeted the “Nir Yitzhak” settlement with the “Rajum” short-range 114mm rocket system.
