GAZA: Israeli forces have significantly escalated their aerial and ground offensive on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of more than 140 innocent Palestinian civilians, especially children and women within the last 24 hours, according to health officials inside the besieged enclave. The surge in violence has seen heavy bombardment across multiple areas, with Israeli strikes hitting not only residential neighborhoods but also critical infrastructure, worsening an already dire humanitarian situation.
In a disturbing development, CCTV footage has surfaced showing bunker-buster bombs detonating near the European Hospital in Gaza, raising urgent concerns about potential breaches of international humanitarian law. The targeting of medical facilities has intensified fears about civilian safety and the protection of non-combatants in the conflict zone.
Meanwhile, reports from the southern city of Rafah indicate that Hamas’s military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has launched a counteroffensive. The group allegedly inflicted casualties on Israeli soldiers, although exact figures remain unclear amid the chaos.
The ongoing violence has prompted the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session in New York to address the mounting humanitarian crisis. Discussions centered on the tightening restrictions on aid deliveries to Gaza, which international agencies warn are pushing the enclave toward catastrophic shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.
A joint humanitarian proposal tabled by the United States and Israel aimed at facilitating aid access was rejected by Russia, China, and the United Kingdom. These countries cited concerns over the proposal’s neutrality and its potential impact on civilian access, underscoring the deep geopolitical divisions surrounding the crisis.
As the siege tightens and the death toll rises, the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, leaving millions of civilians caught in a deadly conflict with little relief in sight. The international community remains sharply divided, with little consensus on how to end the violence or alleviate the suffering on the ground.
