The Gaza Holocaust: Occupation Crimes Continue, Resistance Forces Ashkelon to Evacuate
Gaza – Palestinian Information Center
The Zionist occupation forces continued their horrific massacres as their offensive in the Gaza Strip entered its fourteenth consecutive day, destroying homes and apartment buildings with their inhabitants inside. This genocidal war is being met with fierce resistance and continuous rocket fire, forcing settlers in Ashkelon and Sderot to flee.
In the latest developments, occupation warplanes bombed the home of journalist Rami Khreis in the Al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, killing his son and injuring him and his wife. They also bombed a home belonging to the Al-Shurbaji family south of Khan Younis, as well as a home belonging to the Abu Najja family in Rafah.
Our correspondent reported that occupation warplanes bombed at least six homes in Khan Younis at dawn today (belonging to the Al-Bashiti, Abu Najja, Omran, Sharab, Al-Farra, and Abu Shahla families), resulting in 21 martyrs and 79 injuries. Israeli warplanes targeted an apartment in the Palestine Tower in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in several deaths and injuries.
A number of Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israeli warplanes bombed the al-Kahlout building in the Beit Lahia project area, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Two Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone struck the Farwana building in the al-Katiba neighborhood of Khan Younis.
Israeli warplanes bombed the al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, completely destroying it.
Last night, Israeli warplanes destroyed two more residential towers in al-Zahra, south of Gaza City, amid threats to destroy 20 more towers, creating an unprecedented level of aggression in the area.
The Israeli military announced that it had bombed 100 targets in the Gaza Strip last night, while Palestinian sources confirmed that all the targets were civilian, including a church, homes, streets, and infrastructure, which the Israeli forces violated.
The continuous rocket fire succeeded in forcing the occupation to evacuate settlers in Ashkelon, just as it had previously done with settlers in Sderot and other Gaza settlements, thus reinforcing the principle of reciprocity declared by the resistance: displacement for displacement.
In Khan Younis, UNRWA erected dozens of tents on Thursday to shelter displaced people from various areas, in a scene reminiscent of the Nakba of 1948.
The first camp of its kind comprises approximately 60 tents set up by UNRWA, housing displaced people from all parts of the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA spokesperson in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, told Anadolu Agency that the new camp for displaced people in Khan Younis comes in light of the increasing number of displaced people and their overcrowding in schools that have been converted into shelters.
He explained that there are more than one million displaced Palestinians throughout the Gaza Strip, half of whom are in UNRWA schools.
Thousands sought refuge in tents due to the lack of alternative housing and the fear of their homes being bombed, especially with tens of thousands arriving in the city from Gaza and the north.
Last night, the occupation forces committed a horrific massacre by directly targeting displaced people inside the Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza City, resulting in a large number of martyrs and wounded.
Our correspondent reported that among the victims were many Christian citizens who had sought refuge in the church, believing it to be a safe haven.
On Thursday evening, the Government Media Office announced that 369 martyrs had been killed, 81 of them in southern Gaza, in the previous 24 hours.
The Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the aggression since October 7th had risen to 3,785 martyrs, including 1,524 children, 1,000 women, and 120 elderly people, in addition to 12,493 wounded, including 3,983 children and 3,300 women.
The Ministry of Health is facing difficulties in updating casualty lists due to the enormous number of martyrs and wounded, compounded by the disruption of communication and internet services.
According to the Government Media Office, the occupation has committed 484 massacres against Palestinian families since the start of its aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in 2,776 martyrs. Hundreds remain trapped under the rubble, more than 65% of whom are women and children.
The office confirmed that there are one million displaced people in various areas, and medical teams are facing a significant challenge in providing for their basic needs since the withdrawal of UNRWA.
It noted that 160 schools have been bombed, 19 of which are now out of service, and the occupation has destroyed 127,720 housing units, 9,500 of which are uninhabitable.
The office stated that 64 government buildings and dozens of service facilities and public buildings have been bombed. This statistic includes only what field survey teams have been able to reach.
Since Saturday (October 7), the occupation aircraft have been carrying out a bloody massacre through widespread and indiscriminate bombing operations against homes, streets and civilian facilities in the Gaza Strip as a form of revenge against Palestinian civilians.
