Battles continue in several areas in the Gaza Strip as Israeli forces clash with resistance factions amid a devastating humanitarian crisis. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a staggering death toll, with nearly 40,000 reported fatalities since the onset of hostilities on October 7, 2023. Recent reports indicate that the Israeli army has suffered significant casualties, with 4,272 declared losses, including 689 soldiers and officers killed. The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, have intensified their resistance operations, targeting Israeli forces and military vehicles in various regions, particularly in Rafah and the central Gaza Strip.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with medical sources reporting that airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of 20 individuals since Tuesday morning alone. The Ministry of Health in Gaza has stated that the ongoing Israeli aggression has led to 39,653 martyrs and over 91,000 injuries, highlighting the severe impact on civilians, including children and women. The situation is compounded by reports of famine and the inability of rescue teams to reach victims due to ongoing bombardments. The government media office in Gaza claims that the Israeli army has committed 3,471 massacres, exacerbating the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
