Israeli Forces Kill Three Palestinians Post-Release in Northern Gaza
In a tragic incident on Saturday evening, Israeli occupation forces shot and killed three Palestinian detainees shortly after their release in the Sudanese area of northern Gaza Strip. Medical sources confirmed that the bodies of the deceased were transported to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Eyewitnesses reported that the three men were targeted by Israeli forces as they were released, highlighting the ongoing tensions and violence in the region.
This incident comes amidst an unprecedented military campaign by the Israeli army, which began on October 5, 2023, targeting areas in northern Gaza under the pretext of preventing the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) from regaining strength. The ongoing operations have reportedly led to the deaths of approximately 1,800 Palestinians, including women, children, and the elderly, according to official data.
Humanitarian Crisis Escalates Amid Ongoing Conflict
The continuous bombardment and military operations have severely impacted Gaza's already strained health system, with government officials stating that it has effectively gone out of service. Civil Defense operations and the ambulances of the Palestinian Red Crescent have also been halted due to the violence. The three main hospitals in the region—Kamal Adwan, Indonesian, and Al-Awda—are struggling to function with minimal resources, often operating with only one or two doctors and depleting medical supplies.
Since the escalation of conflict on October 7, 2023, the humanitarian situation has deteriorated significantly, leading to over 146,000 casualties, with a majority being children and women. The number of missing individuals has surpassed 10,000, amidst widespread destruction and a worsening famine affecting the population.
