The occupation's attacks are displacing more residents of Gaza City, and the aggression is escalating in Jabalia.

Tens of families continue to leave their neighborhoods in Gaza City and northern Gaza Strip towards the central and southern areas, due to the escalating Israeli attacks as part of what is called "Operation Gideon’s Chariots 2." Medical sources reported the martyrdom and injury of dozens of Palestinians in new massacres, while the number of martyrs has risen due to famine.

The Israeli occupation army has been carrying out concentrated bombing and destruction operations for about two weeks in the neighborhoods of Shuja'iyya, Zaitoun, and Sabra in the east and south of Gaza City, as well as in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza Strip. According to the Israeli army, the 401st Brigade has returned to combat in Jabalia, seeking to target Hamas's capabilities and destroy military infrastructure above and below ground.

Earlier, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported from a security source that the occupation of Gaza City will begin after completing the encirclement operation, which will last for about two months. This statement raises significant fears among the city's residents who are suffering from displacement and repeated assaults.

Sources in Gaza Strip hospitals reported the martyrdom of 11 Palestinians due to the fire of the occupation army in several areas of the Strip since dawn today, including 6 waiting for aid. Al-Awda Hospital announced that it received the bodies of 3 martyrs and 8 injured as a result of the targeting of the occupation forces at an aid distribution point in central Gaza Strip.

A source at the Baptist hospital reported the martyrdom of a Palestinian woman in an Israeli bombing of the Zaitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, while the ambulance and emergency service announced the martyrdom of one person and the injury of others waiting for aid due to the fire of the occupation army near an aid point north of Rafah City.

The city of Khan Younis in the southern Strip was subjected to Israeli airstrikes and gunfire from helicopters this morning, increasing tensions in the area. Medical sources had reported the martyrdom of 58 Palestinians, including 16 waiting for aid, in the Israeli massacres on Saturday.

The Israeli Prime Minister, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of committing war crimes, approved last Thursday a plan to occupy Gaza City that includes calling up tens of thousands of soldiers, despite the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) agreeing to the mediators' proposal for a ceasefire.

Many countries and human rights and humanitarian organizations condemned the Israeli army's operations, warning of a new bloody escalation and widespread displacement of the residents of Gaza City. The Government Media Office in Gaza Strip condemned in a statement the repeated plans and threats of the occupation army to invade the city.

At the same time, famine in Gaza Strip has led to more martyrs, as the Director of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Munir Al-Borsh, stated that 8 Palestinians have been martyred in the past 24 hours, including a child. Thus, the number of martyrs due to starvation since the beginning of the war has risen to 289, including 115 children.

Since October 2023, the occupying state - with American support - has been waging a genocidal war against the residents of Gaza Strip, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring international calls to stop the war and the orders of the International Court of Justice in this regard. The genocide has resulted in more than 62,000 martyrs and 157,000 injured.
