The occupation is using a new mechanism to destroy Gaza.. Explosions are causing earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.7 degrees.

The Hamas movement stated on Saturday that the Israeli occupation army is using explosive-laden drones carrying tons of explosives with the aim of exterminating civilians and destroying residential neighborhoods in Gaza City, as part of the genocide it has been committing in the sector for nearly two years.

It added in a statement that "the occupation army drives the explosive-laden vehicles deep into residential neighborhoods and then detonates them to create the widest area of destruction and killing," indicating that human rights organizations have documented the detonation of about 120 vehicles in one week, loaded with hundreds of tons of explosives.

The Hamas statement confirmed that "the world is witnessing horrific crimes committed by the war criminal government (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, including the attempt to destroy Gaza City and displace its residents under the weight of massacres and bombardment, and the use of various means of killing and extermination, foremost among them the explosive drones."

It also called on the international community, Arab and Islamic countries, and international institutions to "take immediate action to stop these crimes and take practical steps to deter the occupation and hold its leaders accountable for what they have committed against the Palestinian people and humanity."

For its part, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated in a statement that the occupation army detonates more than 17 explosive-laden vehicles daily in Gaza City, "each of which is equivalent to an earthquake of 3.7 degrees on the Richter scale."

The monitor, based in Geneva, clarified that "the Israeli occupation army detonated about 120 explosive-laden vehicles carrying approximately 840 tons of explosives among the residential homes in Gaza City during the past week."

The Israeli occupation continues its intensive bombardment of neighborhoods in Gaza City, especially the western areas crowded with displaced persons coming from the eastern neighborhoods after the extensive destruction carried out by the Israeli forces there, coinciding with the execution of demolition operations of residential facilities in the northwestern neighborhoods.

On the eighth of last month, the Israeli government approved a plan proposed by Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip entirely, starting with Gaza City, which is home to about one million Palestinians.

With American support, the occupying state has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,208 martyrs and 166,271 injured, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.
