67th Day of Aggression: Gaza Remains in Genocide Crisis as Brutal Attacks Continue

Yesterday, two innocent lives were tragically lost and several others were injured due to Israeli artillery shelling on Khan Yunis. Medical sources reported the arrival of 20 martyrs at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khanyons, including 12 children. This came as a result of Israeli bombardment on several houses in Rafah early this morning, with one particularly devastating attack resulting in the deaths of 12 individuals, including six children, as their house was destroyed in the AL-Zahoor neighborhood.

The casualty toll continues to rise, with the Nasser Medical Complex also reporting 57 injuries, including 10 children and 10 women. In yet another targeted strike, a martyr named Rose lost their life while six citizens were injured when the occupation forces targeted a house belonging to the Wahba family near the College of Science and Technology in the southern part of Khanyons.

The aggression shows no mercy, evidenced by the occupation warplanes carrying out several raids on Khan Yunis alongside heavy and continuous artillery shelling. At dawn today, a house belonging to Al-shaaer family in  south of Khan Yunis was bombed by the occupation air force. Flare bombs were also fired into the sky of Gaza as various areas within the Strip were relentlessly shelled.

The occupation’s indiscriminate attacks have caused further collateral damage, with a house belonging to the Sabah family in Rafah being targeted. Multiple citizens were injured in this assault. In Jabalia al-Balad, north of Gaza, the occupation artillery also shelled scattered areas, adding to the ongoing destruction.

An infant lost his life as yet another house in Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, was bombed by Israeli planes. The dire situation is exacerbated by a lack of essential medical resources, with the director general of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir al-Barsh, reporting that three children recently lost their lives due to a shortage of oxygen at Kamal Adwan hospital. Furthermore, 12 children remain in intensive care, along with six newborns who were born prematurely.

Since the beginning of October, the toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to an alarming 18,205 martyrs and 49,645 injuries, as confirmed by the Ministry of Health. These horrifying numbers highlight the true extent of the occupation forces’ brutal acts, which have included committing 19 massacres in residential neighborhoods and shelters within the past hours alone. The occupation’s false claims of safe zones only add to the devastating reality faced by the people of Gaza.
