In the early hours of today, in the month of holy Ramadan, Israel resumed its military operations in the Gaza Strip, breaking a 58-day ceasefire agreement. The Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of intense airstrikes targeting various areas across Gaza, including Gaza City, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun in the north, as well as areas in the central and southern parts of the Strip. These attacks resulted in numerous casualties, with several martyrs and injured individuals reported. The escalation has reignited tensions and raised concerns about the humanitarian impact on the already vulnerable population in Gaza.
Medical sources report that over 160 Palestinians, the majority of them are women and children, have been killed, with hundreds more injured, however death toll continues to rise. This is the largest attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began on January 19, yet Israel continued to violate the ceasefire daily since then.

Israel has decided to return to genocidal war on Gaza strip on Saturday, and has informed the Trump administration in this regards. In a Facebook post, early today’s morning the Prime Minister’s Office announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have instructed the IDF to act “forcefully” against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Severe siege has been imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire agreement, plunging the region into an escalating humanitarian crisis. The blockade has choked off access to medical supplies, essential materials, and ambulances, leaving hospitals overwhelmed and unable to adequately treat the wounded. Israeli airstrikes continue to rain down, claiming numerous lives and injuring countless others, with reports of casualties mounting by the hour.
Families are trapped beneath rubble, their cries for help echoing through devastated streets, while emergency responders struggle to reach them without fuel or functioning vehicles. Children, stripped of safety and basic necessities like food and clean water, bear the brunt of a catastrophe that has shuttered schools and razed homes. The people of Gaza, already enduring years of hardship, now face an unbearable toll, with the international community witnessing a tragedy that grows more desperate with each passing day.
