Israeli aggression on besieged Gaza — now in its 163rd day — has killed at least 31,645 Palestinians and wounded 73,6767 others as calls grow for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down.
International criticism has mounted on Israel due to the death toll of the war, the starvation crisis in Gaza, and allegations of blocking aid deliveries into the enclave. / Photo: AAThe UN children's agency said over 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza in Israel's offensive, adding many kids were suffering from severe malnutrition and did not"even have the energy to cry."
Expressing deep concern over the situation in Gaza, the Greek prime minister reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages. "It's not something we will do while keeping the population locked in place. In fact, we'll do the very opposite, we will enable them to leave."European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Gaza was facing famine and there had to be a rapid ceasefire agreement in the Israeli war on Gaza.
Egypt warned against an Israeli ground attack on Rafah city in southern Gaza and demanded international stakeholders and the UN Security Council to shoulder their responsibilities by calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Israeli fighter jets struck a house in the border town of Aitaroun, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.Another Israeli airstrike was reported in the town of Ayta ash-Shab.Jordan and Germany warned that an Israeli ground attack on Rafah city will worsen humanitarian conditions in southern Gaza.
The two leaders also warned that an Israeli ground attack on Rafah, where 1.4 million people have taken refuge from the ongoing Israeli war, “would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza."Israel has lost its war against Hamas in Gaza, a former Israeli military commander said. “This is the most serious scandal since the establishment of the army,” he said. “We have already lost the war with Hamas, and we are also losing our allies in the world at a dizzying rate.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli troops would pursue a planned ground offensive in southern Gaza's Rafah that has spurred fears of mass civilian casualties.
Most of the arrests took place in the cities of Hebron, Bethlehem, Qalqilya, Jenin Tulkarm, Ramallah, and occupied East Jerusalem, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a joint statement.The new arrests brought to 7,630 Palestinians detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, according to Palestinian figures.
CENTCOM forces"successfully engaged and destroyed one" drone while the other is presumed to have crashed into the Red Sea, the statement said, adding that there were no reports of damage or injuries from ships in the area.A suspected attack by Yemen's Houthis saw an explosive detonate near a ship in the Gulf of Aden, potentially marking their latest assault on shipping through the crucial waterway leading to the Red Sea.
The Egyptian Defense Ministry said the Egyptian Air Force"intensified their air aid delivery activities" from Al-Arish Airport to Gaza in coordination with the UAE Air Force.Gaza is “catastrophic” according to a Doctors Without Borders nurse working in the region.
