Gaza Under Siege: Israeli Regime Continues Deadly Attacks Despite Ceasefire

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

The Israeli regime has intensified its violent attacks on the Gaza Strip, defying the ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States. Over the past 24 hours, five people have been killed and 17 bodies have been recovered, bringing the overall death toll to 68,858 with 170,664 wounded. The Gaza Health Ministry stated that a number of victims remain under the rubble, and ambulance and civil defense teams have been unable to reach them due to intense airstrikes and shelling.

The Israeli regime's two-year genocidal campaign has resulted in widespread destruction, with at least 226 Palestinians killed and 594 wounded since the ceasefire began on October 10. The bombardments have targeted residential areas, including Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip and Gaza City in the north. The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have detonated residential compounds and buildings, and have also fired smoke bombs over the towns of Abasan and Bani Suhaila in the south.

Humanitarian organizations have accused the Israeli regime of obstructing the entry of urgently needed aid into Gaza by withholding accreditation for NGO workers and introducing a new registration system that has left around $50 million worth of humanitarian supplies stranded outside the enclave. Oxfam representative Bushra Khalidi stated that the restrictions imposed by the Israeli regime are "fundamentally about control," and are deliberately squeezing out both international and Palestinian-led relief groups.
