The Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip has continued for the 173rd consecutive day, claiming more martyrs and displaying most heinous forms of criminality against innocent civilians.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance groups have continued to confront the Zionist aggression, inflicting more losses upon the enemy forces.
In this context, heavy artillery bombardment and air raids targeted Khan Younis and Rafah.
In northern Gaza, 18 civilians were killed while attempting to collect the aids dropped aerially in a wrong way.
The authorities in Gaza said late Tuesday that a total of 12 people had drowned while trying to retrieve airdropped aid that had fallen into the Mediterranean, calling for an end to the airdrops — a last resort to get urgently needed food and other supplies into the enclave — and an increase in deliveries by land.
People waded into the water from a beach in northern Gaza on Monday afternoon to get the aid packages, according to Ahmed Abu Qamar, a Gaza-based researcher for EuroMed Rights, a human rights group, who said he had spoken to witnesses.
He also said that around a dozen people had drowned, saying that at least one had become entangled in a parachute.
Media reports indicated that the journalist Ola Abdul Meneam was killed along with her husband and children in an Israeli air raid on Rafah.
The Israeli war jets raided also Al-Shati camp in western Gaza.
The Israeli occupation forces also persecuted the Gazan prisoners they held for several days.
Thus, the aggression toll has reached 32414 martyrs and 74787 injuries.
The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on Al-Shifa Hospital for the tenth day and Al-Amal as well as Naser two hospitals for the fourth day in the context of violating the privacy of the medical centers.
Locals also reported loud explosions in Gaza European hospital in Khan Younis.
UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Palestine Francesca Albanese said there are “reasonable grounds” to believe that ‘Israel’ is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
