The Israeli army has once again started fierce attacks in the Gaza Strip. 184 people have lost their lives due to 94 air strikes and firing in the last 72 hours. The Hamas-run Gaza media office strongly condemned the attacks targeting unarmed civilians and residential areas, calling them “dangerous and cruel.” According to the statement, many victims either remained buried under the debris or could not reach hospitals as damaged infrastructure hampered relief operations.

Palestinian civil defense officials have confirmed the seriousness of these attacks. According to him, this period has been “extraordinarily difficult” for local residents.
