"Israel" continues its war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, now ongoing for the 417th day, with the Gaza Health Ministry announcing that in 24 hours, the Israeli military committed three massacres, killing 14 and injuring 108 others, with many victims still trapped under rubble or out of reach due to Israeli bombardment.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has killed 44,249 Palestinians and injured 104,746 others, the Ministry confirmed Monday in its daily report.
The Israeli genocide continues unabated
The northern Gaza Strip is facing an escalating humanitarian crisis, with conditions described as "catastrophic". In the Jabalia refugee camp, invading Israeli forces have destroyed entire residential blocks amid relentless artillery barrages targeting Beit Lahia and surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City, heavy artillery strikes on the Musallabah area have resulted in significant destruction and left multiple civilians injured.
In further detail, Northern Gaza is reeling from a surge in violence as Israeli attacks inflict mounting civilian injuries and casualties. Al-Awda Hospital in Tal al-Zaatar has reported receiving four injured individuals following Israeli aggression on Beit Lahia.
In Jabalia town, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly caused additional civilian injuries, further exacerbating the region's humanitarian crisis.
Meanwhile, a devastating Israeli strike near a bakery in northern Gaza City has resulted in multiple casualties, with both fatalities and injuries reported.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that one was martyred and another was injured as a result of an Israeli targeting of a group of Palestinians in the Saftawi neighborhood, northwest of Gaza City.
Martyrs and injuries were reported as a result of the occupation aircraft bombing a group of citizens on Baghdad Street in the al-Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Later, our correspondent confirmed that several were martyred and others were wounded as a result of the occupation aircraft bombing Al-Hurriya School, which shelters displaced people in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City
Civil Defense in Gaza: Operations come to a halt
On its part, the Civil Defense in Gaza has announced a complete cessation of operations, including firefighting, rescue, and ambulance services, due to the ongoing Israeli blockade on diesel fuel essential for powering emergency vehicles.
Officials have issued a grave warning, stating that the lack of fuel effectively sentences civilians to death as Israeli bombardments continue to ignite fires and destroy homes. Without functional emergency services, residents face extreme danger and limited means of survival amid escalating assaults on residential areas.
The Civil Defense is urgently appealing for immediate international and Arab humanitarian intervention to address the fuel crisis and safeguard Gaza’s defenseless population from further harm.
A year of Israeli massacres in Gaza: Families erased, generations shattered
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has released devastating statistics outlining the relentless toll of Israeli attacks over the past year. Entire families have been wiped out in unprecedented massacres.
The scale of destruction in Gaza has been catastrophic, with 7,160 massacres resulting in the extermination of 5,444 family members. In total, 1,410 families were completely wiped out, leaving no survivors, while 3,463 families were reduced to a single survivor, with 7,934 members killed.
Additionally, 2,287 families with multiple survivors lost a staggering 9,577 members. Israeli airstrikes disproportionately targeted families, with 5,879 families losing 2–4 members and 1,281 families losing more than 5 members.
Among the hardest hit, the top five families to be decimated include the al-Najjar family, with 520 members killed, followed by the al-Masri family, which lost 287 members, the Ashour family with 217 killed, the Hijazi family, which saw 199 members killed, and the Awad family, with 198 members lost.
The Ministry described the toll as not merely statistics but evidence of entire generations obliterated, leaving a profound humanitarian and psychological scar on Gaza’s society.
