The Israeli aggression on Gaza continues intensifying, killing more than 40 people as "Israel" targets several areas across the blockaded Strip.
46 Palestinians were killed in Gaza since Sunday dawn, according to an Al Mayadeen correspondent, who also reported that two were martyred and several were injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent for displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis.
In addition, the Israeli occupation forces conducted an airstrike near Kaff al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis amid violent airstrikes targeting Central Khan Younis, while an airstrike targeted the northern sector of al-Bureij camp in Central Gaza.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza also reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted the ER department of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, engulfing it in flames.
On the other hand, Gaza's Civil Defense directorate confirmed the loss of contact with its team in the Barracks area west of Rafah, in the southern part of the Strip, while attempting to intervene to rescue the Red Crescent ambulance crew, which had been targeted by an Israeli attack.
The death toll from the Israeli occupation's ongoing war against Gaza has exceeded 50,000, with the Ministry of Health in Gaza reporting on Sunday that 50,021 were killed and 113,274 were injured since October 7, 2023.
Since Israeli attacks resumed on March 18, a total of 673 people have been killed and 1,233 wounded. In the past 24 hours alone, Gaza's hospitals received 41 bodies and 61 injured individuals, while an additional 233 fatalities were confirmed by the judicial committee handling missing persons and related cases.
'Israel' reneged on Gaza ceasefire, US complicit in genocide: Hamas
As the aggression on Gaza was renewed, Hamas issued a statement of condemnation, saying "Israel" has reneged on the ceasefire agreement, evading its obligations, and continues to commit massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza, amid a shameful international silence.
"The claims made by the [Israeli] occupation regarding preparations by the Resistance to launch an attack on its forces are baseless and are merely false pretexts to justify its return to war and escalate its bloody aggression," the statement read.
The Palestinian group accused "Israel" of "attempting to mislead public opinion and fabricate false justifications to cover up its premeditated decision to resume its genocidal campaign against defenseless civilians, disregarding any commitments it made."
"Hamas adhered to the agreement until the very last moment and was committed to its continuation," the statement stressed, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "seeking a way out of his internal crises, preferred to reignite the war at the cost of our people's blood."
In a separate statement, Hamas considered that the US administration's admission that it was previously informed about the resumed Israeli aggression "confirms its direct partnership in the genocide" against the Palestinian people.
