Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed on Friday that Israeli occupation forces killed 59 Palestinians since dawn, including 42 in Gaza City and the northern areas of the Strip.
With this latest massacre, the toll of the ongoing Israeli genocide has reached 64,756 martyrs and 164,059 wounded since October 7, 2023. Since the war resumed on March 18, 2025, at least 12,206 Palestinians have been martyred and 52,018 injured.
Targeting families and homes
Earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, issued a statement denouncing "the horrific crime that targeted the home of the Sultan family north of Gaza City," describing it as "state terrorism and blatant war crimes."
Hamas urged the United Nations, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to assume their legal and moral responsibilities in halting Israeli atrocities.

Martyrs of livelihood
Palestinians in search of food aid continue to be targeted. Medical sources report 2,479 martyrs among aid-seekers and over 18,091 injured. In the past 24 hours alone, hospitals documented 14 martyrs and 143 wounded.
Martyrs of starvation
The death toll from hunger and malnutrition has reached 413, including 143 children. Two more deaths were recorded yesterday as famine, formally confirmed by UN agencies in August, continues to ravage Gaza under "Israel's" blockade.

Reverse displacement defies forced expulsion
Despite ongoing attempts at mass expulsion, the Government Media Office announced that over one million Palestinians refuse to leave Gaza City and the north. Instead, a wave of "reverse displacement" has taken shape, with more than 20,000 people returning north yesterday alone, defying Israeli efforts to empty the area.
Global outrage grows
The genocide, now entering its 23rd month, continues to produce dozens of martyrs and hundreds of injuries daily. On September 12, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted the New York Declaration (142–10–12), demanding immediate cessation of "Israel's" war and urging "time-bound, concrete steps" toward a so-called two-state solution, alongside proposals for an international stabilization mission.

While international resolutions multiply, the reality in Gaza remains dire: widespread famine, relentless bombardment, and what rights groups have branded an unprecedented humanitarian collapse. Observers note that the UN votes reflect intensifying global condemnation, yet "Israel's" assault continues unabated, raising questions about the effectiveness of international mechanisms in restraining a campaign widely recognized as an unfolding genocide.
