Israeli occupation forces have intensified their campaign of destruction across Gaza City, carrying out massive demolitions and bombardments that have left entire neighborhoods in ruins and civilians trapped under siege.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip, occupation troops detonated three armored vehicles loaded with tonnes of explosives to destroy homes in the Al-Maghribi area of the Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City. The explosions leveled several residential blocks and displaced dozens of families.

The correspondent added that Israeli forces conducted large-scale demolition operations in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, while surrounding several neighborhoods where residents remain trapped, a situation humanitarian groups warn could turn catastrophic.

Mass bombardments across Gaza City

Israeli warplanes and artillery simultaneously carried out indiscriminate strikes across multiple areas of Gaza City, including Al-Sabra, Al-Zaytoun, Tel Al-Hawa, and Al-Tuffah. Airstrikes also targeted residential buildings in the Al-Nasr area west of the city, leaving numerous casualties and widespread destruction.

Occupation forces launched limited incursions into several districts, including Sheikh Radwan, and struck an apartment on Al-Shuhada Street in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, injuring several Palestinians.

Pursuing displaced civilians

Even as residents attempt to return to their homes amid the destruction, Israeli forces have been targeting displaced Palestinians along their return routes from the south toward Gaza City. Heavy artillery and machine-gun fire were also reported in central and northern Khan Younis, further terrorizing already displaced families.

In the south, at least seven Palestinians were wounded by live fire near the so-called "aid distribution centers" northwest of Rafah, as Israeli troops opened fire on civilians waiting for humanitarian assistance.

Mounting humanitarian toll

The Government Media Office in Gaza announced on Monday that the total number of martyrs and missing persons since the start of the Israeli genocide on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 76,600. It said that 9,500 people remain missing, many believed to be buried beneath the rubble of bombed homes.

The office added that the scale of destruction across Gaza has reached 90%, describing the ongoing campaign as an effort to annihilate the Strip's population and infrastructure.

The UN Human Rights Office recently affirmed that Israeli attacks have targeted residential buildings, including multi-story structures, in defiance of international humanitarian law. Reports point to forced evacuation, destruction of shelter infrastructure, and use of "controlled demolitions" of neighborhoods.

A UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded that "Israel's" warfare methods in Gaza "are consistent with the characteristics of genocide," urging all states to uphold their legal duties to halt the killing and hold perpetrators accountable.
