Israeli airstrikes have killed over 50 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn on Thursday, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Strip, amid Israeli ambitions of taking over Gaza, occupying it.
According to the daily statistical report from the Health Ministry of Gaza, hospitals have received 107 fatalities, including three bodies recovered from rubble, and 247 injured people in the past 24 hours.

According to Health Ministry reports, the total casualties from "Israel’s" war on Gaza have reached 53,762 killed and 122,197 wounded since October 7, 2023, with at least 3,613 people killed and 10,156 injured since the offensive resumed on March 18 of this year.
Earlier today, Gaza's Health Ministry reported that 16,503 children have been killed in the Israeli offensive since it began over a year and a half ago.

This comes as "Israel" continues to enforce a deadly blockade on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, only allowing very few aid trucks to cross into the Strip, as Gazans face a deadly threat of famine.
Gaza relief manipulated for warfare: UN
"Israel’s" ongoing genocidal campaign and humanitarian blockade in Gaza constitute a deliberate, systematic assault on civilians that violates international law, according to a Thursday opinion piece by UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Michel Fakhri published in The Guardian.
UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Michel Fakhri charged Israeli authorities with weaponizing starvation as systematic warfare, documenting how acute child malnutrition rates have surged alongside wheat flour prices skyrocketing by 3,000%.
a deliberate strangulation of basic survival mechanisms that has rendered Gaza’s conditions, in his words, not merely inhumane but architecturally designed to forcibly displace and psychologically break an entire population.
"Israel" has plunged Gaza into famine conditions since imposing its March 2 aid blockade, drawing global condemnation from human rights organizations for weaponizing humanitarian assistance.
Netanyahu links Gaza ceasefire to Trump plan
During a rare Wednesday press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced a new public demand for ending the war in Gaza: tying any cessation of the genocide to the implementation of former US President Donald Trump's controversial Gaza relocation plan.
Facing an active ICC arrest warrant, Netanyahu characterized the plan as both brilliant and revolutionary while arguing it could completely reshape the Middle East's political reality.
While expressing conditional openness to ending the war, Netanyahu stipulated non-negotiable demands including the release of all captives, Hamas’s complete disarmament, the expulsion of its leadership, and the execution of the illegal Trump relocation plan, which would see Gazans forcibly expelled to another country.
