Gaza: Zionist offensive

The Gaza Strip of Palestine, nearly 2 million Palestinians the majority under the age of 18 years old, has been subjected to unprecedented use of force against the civilian population of Gaza.

The Zionist government has launched the military operation claiming that it aims at weakening Hamas military capacities in Gaza and attempt to put an end to firing rockets toward Sothern Occupied Territories. However, the images and footages are being leaked from social media activities from Gaza have been mostly about civilian women and babies.

The military operation commenced by intense air raids on Gaza has targeted at least 500 targets in large part of the Gaza Strip, mostly civilian properties, government buildings and large agriculture areas.

According to medical sources in Gaza, the death toll increases to 49 people among whom 20 are women and children. 450 persons including young children are also reportedly injured in Gaza.

The Gaza health ministry has released the names and ages of 41 Palestinians killed so far in the besieged strip since the Zionist entity began its relentless assault early Tuesday.

Among those killed, 13 were aged 16 or younger. The youngest victim, 18-month-old Mohammed Malakiyeh, was killed along with his 27-year-old mother. The oldest victim, 80-year-old Naifeh Farjallah, was killed in an air strike on the town of Moghraqa, southwest of Gaza City.

Gaza: Zionist offensive

The single deadliest strike killed eight people Tuesday in southern Gaza when the Zionist killing machine bombed the Hamad family home.

Pal-Telegraph reported that since the commencement of this brutality, whole family members are murdered. Zionist occupation army dropped more than 400 tons of explosives on the Gaza enclave, mad use of forces against a nation of refugee, women and children.

The major Gaza-EU Hospital located in south of Gaza got targeted leaving large damages in the hospital facilities. Targeting agriculture lands nearby the hospital left tens of injuries and patients in panic.

The streets of Gaza since the beginning of airstrikes are nearly empty and all shops are closed. The civilian population is very concerned at the possibility of even greater cruelty of the Zionist occupation forces in the coming hours and days, particularly a ground invasion. Means of survival are limited in Gaza where border crossings are still closed!

The Zionist occupation forces are perpetrating a horrific war crime of unjustified collective punishment against innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza by launching hundreds of airstrikes of missiles by helicopter gunships, drones and warplanes (F16 fighter jets) along with abusing human rights in the West Bank.
