Palestinians count their martyrs who were bombed by Israel in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza (Anatolia)

On the 170th day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the occupation is still targeting hospitals, targeting all medical teams and civilians it encounters on its way.

According to government media in the Gaza Strip, the occupation executed 5 doctors and nurses inside the complex, and 350 civilians were killed inside and around the complex.

At the field level, the occupation forces announced the start of a new military operation west of Khan Yunis, while the resistance said that it had inflicted losses on soldiers and vehicles.

Massacres

The Israeli occupation committed 8 massacres in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, leaving 84 martyrs and 106 injured.

The number of martyrs of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip rose to 32,226, and the wounded to 74,518 since last October 7.

Arrests in the West Bank

Last night and today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 16 Palestinians from the West Bank, including a child and former prisoners, while confrontations broke out between the Palestinians and the Israeli forces in various areas of the West Bank.

The Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Prisoners' Club explained in a joint statement that the arrest operations were distributed across the governorates of Hebron, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Tulkarm, and Jerusalem, and were accompanied by widespread acts of abuse, severe beatings, and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of sabotage and destruction of citizens' homes.

The statement indicated that the total number of arrests since October 7 has risen to more than 7,755 detainees, and includes those who were arrested from homes and through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.

 Banning UNRWA convoys

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that Israel informed them that it would no longer agree to send food convoys to the northern Gaza Strip.

“This is outrageous and indicates the deliberate obstruction of life-saving aid in the midst of a man-made famine,” he added in a post on X. “These restrictions must be lifted.”

Commenting on the US Congress’ approval of the decision to extend the freeze on UNRWA’s funding, Lazzarini warned that the organization’s funding deficit would threaten access to food, shelter, basic health services, and education.

He said, "This decision will have negative consequences for the Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the region."

Hezbollah is bombing

On the northern front, Lebanese Hezbollah announced that it targeted the Jal al-Alam site with artillery shells and caused direct hits.

He also said that he targeted an Israeli force inside the Al-Marj site in southern Lebanon, stressing that his members were "killed and wounded."

Israeli media reported that about 50 missiles were launched from Lebanon towards the Golan Heights, noting that the air defenses in the Golan were activated after the missile salvo was launched from Lebanon.

Guterres sounds the alarm

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday urged Israel to remove the remaining obstacles to the entry of relief materials to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, noting the need to increase crossings and access points for aid.

Guterres explained during a press conference in Cairo with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry that the land route is the most effective and efficient in transporting heavy goods, stressing that the entry of aid requires an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons.

Guterres warned of the global repercussions of the war in Gaza, and said that there is a humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip, and the daily assault on the dignity of the Palestinians creates a credibility crisis for the international community.

The European Union condemns

The European Union condemned on Sunday the Israeli occupation authorities’ confiscation of 8,000 dunums of land in the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank.

The Federation explained - in a statement - its “strongly” condemnation of the announcement by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to confiscate this area of ​​land and consider it Israeli land.

This is considered the largest confiscation since the signing of the Oslo Accords between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel in 1994, according to the same statement.

Last Friday, Israel announced the confiscation of 8,000 dunams in the Jordan Valley, to establish hundreds of settlement units, and the Palestinian presidency denounced this decision, which coincided with the visit of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to Israel.

Harris threatens

Kamala Harris, US Vice President, said that she does not rule out that there will be consequences for Israel if it continues to carry out its military storming of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Harris added in an interview with the American network "ABC News" broadcast on Sunday, "We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a grave mistake."

The US Vice President explained that they continue to consider the humanitarian situation in Gaza as one of their priorities.

Macron warns

Agence France-Presse reported that French President Emmanuel Macron warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “any forced transfer of residents from Rafah would constitute a war crime,” noting that Macron “strongly condemned, in a call with Netanyahu, the recent Israeli announcements regarding settlements.”

Concessions and disagreements

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying that Tel Aviv is ready to make major concessions in order to conclude a deal to return the kidnapped people.

It also quoted sources as saying that there were disagreements within the Israeli staff regarding whether the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) was interested in reaching an agreement.

Criticism of Netanyahu

Former Israeli Army Minister Moshe Ya'alon said that the storming of the city of Rafah is Netanyahu's propaganda campaign, adding that "he will respond by saying that he was restrained by the Americans, and he will accuse them of not enabling him to achieve a decisive victory."

Ya'alon added to Israeli Channel 12 that Netanyahu wants to prolong the war, "because the life of his term as prime minister is the duration of the war's continuation, and he does not want it to end," and added that he is "ready to sacrifice the kidnapped (prisoners)."

European demonstrations

Demonstrations were renewed in a number of European cities and capitals in solidarity with the Palestinians and to denounce the Israeli war on Gaza and to demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to the massacres committed in the Strip.

Cities in the Czech Republic, France, Sweden and Denmark witnessed demonstrations demanding an end to the war on Gaza and allowing humanitarian aid to enter to relieve the Palestinians.

Criticism of Tel Aviv's policy

Israeli officials and diplomats acknowledged that Israel's public diplomacy after its war on the Gaza Strip was "worse than ever," placing the blame primarily on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Government officials admitted, according to what was reported by Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper - without mentioning their names - that the manifestations of support that Israel received on October 7, that is, after the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, had completely disappeared, and instead the space was given to focus on the Palestinian side.

According to them, “the situation is getting worse, and the support that the world showed for Israel in the wake of the Hamas attack on October 7 has already been forgotten,” as they put it.
