On the 172nd day of the Israeli war on Gaza and the 16th day of Ramadan, dozens of Palestinians were martyred in occupation bombing on the vicinity of the Shifa and Rafah complex and the displaced camps in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis, a day after the issuance of Security Council Resolution No. 2728 calling for an immediate ceasefire.
Victims of drowning and stampede
The government media office in the Gaza Strip announced that 18 Palestinians were martyred within one day due to the wrong landing of aid from planes.
The office said - in a statement - that dozens of hungry citizens entered the sea in the northern Gaza Strip governorate, in order to obtain aid that was incorrectly dropped by planes into the sea instead of on land.
He added that 12 of them died from drowning, while 6 died from the stampede.
Testimonies of the execution of children
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that it documented the execution of 13 children by the Israeli occupation forces in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings, west of Gaza City.
He pointed out that a number of children were killed while being surrounded by the occupation army with their families inside their homes, and others while trying to flee along paths that the army had previously determined for them, after it forced them to flee their homes and places of residence.
Gaza battles
Al Jazeera's correspondent said that violent clashes took place between resistance fighters and occupation forces in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, west of Gaza City.
The reporter also reported that similar confrontations took place between the resistance and the occupation forces south of the Beach camp, west of the city.
For its part, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced that it targeted an Israeli troop carrier with an Al-Yassin 105 shell and sniped a soldier on Al-Rashid Street, west of the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City.
Losses of the occupying army
On the other hand, the Israeli army announced today that 31 soldiers were injured in the Gaza battles during the past 48 hours.
He pointed out that 3,130 officers and soldiers have been injured since the beginning of the war, including 1,509 who were injured during the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which began late last October.
For its part, the Sheba Medical Center in Israel revealed that 60% of Israeli soldiers who were injured in the Gaza war and underwent rehabilitation suffered from symptoms of concussion, and some of them were diagnosed as suffering from mental problems.
Marwan Issa
The Israeli army announced that it was able to assassinate Marwan Issa, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Al-Qassam Brigades, in a raid on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip two weeks ago.
Hamas has not yet issued any announcement confirming or denying the martyrdom of Marwan Issa, nor has Israel provided concrete evidence of his assassination.
Bombing of Hermel
Israeli strikes targeted the Hermel area, which is a Hezbollah stronghold in northeastern Lebanon, about 130 kilometers from the southern border, according to official media in Beirut.
These raids are the first strikes targeting the Hermel area in the Bekaa Valley and the most in-depth strikes in Lebanese territory since the start of the bombing exchange between Hezbollah and the Israeli army about 6 months ago.
For its part, Hezbollah announced that it had carried out 10 attacks on occupation sites and targeted a barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan with more than 50 Katyusha rockets.
A martyr from the Al-Quds Brigades
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced the martyrdom of one of its fighters in southern Lebanon “while performing his combat duty within the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.”
Negotiations developments
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari said that indirect talks between Hamas and Israel are still ongoing at the level of technical teams. He added that there is no timetable for negotiations, "but we are continuing with our partners in mediation efforts."
He pointed out that there are difficulties on the ground related to the negotiations, "but the meetings are continuing in Doha."
Conscription law crisis
Israeli Channel 13 said that dozens of army reserve commanders informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the broad outlines of the conscription law seriously harm the security of the state, while a government meeting scheduled to discuss the draft law was postponed until a later time.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that Netanyahu proposed in his meeting with the government's legal advisor to recruit 2,500 Haredim (religious Jews) annually, while Haaretz newspaper revealed that the government session dedicated to discussing the conscription law had been postponed without setting a new date for its holding in light of the Haredim's opposition to conscription.
"Red Cow" conference
Extremist Temple groups announced the holding of a conference tomorrow, Wednesday, to discuss “religious preparations” for holding the ritual slaughter of the red cow in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The process of slaughtering the red cow, according to extremist Zionist beliefs, aims to purify itself from the “impurity of the dead,” bypassing the ban imposed by the Chief Rabbinate of the Zionist entity on storming Al-Aqsa Mosque due to the lack of the condition of purity.
