Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal reports on Telegram that the occupation has launched a massive assault on Block 7 of Al-Hawaja Street in Jabaliya, in which it destroyed 11 homes, most (if not all) of which were inhabited. So far, there are over 150 martyrs. Civil Defense is unable reach the dead and dying, as the occupation has been systematically attacking and sabotaging their operations.

Civilians are desperately trying to reach medical centers, carrying their wounded loved ones in cars, on animal-drawn carts, and on foot, and facing immense difficulty. The situation is absolutely catastrophic.

🚨 ISRAEL BURNS HUNDREDS ALIVE IN SCHOOL - EMAIL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL 🚨

Israel has killed over 100 Palestinians during morning prayers at Al-Taba’een School in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City.

Israeli military aircraft targeted the school while worshippers were performing Fajr (dawn) prayers, according to reports from the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The sheer power of the bombing tore people apart and incinerated what remained. The photos and videos from inside the school are beyond words.

At the time of the bombing, over 6,000 Palestinians were sheltering in the school. The current death toll is expected to rise, with the number of injuries still being counted, though they are anticipated to be in the hundreds.

“The school area is strewn with dead bodies and body parts. It is very difficult for paramedics to identify whole bodies. There’s an arm here, a leg there. Bodies have been ripped to pieces.” - Mahmoud Basal, Gaza Civil Defence.

Israel claims with every heinous war crime that they are targeting Palestinian resistance fighters. However, evidence for this is often non-existent. Even if it were true, in some of these school bombings, the death and injury toll has seen up to 80% of the casualties being children.

Families and children are sheltering in these schools. Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable or legal under international law to bomb a school. Yet, Israel, with the full backing of the US, UK, and Germany, has bombed over 150 schools in Gaza with impunity.

WHEN WILL ISRAEL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR WAR CRIMES?

GAZA STRIP (PrR)(RNN) — 20 martyrs have ascended so far in the horrific massacre bombing the tents of the displaced in the Mawasi Khan Younis "safe zone" in southern Gaza. An infant girl was among the martyrs who burned to death in their tents.

Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Al-Jazeera: The occupation knows very well that there are only civilians in the Mawasi area.

This massacre coincided with belts of fire carried out by IOF warplanes on Gaza City in northern Gaza, where 25 martyrs ascended and 50 are wounded in a residential block.

At least 70 martyrs have ascended throughout the Gaza Strip today since dawn.

Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense, says nearly 200,000 Palestinians currently under Israeli siege in Jabalia are facing imminent death from Israeli airstrikes or from hunger and thirst due to the ongoing land blockade imposed by the Israeli army.

[ashwantsafreepalestine]

Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defense, stated that Gaza City has endured over 20 airstrikes since dawn today alone.

He emphasized the escalating violence, with the number of martyrs potentially reaching 50 within just 12 hours.

Basal described the Israeli bombardments as "pure insanity," targeting schools, mosques, homes, and infrastructure indiscriminately.

Meet the REAL BLOOD THIRSTY MONSTERS of Levant - ISRAELI TERRORIST FORCES sponsored by U.S. Tax Dollars

New video evidence relating to the killing of 15 Palestinian rescue workers by Israeli forces has emerged, contradicting the Israeli account of the attack on a medical convoy in Rafah last week.

The footage, which was retrieved from a phone belonging to one of the medics who was killed, shows the Israeli army attacking clearly marked Red Crescent ambulances that had their emergency signal lights on, and emergency medical workers wearing reflective vests.

Palestine Red Crescent Society Officials said in a news conference on Friday at the UN's headquarters that they had presented the nearly seven-minute recording to the UN Security Council.

Last week, the humanitarian workers went missing after responding to a distress call from civilians wounded in an Israeli attack in Rafah.

All contact was lost with them and the medics were found days later in a mass grave, two to three metres deep, with their bodies riddled with gunshots, according the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza.

'They were killed in their uniforms. Driving their clearly marked vehicles. Wearing their gloves. On their way to save lives," said Jonathan Whittall, head of then UN's humanitarian affairs office in Palestine.

The Palestinian health ministry said Israeli forces had executed the medics, some of whom were handcuffed, before burying them underneath their crushed ambulances in southern Gaza's Rafah.

The Israeli military said in an initial statement that the vehicles were struck because they were being used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Both groups deny using ambulances for military purposes.

The new evidence contradicts the Israeli army's account that claimed that the emergency vehicles "were identified advancing suspiciously towards [Israeli] troops without headlights or emergency signals", prompting Israeli forces to shoot.

The video shows rescue workers exiting a fire truck and an ambulance and approaching a disabled ambulance that had veered off the road. Intense gunfire suddenly erupts and can be seen striking the convoy.

Voices of distressed aid workers and soldiers shouting commands in Hebrew can be heard in the background.

A medical worker can be heard saying that Israeli forces are riddling their vehicles with bullets. He then asks his mother for forgiveness, saying: "Mum, forgive me. This is the path I chose - I wanted to help people. Forgive me, Mum. I swear, I only took this path to help people."

Gaza's government media office said in a statement that the revelations "expose the lies of the Israeli occupation army" and has demanded an independent international investigation into the killings.

The workers include eight paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, six members of the Palestinian Civil Defence search-and-rescue teams, and one UN staff member.

Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence, said at least one of them had their legs bound, another was decapitated and a third topless.

"This grave was located just metres from their vehicles, indicating the [Israeli] occupation forces removed the victims from the vehicles, executed them and then discarded their bodies in the pit," Basal said. The killings are the single deadliest attack on Red Cross/Red Crescent workers anywhere in the world since 2017, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

"My son volunteered to help the wounded. He did not receive a salary. He loved his work and he was dedicated to it," the mother of one of the paramedics, Ashraf Nasser Abu Labda, told Middle East Eye last week.

[ 📹 One casualty after another is brought to Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, today, Saturday, after the Israeli occupation forces bombed a displacement camp filled with Palestinian civilian families in the Nus area of the town of Al-Mawasi, northeast of Khan Yunis, resulting in the deaths of at least 71 civilians and wounding nearly 300 others, according to local reporting. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

GAZA GENOCIDE DAY 281: SEVERAL NEW MASSACRES ON TENTS OF DISPLACED PALESTINIAN FAMILIES LEAVES SCORES DEAD AS ISRAELI OCCUPATION ARMY INTENSIFIES ATTACKS ACROSS GAZA

On 281st day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 61 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 129 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands, of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

A new Israeli attack on the tents of displaced Palestinian families in the Nus area of the town of Al-Mawasi, northeast of Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, has killed at least 70 Palestinian civilians, and wounded nearly 300 others, in the latest example of the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Gaza's Ministry of Health said that “the death toll of the occupation’s horrific massacre against citizens and displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis reached more than 71 martyrs and 289 injuries, including serious cases that medical teams are still dealing with up to this moment.”

The Ministry previously stated that “the bodies of 20 Palestinians and over 90 injured arrived at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis after Israeli forces bombed the Al-Mawasi area.”

Reports shortly after the attack, from Gaza's media office, stated that more than 100 civilians had been killed and wounded as a result of the Zionist army's bombing of displacement tents in a "major massacre" in the Al-Mawasi area, which the occupation army previously declared a "safe" humanitarian zone.

In a statement, Gaza's Media Office said that “the occupation army committed a major massacre by bombing displaced persons camps in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, leaving more than 100 casualties, including individuals and officers from the Civil Defense according to a preliminary toll."

According to Turkish news organization, Anadolu News Agency, which has reporters on the ground in Gaza, witnesses told the news outlet that the Israeli occupation forces had fired five large missiles into the Al-Mawasi area's displacement camps, which were previously declared a humanitarian safe zone by the Zionist army.

According to the statement of Gaza's Health Ministry, the dead and wounded were transferred to Nasser Hospital, where medical staff were "unable to provide medical services at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis due to the large number of wounded."

In a statement from the Director-General of Gaza's Civil Defense services, Mahmoud Basal, "One of our members was martyred and 8 others were injured after an Israeli attack on a residential house again while crews were working to rescue citizens from inside the house in the center of Khan Yunis."

He added that the continued large-scale bombing conducted by the Israeli occupation army targeting sites, homes and tents of displaced Palestinians makes it difficult to reach many of the dead and wounded.

The Zionist entity continues to violate the orders of the United Nations Security Council, which demanded an immediate ceasefire in a resolution back in early June, 2024, and continues to face international condemnation over its ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The Zionist entity has also been accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague, in the Netherlands, where a recent ruling ordered the Israeli occupation army to immediately halt its military operations in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, where, at the time, more than 1 million Palestinians had sought shelter from the army's endless bombing, shelling and gunfire, as well as drone and missile strikes, before itself being invaded on May 6th.

Unfortunately for the Palestinian population of Gaza, the Israeli occupation's audacious massacres and war crimes continued on Saturday, July 13th, when occupation forces bombed a prayer hall near the White Mosque in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of more than 25 Palestinian civilians, and wounding dozens of others.

Meanwhile, large-scale massacres aside, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued to target the homes and shelters of Palestinian families across the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens more civilians, and leaving countless thousands of people without shelter.

On the 281st day of the genocidal operations in the Gaza Strip, a retreat of the Zionist army's Merkava tanks and other armored personnel carriers from the Industrial area and the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City, has revealed the presence of dozens of martyrs inside their homes, executed by the occupation army.

Since Friday, Palestinian rescue crews have continued their work to retrieve the bodies of the dead and wounded from the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood and the Industrial area of Gaza City, where witnesses say they saw the occupation army execute civilians, including women, children and the elderly, as well as entire families, inside their homes.

Local civil defense and paramedic crews managed to recover the decomposing corpses of more than 60 Palestinians from the Al-Shujaiya and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods since dawn on Saturday, while dozens of others remain trapped under the rubble, their fates remaining unknown at this time.

Sources in the city said that dozens of bodies remain lying on the ground and in the streets, some of them charred from explosives and resulting fires, while Zionist soldiers systematically set fire to Palestinian homes before withdrawing from Tal al-Hawa and several other areas.

The Israeli occupation army also destroyed the Friends of Patients Hospital building in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, east of Gaza City, while a number of corpses were removed from the building and taken to a nearby hospital.

The International Red Cross also issued a statement on the situation, announcing it had received "hundreds of calls in recent days from desperate people asking for help, and that entire families are trapped and in need of security," adding that "the need is much greater than the ability to respond."

The Zionist army continues to occupy several areas of the two neighborhoods in Gaza City, with the presence of military vehicles on Carrefour Street and Street 8.

Additionally, the Asdeeq al-Mu'reed Hospital continues to remain out of service due to the immense destruction evident to parts of the hospital that occured during Israeli ground operations in Gaza City.

IOF warplanes also renewed their bombardment of civilian homes in Gaza, with four members of the Abu Hashem family martyred in the bombing of a residential apartment on al-Jala'a Street, while another three civilians were killed in the bombing of the Al-Katiba area of Gaza City.

The occupation army also opened fire on the al-Mina area, west of Gaza City, killing the fisherman Ahmed al-Nasi.

In yet another massacre, Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential home near the Islamic University in the Ma'an area, south of the city of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing two members of the Wadi family, including a man and his wife, who was 3-months pregnant at the time of her death.

The atrocities continued when the Zionist army bombed the Al-Mawasi area, which the army claimed to be a safe zone, resulting in the deaths of four International aid workers.

Occupation fighter jets next bombed a residential building which remains under construction, belonging to Mr. Abdul Malik Baraka, located behind the former electricity company, opposite the Al-Khansa School in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis.

The Israeli occupation army also continues its ground operations in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, for the third consecutive month, while Zionist forces continue to openly fire on any civilians that enter the city.

Israeli occupation forces also bombed a residential building in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah City, killing two Palestinian citizens.

Additionally, two Palestinian women were killed when Zionist warplanes bombed a residential house in the city of Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.

Similarly, occupation aircraft bombarded a residential home belonging to the Aql family near the Nuseirat Municipality, in the central Gaza Strip, wounding at least 10 civilians.

Occupation warplanes also bombed a residential house in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, while Zionist artillery detatchments shelled neighborhoods north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) also reported the recovery of 5 dead bodies, including three children, who were killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike on the residential home of Al-Ra'i family in the city of Deir al-Balah. The dead and wounded were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city.

Explosions were also heard coming from the vicinity of the Shuhada Junction, south of Gaza City, which coincided with occupation artillery shelling targeting the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Occupation quadcopter drones were also witnessed firing at civilians south of the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, while Zionist artillery detatchments fired shells towards the south of the Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of the city.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the infinitely rising death toll now exceeds 38'443 Palestinians killed, including at least 10'000 women and well over 15'000 children, while another 88'481 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

This means the Israeli occupation forces have left a total of 126'924 casualties, according to the official count of the Ministry of Health, in its wake in the Gaza Strip, or the equivalent of 5.5% of the total Palestinian population of the enclave.

"The Israeli caller was on the phone talking to the Civil Defense workers. Identifying himself as from the Israeli army, he informed the workers that Israel would bomb the Dar al-Arqam school in Gaza City’s eastern Tuffah neighborhood a second time. The first time had already taken place an hour before the call.

The bombing of the school killed 29 people on Thursday, and almost a hundred people were injured and stuck under the rubble. The Civil Defense team had been working on pulling out the injured with basic tools and bare hands.

It was in the middle of these rescue efforts that the Israeli army representative said the school would be bombed again. The Civil Defense workers pleaded that they be given enough time to get the injured out from under the rubble.

“We’re working with our hands. Are you only giving us an hour to search and pull people out?” the Civil Defense worker said, as shown in video footage filmed for Mondoweiss.

“Yes,” the Israeli caller responded.

In the same hour, the army bombed the nearby Fahd School, killing three people.

The Gaza Health Ministry said in its daily report that over 100 people had arrived dead in Gaza’s hospitals over the past 24 hours.

“The bombing is non-stop. We are talking about a massacre in every sense of the word,” Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, told Mondoweiss. “The targeting of more than one building at Dar al-Arqam School has resulted in dozens of martyrs, including children, women, and entire families who were targeted and killed.”

“It is a shelter for displaced people,” Basal added, indicating that the Civil Defense’s network of first responders is unable to keep up with the scale of the killings. ..."

"...In the early hours of Thursday morning, the Israeli army spokesperson posted an evacuation warning to the residents of al-Shuja’iyya, one of Gaza City’s largest neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city. Families in the area called their relatives west of the city to ask them for shelter, but they found that their relatives had also received the same evacuation orders.

Most of Gaza City has received such orders over the past few days, leaving residents with nowhere to go.

Bilal al-Horkily, 34, holds his bag in one hand and his daughter in another as he evacuates al-Shuja’iyya, with his family of five following close behind.

“We tried to stay as much as we could, but they’re bombing and shelling everything,” he says in video testimony for Mondoweiss. “We left, but we don’t know where to go.”

[tieflingkisser]

Palestinians in Gaza are forced to make life-or-death decisions following Israeli evacuation orders. There is no right choice.

This week, families in Gaza City followed orders to evacuate to a nearby school, and then Israel bombed it, killing 18 people. There is no safe choice for Palestinians when they are forced to decide whether to leave their homes.

On Tuesday, November 26, the Israeli army bombed the Al-Hurriya School in the Zaytoon area. Fourteen of the people who were killed arrived in local hospitals, and at least four more were not found; in other words, their bodies were completely destroyed. Inside the Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City the spokesman for the Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, stands surrounded by bodies and limbs gathered on pieces of cloth and sheets. In a video obtained by Mondoweiss, Basal described the scene of the attack. “The Israeli occupation continues its bombing operations until this moment, and this massacre in the Al-Hurriya School, which houses thousands of displaced people, is being targeted. What this raid left behind is several martyrs, some of whom arrived beheaded and others who, unfortunately, are difficult to identify,” he explained. “There are a number of martyrs whose fate is unknown until this moment, and they cannot be identified because their bodies are completely torn apart.” He confirmed that the initial toll is 14 martyrs, some of whom arrived at the Arab Baptist Hospital, and there are still a number in the school under the rubble. He says that rescue crews are having difficulty accessing the area due to the danger of unexploded ordnance. Basal also commented on Israel’s practice of targeting shelters, displacement camps, and schools. “This is the policy that the Israeli occupation has been following since the beginning of the war until this moment,” he said.
