Some Israeli and foreign media have been reporting that the IOF is in the final stages of its “mission” in the north of Gaza, and is in the process of withdrawing. This is not the case, and the propagation of this lie is allowing the IOF to kill more people in silence.

It is true that the IOF have withdrawn from SOME areas of the north. Journalist Hossam Shabat reports a full or near-full withdrawal of IOF from Beit Hanoun, for example. The IOF have also partially withdrawn from areas of western Gaza City and other regions.

But THEY STILL OCCUPY MUCH OF NORTH GAZA!!! Throughout their campaign, they have been bombing all over northern Gaza, both in the form of individual air strikes, and as accompaniment for their ground forces. Now, the trend seems to be partial withdrawals from and a *general* cessation of bombing in *some* areas, particularly in Beit Hanoun. However, where their ground forces remain, they have begun bombing even harder. People on the ground in Tuffah, Jabaliya, and Tal Al-Hawa in particular report a sharp increase in bombardment, including shelter centers.

On Instagram, multiple sources throughout north Gaza report continued and increased bombing in their areas. Shadi Mahmoud has been unable to travel around in search of internet connection because it is too dangerous to go out. Nurse Karam Naji reports that the bombing of Tal Al-Hawa is constant, and that IOF tanks and vehicles are in parts of Gaza City. Journalist Dawoud Abo Alkas reports the firing of smoke bombs in the skies about Tal Al-Hawa, which are used to conceal their operations and impede visibility for people on the ground.

Environmental engineer Dr. Tamer Al-Najjar reports a renewed IOF invasion of Jabaliya via the east edge of the city. There are drones, quadcopters, snipers, tanks, and other armaments attacking with great force.

Nurse and medical student princekouta reports very violent ground clashes in Tuffah and Jabaliya, in conjunction with the aerial bombardment of Tal Al-Hawa. The university in which he and tens of thousands of displaced people was also bombed today, with injuries and martyrs reported. He says this is the worst the bombardment has been practically since the beginning of the attacks, and he can now hear ground clashes very close to their location.

If you see this lie about the IOF leaving north Gaza going around, please correct it. People have started to completely forget the crisis in the north, and it is allowing the IOF to commit atrocities with impunity.

Targeting mosques and residential buildings.

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that at least 19 Palestinians died in a bombing that targeted a residential house in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, and several others were injured. In the Beach Camp, west of Gaza City, 24 Palestinians were killed and more were injured in air raids on homes. Most of the victims were children and women, according to Civil Defense crews in Gaza Governorate. Mahmoud Basal, Civil Defense spokesman in Gaza, told Al-Jazeera that the bombing of the Beach Camp caused extensive destruction, reducing buildings to ashes. The scale of the devastation has made it difficult for civil defense crews to search for survivors or recover the dead in the densely populated area.

MURDER OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN CONTINUES ENDLESSLY AS ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD IGNORES GENOCIDE

The leadership of nearly the entire collective West continues to look away while pocketing the profits of the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, with American-made bombs continuing to drop on civilian families, residential homes, and public infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave.

According to local reporting, the Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential apartment belonging to the Banat family in the vicinity of the Al-Sousi Mosque in central Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of five Palestinian civilians who were transported to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city.

The five killed were from a single family, and included the deaths of Kamal Awad Banat, along with his son Abdul Salam, and his daughters Raghad, Hidaya, and Rama, while his daughter Rawaa remains missing under the rubble.

Meanwhile, Zionist warplanes bombed a residential apartment in the Saad building, belonging to the Al-Ghafri family in the Al-Mashahra area of Al-Nafaq Street, in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Following the bombing, the bodies of four Palestinian corpses were recovered from the rubble, while several wounded civilians were taken to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

In yet another atrocity, occupation fighter jets bombed a residential building belonging to the Al-Zard family in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

After the assault, local ambulance and civil crews managed to recover bodies of three civilians, while 7 others wounded in the bombing were taken to a local hospital.

Similarly, occupation warplanes bombed a house west of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinians and wounding a number of others, while several civilians were wounded earlier in the day after Zionist aircraft bombed a house opposite the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.

According to local medical reporting, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed since dawn on Wednesday, while the bodies of 14 murdered Palestinians have been recovered from the city of Rafah, south of Gaza, since dawn today.

At the same time, the Director of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories, Andrea Di Domenico, said today, Wednesday, July 3rd, that 9 out of 10 Palestinians in Gaza have been "displaced at least once."

The current death toll in the Gaza genocide now exceeds 37'953 Palestinians killed, while another 87'266 others have been wounded since October 7th, 2023.

6 November 2024.

The US-backed terrorist state of Israel targeted a residential area on Yafa Street in Al-Tufah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, killing and injuring several Palestinians, many of them children.

Translation by mydxbstyle:

‘While the whole world is busy and no one is paying attention to Gaza, the Israeli massacres continue against children and peaceful (citizens) who are safe (in their homes) in the Gaza Strip.

In just these moments, the Israeli Occupation army committed a massacre against children here in the Al Tuffah District in east Gaza City.

We are witnessing here this difficult and painful scene of these children who have lost their lives. They went to sleep hungry and were instantly martyred while they were still hungry.

We are reporting on a genocide against citizens and children in the Gaza Strip. And Gaza City and the Northern Gaza Strip are still being exterminated by the Israeli Occupation army.

We are witnessing these children and this difficult and painful scene of them. Also, next to them here are the corpses of martyrs here on the floor. They were retrieved a short while ago by Medical Teams.

It is an ongoing and continuous extermination (campaign) against families and citizens in the Gaza Strip.

And no one is paying attention to Gaza or the people of Gaza, or to these children who are still being exterminated, even till this very moment.

We are reporting on a genocide and massacres that do not stop for even a single moment.

These are difficult and painful scenes that nobody is able to look at nor is anyone able to handle it.’

[good-old-gossip]

In the Gaza Strip, there are two cemeteries that contain the remains of British soldiers, most of whom died fighting in World War One, a few of whom died in World War Two.

Owned by the UK-based Commonwealth War Graves Commission, they are known locally as the British graveyards, and are regarded as a major cultural and archaeological site in the Palestinian enclave.

The Gaza War Cemetery lies in al-Tuffah neighbourhood in the north of Gaza. It has 3,217 graves, of which 781 are unidentified. Second World War burials number 210.

There are 30 post-war burials and 234 war graves of other nationalities. The other is located in the north of Deir al-Balah, in the area of al-Zwayda.

Inside it lies 724 soldiers, all of them British. Both cemeteries have survived since Israel's war on Gaza began, just as they have survived many conflicts before.

In 2006, the Gaza War Cemetery was partially damaged by an Israeli missile. Israel paid £90,000 as compensation.

In addition, about 350 headstones needed repair after Israel’s three-week assault on Gaza in 2009. Few areas of Gaza have been spared the onslaught of Israel’s latest military operation.

But compared with the scores of Palestinian graveyards left in ruins by the assault, the British cemeteries appear to have been consciously avoided. Al-Shujayya, Beit Hanoon and Khan Younis's cemeteries have all been wrecked, as well as the graveyard of the Church of Saint Porphyrius - believed to be the world's third oldest church - which was reduced to rubble.

Running out of capacity since January and receiving scores of corpses every day, the municipality of Deir al-Balah has been reliant on mass graves to absorb the influx.

“The continuous Israeli bombardment leaves us with no choice. We dig tens of metres deep into the ground to bury people. There were days I had to bury 300 or 400 people," Abu Jawad Baraka, a 64-year-old undertaker, told MEE.

"But Israel can’t cause havoc to the British graveyards and will pay so much money in compensation to repair what was barely damaged. They’re sacred to them, and just thinking about it hurts.”

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

WAR OF EXTERMINATION DAY 260: HEALTHCARE WORKERS CONTINUE TO BE TARGETED BY OCCUPATION ARMY, NEW MASSACRES KILL DOZENS AS MASS SLAUGHTER INTENSIFIES ONCE AGAIN

On 260th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 3 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 101 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 169 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.

Speaking with the local Palestinian media, the Director General of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Munir Al-Bursh, said that the Israeli occupation continues to be intent on murdering healthcare personnel and still targets Gaza's healthcare system.

The Director General also called for an international investigation and asked that the international community intervene to protect medical personnel in the Palestinian enclave.

Further, Al-Bursh called for the investigation to be conducted, including an autopsy on the bodies of those killed by the Israeli occupation, and for the release of all detained medical personnel from the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the Zionist occupation army continues mass murdering Palestinian civilians, even as the occupation army admits it is unlikely Hamas will be defeated in the way the occupation's politicians believe the resistance group can be.

A recent statement by occupation army spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, noted that “saying that we will destroy Hamas and make it disappear is just a speck of dust in the eyes of the Israelis,” adding that “Hamas is an idea, and whoever thinks that we can make it disappear is mistaken.”

At the same time, the Israeli occupation's leadership continues pushing for war with Lebanon, while the head of Israeli energy company Noga recently warned that "the country is not ready for a real war" with Hezbollah.

Netanyahu, for his part, refuses to acknowledge the realities on the ground, insisting this week that the war will not end until Hamas is eliminated and the hostages freed, adding angrily that "This is my position, and whoever opposes that, let him oppose it publicly."

Meanwhile, Palestinian civilians in Gaza continue to be mass slaughtered as the genocide continues unabated.

In just the latest example, the Zionist occupation army committed two new massacres overnight in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, as well as in the Al-Shati (Beach) Camp, west of the city, resulting in the deaths of more than 42 Palestinian civilians.

Speaking of the massacres at a press conference on Saturday, director of the government media office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, confirmed the slaughter, telling Al-Jazeera News “24 Palestinians were martyred as a result of the targeting of 7 homes in the Beach Camp, and 18 Palestinians were martyred as a result of the Israeli bombing in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood.”

According to local sources, the Israeli occupation forces bombed 3 residential buildings in the vicinity of the Sousi Mosque in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City, killing several civilians and wounding a number of others.

In a previous assault, on Friday, occupation fighter jets bombed two residential apartments in the central areas of Gaza City, killing at least 5 Palestinians and wounding several others.

According to the Palestinian media, local civil defense crews managed to recover the bodies of 5 Palestinians and a number of wounded after Zionist warplanes bombed two residential apartments belonging to the Mushtaha and Abu Al-Atta families, behind the Deir al-Latin School in the Old City area of central Gaza City.

Israeli fighter jets also bombed a residential house belonging to the Salah family in the Al-Shati Camp, killing upwards of 10 civilians and wounding at least 17 others.

The wounded were immediately transferred to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, while the occupation's artillery shelling continued hammering the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

In another bombing, the Israeli occupation forces targeted a gathering of civilians in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, while several others were wounded as a result of an occupation air raid near Wadi Gaza in central Gaza.

South of Gaza, Israeli aircraft bombed the Khirbet al-Adas area, north of Rafah, killing two Palestinians and wounding several others.

The genocide continued with the Zionist army's artillery shelling, which targeted the tents of displaced Palestinian families in the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah, an area the occupation army previously told civilians would be a "safe" zone, killing upwards of 25 civilians, and wounding a number of others.

According to reporters with the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli aircraft broke the sound barrier in two locations, after which, local residents and displaced civilians gathered and were immediately targeted by an Israeli missile, resulting in the massacre of 25 civilians and wounding many others.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) also reported that its personnel were dealing with large numbers of casualties after the Israeli occupation forces bombed the tents of displaced families.

The Zionist army also bombed a house belonging to the Al-Sharif family, east of Al-Nuseirat, in the central Gaza Strip, murdering a number of Palestinians, and wounding others, including children, who were transported to Al-Awda Hospital, where an infant girl who was wounded in the strike was said to be in critical condition.

Similarly, the Israeli occupation forces stationed tanks and troops along the so-called Netzarim Corridor, an Israeli-built infrastructure dividing the Gaza Strip into its northern and southern constituent halves, firing shells towards the Al-Zaytoun, Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Ajlin, and Al-Sabra neighborhoods, resulting in a number of casualties, including women and children, who were also taken to Al-Awda Hospital, while simultaneously, Occupation Apache helicopters fired on civilian homes in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

The slaughter continued with the occupation bombing of a home in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood that resulted in the deaths of two young men who were quickly taken to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.

Another civilian was killed, and others wounded, when Zionist artillery shelling targeted the power station north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the infinitely rising death toll now exceeds 37'551 Palestinians killed, including upwards of 10'000 women and over 15'000 children, while another 85'911 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
