Hundreds of buildings were destroyed and hundreds of buildings destroyed, rescuers said, as Israel’s retaliatory attacks on Gaza entered its third week, with bombs pounding the already devastated Gaza Strip day and night yesterday. A person’s life was lost.
After hours of airstrikes and shelling throughout the night, much of the Gaza Strip has been reduced to an unrecognizable wasteland of piled rubble, with residents likening the devastation to a natural disaster.
The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said the death toll from Israeli bombings was more than 7,703 people, more than 3,500 of whom were children.
“Israel must immediately stop this madness and cease its attacks,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a post on X on Saturday, after the United Nations General Assembly called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip. said.
The United Nations has warned that the death toll will soon rise to thousands more as Israel escalates its ground operations, but families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas say the government has refused to inquire about the fate of their captives. He said he ignored it.
UN human rights chief Volker Turk warned that “a large-scale ground operation in Gaza could have catastrophic consequences”, adding that “thousands more civilians” could be killed. He said that there is a sex.
“When these hostilities end, the survivors will be faced with the ruins of their homes and the graves of their loved ones,” Turk said.
Witnesses said most of the bombings were concentrated in the Jabaliya area in northern Gaza. The airstrike left wide craters in the streets and destroyed many buildings in the area.
A huge orange flash of light lit up the night sky over Gaza City as airstrike after airstrike hit the shattered area, cutting off internet access and phone networks.
Hamas militants have announced that they are fighting Israeli forces in two areas in the Gaza Strip.
“We are facing an Israeli ground invasion in Beit Hanun (in the northern Gaza Strip) and east of Breij (in the center), with violent engagements taking place on the ground,” the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement. “There is,” he said.
Hamas said Israel “doubled” the number of airstrikes on Friday night and renewed its appeal for international efforts to stop the attacks.
But Palestinian groups declared they were “ready” for any invasion ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
“The bodies of the soldiers will be swallowed up by the land of Gaza,” Ezzat al-Rishaq, a Hamas political bureau official, said on Telegram.
Hamas said all internet connections and communications across Gaza had been cut off and accused Israel of taking steps “to carry out genocide with bloody retaliatory attacks from the air, land and sea.”
AFP reporters in Gaza admitted they were only able to communicate in limited areas with access to Israeli networks across the border.
Between shelling and fuel shortages, 12 of Gaza’s 35 hospitals were forced to close. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that ambulance services had been suspended.
“We have completely lost contact with our operations room in the Gaza Strip and all teams operating there,” he said on Twitter.
Israel has blocked all supplies of the fuel, saying it would be used by Hamas to make weapons and explosives.
The first aid was granted on October 21, but only 84 vehicles in total passed through, compared to an average of 500 trucks entering Gaza a day before the conflict, according to the United Nations.
UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said Gazans “are not only dying from bombs and attacks, but many more will soon die from the effects of the siege.”
