Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip witnessed a horrific massacre yesterday, Monday, committed by the Israeli occupation forces in cooperation with affiliated armed militias, leading to the martyrdom of a number of people and dozens of injuries. Medical sources from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported the arrival of the bodies of 10 Palestinian martyrs, in addition to a large number of injured people who were subjected to direct gunfire and shelling in the eastern areas of the camp.
Field details indicate that the attack began with the infiltration of armed groups from the direction of the Yellow Line, targeting a school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) that was sheltering hundreds of displaced persons. These groups randomly opened fire inside the school and arrested a number of civilians, causing a state of extreme panic among the displaced families who had no means to defend themselves.
When the camp residents attempted to confront these armed groups, violent clashes erupted in the area, prompting the occupation army to intervene immediately to provide heavy fire cover. The occupation forces used warplanes and military vehicles to shell citizens, enabling the militias to withdraw after committing their crime against the residents who tried to protect their homes and shelters.
This incident sparked a wave of widespread anger on social media platforms, where activists circulated video clips documenting the first moments of transferring the victims to hospitals. Observers confirmed that what happened in Al-Maghazi was a treacherous crime targeting unarmed citizens who succeeded in cornering a group of agents before the occupation planes intervened to rescue them and shelled the area with "cowardice and treachery."
Palestinian activists stressed that the current stage requires national resolve towards those they described as "traitors" who operate under the command of the occupation army to carry out assassinations and kidnappings. They pointed out that these mercenaries receive financial and media support to dismantle the internal front, emphasizing that combating this phenomenon has become a top priority to protect the lives of displaced persons in border areas.
In a related context, tweeters drew attention to the ongoing suffering of thousands of displaced persons in the neighborhoods along the Yellow Line east of the Strip, where they face the daily risk of death away from the world's eyes. They explained that the past five months have not been without almost daily casualties and martyrs, as a result of repeated incursions carried out by gangs linked to the occupation with the aim of terrorizing the population.
This massacre comes amid the continued violations of the ceasefire agreement by the occupation army, with statistics indicating the killing of 723 Palestinians and the injury of about 1990 others since the agreement came into effect. These figures reflect the extent of ongoing Israeli violations targeting civilians in various areas of the Gaza Strip, amidst international silence regarding the crimes committed against displaced persons.
Every day that passes proves that the priority of our people is to fight traitors and those who promote and support them with money, media, and weapons.
