At least three Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike early Sunday morning that targeted a house near the al-Sawarha cemetery, west of Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip. This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, which it resumed on March 18.

The Israeli occupation government, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, insists on continuing its war of extermination, which has been raging since October 7, 2023, despite mounting demands on the Israeli street to halt the war and return the Israeli detainees in the Gaza Strip. Thousands of people took part in a mass demonstration in Tel Aviv's Prisoners' Square on Saturday evening, demanding the return of the detainees. Netanyahu said on Saturday that he is determined to continue the war, rejecting Hamas' demands for a ceasefire. He stressed that the war will not stop until its full goals are achieved, foremost among which are "eliminating Hamas, returning the kidnapped soldiers, and ensuring that the Gaza Strip does not pose a threat to Israel's security."

Yesterday, Saturday, witnessed the death of the first occupation soldier since the resumption of the war, as the Israeli occupation army announced the death of an officer and the serious injury of three other soldiers, including a female officer, during battles in the northern Gaza Strip. For its part, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, announced yesterday, Saturday, that its fighters carried out a "complex ambush" against an Israeli force in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, which resulted in deaths and injuries among its ranks. This brings the number of soldiers whose deaths the Israeli occupation army has acknowledged since the beginning of the war of extermination it is waging on Gaza on October 7, 2023, to 847, including 408 since the start of the ground operation on the 27th of the same month.
