Al-Aqsa flood in the heart of the West Bank
The Israeli occupation destroyed at least 12 huge towers containing hundreds of residential apartments. It also destroyed dozens of buildings, facilities and other homes, turning them into piles of rubble. It also bombed the Gaza Strip with tons of explosives and missiles, which led to the extermination of entire families and 44 citizens from the Shihab family alone, and the bombing of the homes above the heads of their owners, which led to human massacres.
Worst of all is that the occupation authorities will not allow any humanitarian aid to enter, as the Minister of Energy said before the release of all the Israelis held by Hamas. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA) said that more than 340,000 Palestinians were displaced from the northern Gaza Strip and the shelters were crowded with them, and called for... 104 million dollars in urgent aid to Gaza and its people. The confrontation does not appear to be only between Israel and Gaza, but it has begun to extend practically and on the ground to the West Bank, where dozens of young men have been martyred over the past days in most governorates, including Jerusalem.
Red Crescent ambulance officer Murad Al-Saadi said that the occupation’s attacks on medical crews led to the killings of at least 11 ambulance officers and the departure of twenty vehicles from service due to being directly hit by fire from the occupation forces. Therefore, the Red Crescent crews organized a protest in front of the Red Cross office in Hebron. .
The occupation forces also carried out a massive arrest campaign in the West Bank and Jerusalem that affected dozens of citizens and imposed restrictions on worshipers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevented many from entering. Likewise, a citizen and his son from the town of Qusra were martyred by settlers’ bullets, in an attack on a funeral procession for four martyrs from the same village. A woman was murdered and her son was injured by bullets from the occupation forces that targeted a car they were in. Sporadic clashes also took place between the occupation forces and resistant youth in different parts of the West Bank, leading to multiple injuries on the Israeli side.
The bottom line is that we in the West Bank and Gaza are one people, and we have one hopes and a common destiny, no matter how different the days and the facts are. We were like that and we are like that in these days and in the future.
