Medical sources reported the martyrdom of a Palestinian citizen and the injury of another with varying degrees of wounds, today, Wednesday, following a drone strike by the Israeli occupation army. The bombing directly targeted a tent housing displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area, located west of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip, an area crowded with thousands of forcibly displaced people.
In a related context, the occupation artillery continued its violent shelling of various areas east of Gaza City, coinciding with military vehicles stationed in the eastern axes randomly firing their heavy machine guns. Warships also participated in the attacks by firing their shells and bullets towards the city's coastline, causing panic among residents.
These bloody field developments come despite the ongoing ceasefire agreement that began last October. Documented statistics reveal a dangerous escalation in Israeli violations, with approximately 673 martyrs and 1799 injured since the agreement came into effect, putting the calm at risk.
Regarding the general humanitarian situation, the continuous aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has resulted in a catastrophic toll exceeding 72,000 martyrs and approximately 172,000 injured. Military operations have also caused widespread destruction to infrastructure and residential areas, rendering large areas of the Strip uninhabitable amid ongoing airstrikes and artillery shelling.
In the occupied West Bank, occupation forces launched a widespread raid campaign focused on the city of Qalqilya and its surrounding towns in the northern West Bank. This campaign resulted in the arrest of 16 Palestinian women after storming and searching their homes and tampering with their contents, a move described by local sources as part of the collective punishment policy pursued by the occupation.
Field sources clarified that the majority of the arrested women are wives of current or released prisoners, in addition to mothers of Palestinian martyrs. The raids included the towns of Azzun, Kafr Thulth, and Sanniriya, where the detainees were interrogated on the spot before most of them were transferred to interrogation centers, while two women were released later.
Human rights reports indicate that the pace of attacks in the West Bank has reached record numbers since October 2023, with 1132 martyrs falling to occupation and settler bullets. Arrests also reached approximately 22,000 cases, coinciding with an escalation in the policy of home demolitions and forced displacement for the benefit of settlement expansion in various governorates, including occupied Jerusalem.
The body of a martyr and an injured person arrived at Nasser Hospital as a result of a bombing by an Israeli drone targeting a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area.
