Siege of Gaza, square by square

The number of people who lost their lives in Israel’s bombardment of the blockaded Gaza Strip, shocked by the bloody Hamas attack, rose to 560.

The written statement from the Gaza Ministry of Health notes that 560 people have been killed and 2,900 injured in Israel’s attacks on Gaza since October 7. There are many children among the dead and injured.

The Palestinian Health Ministry argued that Israel deliberately targeted hospitals and ambulances in its attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip.

As the Israeli army concentrates on the blocked border of the Gaza Strip, tension in the region is gradually increasing. The activity of the Israeli army on the border of the Gaza Strip after the “Storm Aqsa” launched by Palestinian groups on October 7 draws attention. The activity in the preparations of the Israeli army in the Sderot region of Israel is notable.

Palestinian Health Minister Mey al-Keyle called on the international community to prevent Israel’s aggression against treatment centers, vehicles and ambulance teams in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that attacking medical teams is a violation important part of international law and customs.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that one hospital staff member was killed and some hospital staff and citizens were injured in Israel’s attack on the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said they will impose a complete blockade on the Gaza Strip and that no electricity, food or fuel will be provided to the region. Gallant claimed that he had given instructions to the army and said: “We are fighting humanoid animals and we will act accordingly.”

Meanwhile, it was claimed that Israel carried out an airstrike on a house in the Cibaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip and many people were killed.

HAMAS PROPOSES TO EXCHANGE ISRAELI WOMEN

Meanwhile, it was claimed that Hamas offered Israel to hand over the Israeli women it had taken hostage in exchange for the release of Palestinian female prisoners in jails.

In a news report from the official Chinese agency Xinhua, based on “a source who wishes to remain anonymous”, it was stated that Qatar would mediate a “prisoner exchange” with the support of the United States.

The story claimed that Hamas declared that it could return the Israeli hostages to Qatar in exchange for the release of 36 Palestinian female prisoners held in Israeli prisons. The organization took many civilians hostage in Israeli settlements near Gaza in attacks it launched on October 7.

Tension is also rising on Israel’s border with Lebanon. The Israeli army confirmed that some people who tried to infiltrate the country from Lebanon were killed.

The statement said that some armed suspects who attempted to infiltrate Israel from Lebanese territory were killed at the border and that Israeli soldiers continued their search efforts in the region.

While the Israeli helicopter was recorded as hitting some targets in the border region, no information was provided on the number of people killed.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said ensuring security and stability on his country’s southern border in the face of attacks on Israel from Gaza is his priority. According to the official Lebanese agency NNA, Mikati had a telephone conversation with some leaders of the country about the events in Israel and Gaza.

During his meetings, Mikati emphasized that the Lebanese government’s priority is to guarantee security and stability in southern Lebanon and maintain tranquility on the Blue Line (border between Israel and Lebanon) under the control of the United Nations ( UN).

Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati noted that Israel’s current violations by air and sea must stop.
