At least nine people, including three journalists, were killed and several others injured in an attack on Israeli drones against Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian media.
The attack would have targeted a rescue team accompanied by journalists and photographers on Saturday. At least three local journalists are among the dead.
The Palestinian journalists’ protection center said in a statement that “journalists document humanitarian aid for people affected by the genocidal war of Israel”.
Israel rejected the opening talks on the second phase of the ceasefire between computer science and Hamas, which would force him to negotiate a permanent end of war, a Key Hamas request.
Reporting from Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, Tareq Abu Azzoum of Tel Aviv Tribune has said that since the implementation of the first phase of January, various humanitarian organizations and charitable organizations have started to accelerate their efforts to provide humanitarian support to the Palestinians, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
“The attack (on Beit Laahiya) sparked a large band of conviction, but it was not the first. Here, in the southern part of Gaza, we saw Israeli drones hovering above while Rafah City, we have been confirmed by eye witnesses that they were exposed to Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours, “said Abu Azzoum.
Hamas called Beit Lahiya’s attack on “horrible massacre” and “continuation” of “Israeli war crimes against our people and a dangerous escalation which reflects its insistence on the continuation of its aggression and its contempt for all international laws and conventions”. The group also and called on the mediators of ceasefire to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move forward with the implementation of the agreed and the agreed prisoner.
In a statement, the Israeli army said it had struck “two terrorists … operating a drone who represented a threat” for Israeli soldiers in the Beit Lahiya region.
“Later, a number of additional terrorists collected the operating equipment of the drone and entered a vehicle. The (Israeli soldiers) hit the terrorists, “he added without providing any evidence of his claims.
The Gaza Ministry of Health says that at least 48,543 Palestinians were confirmed and 111,981 wounded since the start of the war. The Gaza Government Media Office has updated its number of deaths more than 61,700, saying that thousands of Palestinians who disappeared under the rubble are presumed dead.
“Crisis which has no end in sight” due to the help blockade
In addition to its current drone attacks against Gaza, Israel interrupted the entry of all help into the enclave on March 2, a few hours after the first phase of its fragile ceasefire with the expiration of Hamas, which raises fears of “hunger for deepening” and more difficulties for the people of Gaza.
Israel has also reduced electricity to a crucial water desalination factory, threatening the supply of drinking water to Gaza.
“People were forced to depend on alternative and negative adaptation mechanisms, including the reduction in meals they have daily,” said Abu Azzoum.
“Families find it difficult to afford the meal to break their fast during Ramadan, another sign of a crisis that has no end,” he added.
Rights organizations have accused Israel of crimes against humanity and violations of international law for having cut aid to Gaza.
According to Niku Jafarnia, a researcher at Humanu Human, Humanu Human Rights (acts of genocide “of Israel, is” deliberate “from Gaza’s access to” acts of genocide “.
Israel reduces Gaza water supplies “not only (attacking) desalination installations, but also by cutting water through the pipelines that enter Gaza from Israel, cutting fuel or restricting access to fuel, and also destroying and attacking wastewater factories.
“It is also a question of not allowing necessary repair materials in order to rebuild and repair a large part of the water infrastructure and to attack a warehouse which belonged to the municipality of water which stored … millions of dollars of repair equipment.”
Calit-fire conferences in limbo?
The aid blockade from Israel and recent attacks in Gaza are involved while the cease-fire talks are continuing.
The reports of Amman, Jordan, Nour Odeh of Tel Aviv Tribune, affirms that the negotiations of the truce seem to be in the limbo because each of the negotiation parts is held firmly.
“Hamas has proposed to release an Israeli captive which holds the double citizenship with the bodies of four captives. Israel has his own proposal while the American envoy Steve Witkoff proposed something more aligned in Netanyahu’s position-but certainly neither here nor there, “she said.
“Hamas insists that the end of the war must be discussed, not only the details of an agreement or a bristing proposal, so there is still a very large gap,” she added.
