These sad and painful scenes have become a recurring reality due to the most brutal Israeli war against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, persisting to this day in the Gaza Strip. This is happening in the midst of international silence, endorsement, and Arab indifference towards what is taking place there.
The Israeli occupation, under international cover, perpetrates its brutality against civilians during its war on Gaza, committing dozens of massacres. The latest of these was the bombardment of Al-Shifa Hospital in the densely populated city of Gaza, which has become a shelter for thousands of Palestinian refugees.
Israeli Occupation Massacres in Gaza
Not to mention the other crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against civilians in the Palestinian refugee camps who were displaced to the Gaza Strip in 1948, such as the camps of Jabalia, Maghazi, Bureij, and Shati. Preceding these incidents was the shelling of Al-Ma’man Hospital in the heart of the old city of Gaza. Hundreds of martyrs, including children and innocent women in their homes, fell victim to these massacres.
It is worth noting that the toll of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 10,000 Palestinian martyrs, the majority of whom are civilians, accounting for over 70%. Additionally, around 25,000 people have been wounded with various injuries, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health up to this moment.
