Watan-In a heart-wrenching scene from the savage war unleashed by Israel on the Gaza Strip, activists circulated a video of a Palestinian youth carrying the body of his younger brother inside a “sirah” (a type of stretcher), after Israeli forces targeted him in his car on Rashid Street while he was attempting to head south in the Gaza Strip.
The circulated video showed the young man placing a large sirah on his right shoulder – containing the body of his brother – and looking behind him fearfully of being targeted. He walks a few meters before placing it on a small cart that was stationary.

The young man seemed determined to carry his brother’s martyr body with him and not leave it for fear of it being scavenged on the street by cats and dogs, as seen in previous circulated scenes from within the Strip.
The victims of the Israeli aggression on Gaza
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Friday that the Israeli occupation committed 10 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 104 martyrs and 160 injuries in the past 24 hours.
The ministry statement added that some of the victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, with the occupation preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
The death toll from the aggression on the 140th day of the war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip rose to 29,514 martyrs and 69,616 injuries since October 7th of last year.
