Al-Rashid Street Massacre - Gaza: Genocide in its most brutal "Israeli" form
What happened on Al-Rashid Street, northwest of the Gaza Strip, on Sunday, in which unarmed aid recipients were lured and then executed in a bloody and crude manner, as much as it reflects the reality of the extent of the Israeli entity's barbarity , brutality and its persistence in the massacres of the crime of extermination; it also reflects, at the same time, the complicity of the entire world, which remains silent and resorts to (theatrical) talk when necessary, in the face of the repetition of these massacres on a daily basis throughout the besieged Gaza Strip.
This complicity makes the world and the Western world in particular, led by European , North American countries, the Arab and Islamic regimes cannot be bypassed here, as all of them, in the court of conscience and history, are de facto partners in the Israeli enemy's massacres and crimes in Palestine, especially its massacres against the starving people waiting for aid.
In all parts of the world, the murderer is prosecuted, or at least remains threatened with prosecution; except for the Israeli enemy army, which practices daily killing for the sake of killing, in the context of the ongoing crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip; a crime that is repeated daily, and every day with a more brutal criminal act, for more than 21 months; in full view and hearing of the whole world; yet the world has not dared to stand in respect for its cultural , intellectual heritage and its civilised human history at the expense of the consideration it places on the balance of power.
This is an indication of an unprecedented crisis of human conscience; a crisis clearly revealed by the massacres in the Gaza Strip. Indeed, these massacres have put all the values of human civilisation to the test; they represent a test of all human values; on this test, and in this test so far, it can be said: Humanity is naked, and it stands powerless to say to the criminal duo in Gaza ("Israel" and the United States): Stop!
Today, Sunday, more than seventy starving aid recipients were martyred; they were executed; after they were lured to the (trap) with their hands raised, and there they were hunted in cold blood with live bullets; dozens were killed and injured, in a massacre that is repeated daily in the Gaza Strip; the guilty parties here are those in charge of the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, run by the United States , the Israeli entity, the world stands behind it with its silence and complicity in the crimes of the entity's army.
The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights, based in Geneva, considered that luring starving civilians and then executing them reveals a brutal pattern of genocide committed by "Israel".
The Observatory said in a statement that the occupation army committed one of the most heinous massacres against starving civilians after ordering them to come forward, raise their hands and then open fire on them directly.
"We documented that the occupation army opened fire on the civilians as they approached the aid trucks in a deliberate killing crime that is not justified by any military consideration and reflects an unprecedented level of brutality," it added.
The government media office in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that the number of aid victims among the starving population has risen to 995 martyrs, 6,011 injured and 45 missing.
In a statement, he said that these victims were martyred, injured and missing by the Israeli enemy forces while trying to obtain food from the "death traps" while waiting to receive aid since 27 May 2025 until today.
In this regard, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) considered the massacre committed by the terrorist Zionist enemy army against starving civilians at the aid distribution point near the "Zikim" area in the northern Gaza Strip, on Sunday, as a continuation of the brutal crime of extermination.
Hamas said in a statement that the Zionist enemy army uses aid and starvation to lure, kill and abuse innocent people.
It added: "What is happening in the Gaza Strip is a major crime in which killing, starvation and thirst are used as a tool for ethnic cleansing and genocide, which calls on the world to act immediately to put an end to this humanitarian tragedy that the Zionist enemy government, led by the war criminal Netanyahu, is deepening."
It also asked: "How can the world remain silent about the death of more than seventy children due to malnutrition, while the majority of the population of the Gaza Strip is subjected to mass death as a result of the siege and the declared policy of starvation imposed by the Zionist enemy on the Gaza Strip for 140 days?"
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) condemned in the strongest terms the hideous massacre committed by the Israeli enemy on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, which killed and wounded dozens of people who were waiting for humanitarian aid in the Sudanese areas northwest of Gaza, and around the so-called "American aid centres" south of Khan Younis, which turned into "death traps".
It stressed that the heinous massacre committed by the Israeli enemy army on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, which killed more than 70 martyrs and wounded dozens of unarmed civilians, who were waiting for humanitarian aid, is a confirmation of the criminal nature of the Zionist enemy.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) affirmed that the brutal massacre committed by the Zionist enemy against dozens of Palestinian citizens in the northern Gaza Strip today, Sunday, represents a new pattern of using hunger as a tool in the escalating extermination operations against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Front explained that the massacre targeted a large number of citizens in the north-west of the Gaza Strip, who had gathered in search of food and waiting for the arrival of any aid, before the Zionist enemy forced them to enter one of its military presence points with their hands raised, then opened fire on them, killing and wounding dozens, while the fate of many of them is still unknown.
On Sunday, the Resistance Committees in Palestine called for "a global popular uprising, demonstrations and marches that sweep the streets and city centres in the capitals of the whole world to raise the voice loudly in the face of the escalating Zionist Nazism against the Palestinian people who are being annihilated , crushed by bombardment and starvation."
In a press statement, it] said that the criminal Zionist enemy continues to commit massacres and massacres and target the Palestinian people waiting for aid in a deliberate and calculated manner, which led to the death of dozens of innocent and starving people, considering this "a continuation of the comprehensive war of extermination against our Palestinian people with all its components."
She added: The US aid institution has turned into ambushes, traps and traps to kill, slaughter and engineer the policy of starvation, which has reached its highest levels, and famine has hit all corners, joints and aspects of the Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, the Palestinian Ahrar Movement blamed the US administration and the European Union for all the war crimes and starvation of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
The movement said in a statement, "Once again, the Zionist Nazi enemy continues to target the starving people of our people waiting for humanitarian aid in the Zakim area in the northern Gaza Strip, where more than sixty martyrs and dozens of wounded have been killed in this massacre and heinous crime, amid a suspicious international silence about the Zionist enemy's continuous crimes and the crime of genocide and starvation."
The International Committee to Support the Rights of the Palestinian People (Hashd) said on Sunday that the Israeli enemy authorities are using famine as a weapon as part of the "total war of extermination" against the population of the Gaza Strip, which has entered its second year amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
In a statement quoted by Shihab Agency, the head of the Commission, Dr Salah Abdel Ati, said that the occupation continues to implement systematic policies aimed at killing civilians, destroying infrastructure, and weakening Palestinian institutions in an attempt to weaken the resistance and facilitate the implementation of its plans to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the Civil Defence in the Gaza Strip, said in a statement, "I am Mahmoud Basal, a Palestinian citizen, a free human being, and for days I have been surviving on crumbs of food, like more than two million citizens, and due to the lack of availability of basic food in the Gaza Strip, I announced my complete hunger strike starting today, Sunday 20 July 2025, in protest against the catastrophic famine hitting Gaza, and in solidarity with more than two million people left to face death by starvation in a shameful global silence.
He continued: "What is happening in Gaza is not just a crisis, but a documented crime committed against an entire people. Children are dying of hunger and aid is being denied for flimsy political reasons.
"The use of starvation as a weapon of war is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a breach of all the principles that humanity claims to uphold."

Mass rallies in Al-Dhale' affirm solidarity with Gaza & rejection of treacherous deals
Dhale' – Saba: Massive rallies were held on Friday across the districts of Damt, Al-Hasha, Qa'atabah, and Juban in Al-Dhale' province under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine... Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals.' Participants in the marches—led in Damt by the Acting Governor Abdul Latif Al-Shaghadri and Mobilization Official Ahmed Al-Murani—chanted slogans of mobilization and readiness to confront the forces of tyranny. They also raised powerful chants condemning the genocidal crimes, starvation tactics, and siege imposed by the American-Zionist enemy on their brothers in Gaza, amid disgraceful Arab, Islamic, and global silence. The demonstrators reaffirmed their unwavering stance against the genocide and starvation of the people of Gaza, pledged continued support for the Palestinian people and their courageous resistance. They also strongly condemned the shameful Arab and Islamic silence in the face of the Zionist entity's crimes, including genocide, starvation, deprivation of food, medicine, and water. They expressed their full alignment with the revolutionary leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in all efforts aimed at reinforcing Yemen's principled position in defending the Palestinian cause. The demonstrators announced their full support for the fourth phase of escalation announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces. They reaffirmed their absolute trust in and mandate to Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, expressing full readiness to carry out any measures required to confront the Zionist-American enemy until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted—no matter the sacrifices. A statement issued at the rallies declared that the American- and Western-backed Zionist crimes in Gaza—particularly the deaths from starvation—have reached unprecedented levels, documented in sound and image. This, the statement said, places humanity under a dire test: a test of conscience for the world, of faith and humanity for the Islamic Ummah, and an even more critical test of humanity, faith, and Arab brotherhood for the Arab world. The statement emphasized that no one is exempt—neither peoples, regimes, parties, nor movements—regardless of time. The results of this test, it said, will be recorded by God in the Book of Deeds, remembered in the annals of history, judged by God in this life and the hereafter. It reiterated that the Yemeni people, both officially and popularly, militarily and civilly, remain firmly committed to their advanced position in support of Palestine and will not back down. Yemen refuses to be counted among the indifferent or disgraced, but rather seeks to be recorded—before God , humankind—as holding a faithful, humane, and fraternal position. The statement praised the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to activate the fourth escalation phase, describing it as an expression of the pain and rage felt in the hearts of the people. It urged the Mujahideen of the Armed Forces to carry out operations against any company belonging to inhumane states collaborating with the most heinous criminals of this era. It also saluted the continuation of the Palestinian resistance operations in Gaza despite the dire conditions, stating that those efforts—alongside the actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine initiative—are the only true sources of hope, after God, for changing the current reality in Gaza. The statement stressed that diplomatic niceties, hollow statements, and deceptive gestures lacking genuine action have never rescued the oppressed, fed the hungry, or quenched the thirsty. Even the smallest military efforts, it noted, when made sincerely, are accompanied by God's promise of victory and warning of humiliation and defeat for the aggressors. It also warned those who, driven by betrayal and subservience, seek to sow chaos and sedition in order to weaken Yemen's stance against the American and Israeli enemies and undermine support for the Palestinian people. Such actions, it said, aim to destroy the most honorable and noble stance Yemen holds for Gaza, Palestine, and Al-Aqsa. The statement declared that Yemen has sacrificed thousands of martyrs and endured immense suffering, pain, sieges, and military alliances for its stance in support of Palestine—and is ready to sacrifice even more. Those who believe they can reverse this legacy of pride and drag Yemen back into humiliation, betrayal, and submission are only hastening their own destruction and condemning themselves to the lowest depths of Hell. Finally, the statement affirmed that the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces are at the highest level of readiness to confront any conspiracy, aggression, or betrayal. It called on all—officials and citizens alike—to remain vigilant, mobilized, proactive, relying on God for strength and victory. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

265 Mass rallies held in Al-Hodeidah affirming solidarity with Gaza & rejection of deceptive & treacherous deals
Hodeidah – Saba: Al-Hodeidah province witnessed 265 mass rallies on Friday across its various districts under the slogan 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine… Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals,' reaffirming the Yemeni people's unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian cause and opposition to Zionist aggression. The rallies, led in Al-Hodeidah city by Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Al-Qahim, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, and deputy governors Mohammed Halisy and Ali Kubari, resounded with chants of anger against the Israeli occupation. Participants condemned the brutal massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of Gaza and called for a sweeping Arab and Islamic response that breaks the silence and regional complicity with the Zionist regime. Protesters carried banners denouncing Arab cooperation with the enemy, including the opening of airspace to Israeli warplanes, fuel provision, and vast financial support to the U.S.—a key backer of Israel. They affirmed that Arab inaction stems from official decisions by normalization regimes that have prioritized submission to the enemy over the blood of children and women in Gaza. The people of the Red Sea coast denounced ongoing economic and diplomatic ties with the Israeli entity while Gaza's children suffer from hunger and siege. They warned of suspicious deals aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause under false pretenses. The rallies condemned the Palestinian Authority's collusion with the occupation, accusing it of aiding in the persecution of resistance fighters and the arrest of freedom-seekers—actions that enable the enemy to shed Palestinian blood with impunity. The crowds in Al-Hodeidah expressed strong support for the speech of the Revolution Leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, especially his clear warning to the nation about the consequences of complicity with the enemy. They emphasized that inaction will not exempt anyone from divine or historical accountability. They praised the explicit call for jihad in the path of God, viewing it as the only route to repel danger and reject humiliation and submission, affirming that peace cannot be achieved through silence, but through mobilization and confrontation. The demonstrations stressed the need for the Ummah to break free from spiritual blindness, embrace awareness and practical action, and for mosques, universities, and media outlets to play a mobilizing role proportionate to the magnitude of the threat facing Palestine. They saluted the steadfastness of the people and fighters of Gaza, viewing them as a unique model of resilience and sacrifice in the path of God. Protesters called for support of this model—not its distortion—and warned of the consequences of leaving it alone to face a rabid global aggression. Participants insisted that peoples must break out of the cycle of helplessness and bear the heavy responsibility of pressuring regimes, asserting that the time for silence and evasion has passed, and that every free voice is an asset to Palestine. A statement issued by the rallies reaffirmed the Yemeni people's unwavering and active support for the Palestinian cause and total rejection of any retreat or complacency in supporting the oppressed people of Palestine—particularly amid the massacres and famine in Gaza as a result of Zionist aggression backed by the U.S. and the West. It stressed that the genocidal crimes in Gaza, especially death by starvation in front of cameras, are a critical test of the world's humanity, particularly that of the Arab and Islamic nations. The statement urged recognition of the gravity of this stage, whose outcomes will be recorded in the books of deeds, etched in generational memory, judged both in this world and the hereafter. The statement further affirmed that the Yemeni people—its leadership and citizens, military and civilian—will continue advancing their principled stance on Palestine, with trust in God and His promise. They will never be among the negligent, but rather will demonstrate a profound spiritual, humanitarian, and brotherly position before God and history, seeking salvation from punishment , disgrace, and striving for reward in both worlds. The statement welcomed the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of entering the fourth stage of military escalation, describing it as a practical embodiment of the Yemeni people's pain and outrage at what is happening in Gaza. It called for the uncompromising implementation of measures against any company from nations that have lost their humanity and continue dealings with the Zionist entity. It also praised the heroic and ongoing operations of resistance factions in Gaza, carried out under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. The statement affirmed that such operations—alongside the strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine efforts—are the only path, after God, capable of shifting the equation on the ground in Gaza, unlike empty statements and complicit stances. It stressed that even modest military efforts, when compared to the Zionist killing machine supported by global tyrants, remain part of God's inevitable promise of victory and His assured punishment for the oppressors. Finally, the statement warned all agents of betrayal against attempting to stir unrest or chaos within Yemen under any pretext, deeming such acts direct attacks on the honorable stance Yemen has taken toward Palestine, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa—built upon great sacrifices, martyrdom, and endurance through siege, conspiracies, and military coalitions. The statement concluded by urging all official and popular components to maintain high vigilance, full mobilization, and continued effort to safeguard Yemen's noble position, seeing it as the people's most valuable asset in this life and their means of salvation in the hereafter.
