Al-Qassam targets enemy military bulldozer eastern Gaza city
Gaza – Saba: Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades announced on Wednesday that it had targeted an Israeli enemy military bulldozer east of Gaza City. In a statement, al-Qassam Brigades said: "We targeted a D9 military bulldozer with a tandem missile yesterday evening, Tuesday, in the vicinity of the station park east of the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City." This comes in the context of the Palestinian resistance factions' response to the genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the people of the Gaza Strip, with American support, since October 7, 2023. This crime includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Gaza Gov't Media condemns Israeli act leaving 20 civilians killed
Gaza - Saba: The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip condemned the criminal behavior of the Zionist enemy forces, which led, at dawn on Wednesday, to the martyrdom of 20 Palestinians and the injury of dozens more, after an aid truck overturned on a group of Palestinians waiting for aid in the central Gaza Strip after the enemy forced it to take an unsafe road. The office said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba): "We condemn in the strongest terms this deliberate criminal policy practiced by the Israeli enemy forces, which amounts to a full-fledged crime of genocide under international humanitarian law." It added: "In light of the unprecedented humanitarian deterioration witnessed in the Gaza Strip, the "Israeli" enemy continues to commit the crime of mass starvation against more than 2.4 million people, through the continued closure of crossings and the prevention of the entry of humanitarian aid and essential supplies, as part of a systematic policy aimed at breaking the steadfastness of our people and dismantling their social fabric. The Office continued: "Despite the limited permission given to the entry of some trucks recently, the enemy deliberately prevents these trucks from being secured and prevents their access to those who deserve them. Rather, it forces drivers to take routes crowded with hungry civilians who have been waiting for weeks for the most basic necessities of life. This leads to attacks on these trucks and the confiscation of their contents, in a scene deliberately and deliberately created by the Israeli enemy, under what has become known as "engineering starvation and chaos." The "government media" pointed out that this deliberate criminal behavior has resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of civilians over the past months. The latest bloody chapter occurred this morning, when 20 martyrs were killed and dozens injured in the Central Governorate while trying to reach food aid amid catastrophic conditions and chaos deliberately created by the enemy authorities. He explained that a truck carrying food overturned on the starving after the Zionist enemy forced it to enter through unsafe roads that had previously been bombed and were not suitable for passage. This reveals the enemy's deliberate targeting of civilians with danger and murder as part of its "engineering of chaos and starvation." The office held the Israeli enemy and the countries involved in this system, led by the United States of America, fully responsible for the worsening humanitarian catastrophe and for the blood of innocents who fall daily as a result of hunger and the deliberate mismanagement imposed by the enemy forces. It called on the international community, the United Nations, and humanitarian and human rights organizations to intervene urgently to stop this crime, impose the full, safe, and sustainable opening of the crossings, and ensure the flow of food, medical, and life-saving aid without obstacles or political conditions. It emphasized that the situation in the Gaza Strip has crossed all red lines, and that the ongoing systematic crime is a failure to respond and a direct or indirect complicity in deepening the crime through silence, complicity, or disregard.
