Gaza Civil Defense: 70 Martyred in strikes on 25 homes, five civilian gatherings
The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip confirmed on Tuesday evening that 70 citizens have been martyred in Gaza City since dawn following direct strikes on more than 25 homes, in addition to five gatherings of civilians.
Spokesman for the General Directorate of Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, stated that the attacks led to the martyrdom of approximately 70 people, including 11 who were gathered awaiting aid, 12 children, and 14 women, in addition to more than 200 injured—some of them in critical condition.
He noted that rescue teams are still working to save and recover individuals from the Abu Samra family's home, which was targeted this afternoon on Kashko Street in the Zeitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Over 30 citizens are believed to still be under the rubble of the six-story targeted building.
Basal added that more than 25 people, both alive and martyred, remain trapped under the rubble of a house belonging to the Dahdar family near Al-Joulani Mosque in the Tuffah neighborhood, also east of Gaza City, after the home was struck this afternoon by the Zionist occupation forces.
He confirmed that rescue teams have not been able to reach the area due to repeated Israeli bombardments.
The Zionist enemy continues its brutal assault on civilians in Gaza for the 634th consecutive day—carrying out some of the most horrific massacres of the modern era in full view of a world that remains silent and complicit in the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Palestinian detainee suffers mobility impairment due to torture in Israeli enemy prison
Ramallah – Saba: The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) reported on Wednesday that 19-year-old administrative detainee Mohammed Naseem Abu al-Ezz from Jericho, arrested last August, has lost his ability to move due to repeated severe torture and beatings in Israel's "Naqab Desert" prison. According to a PPS statement, Abu al-Ezz's health rapidly deteriorated from continuous abuse, culminating in him being unable to meet his basic needs. This necessitated his transfer to Soroka Hospital, where he underwent delicate back surgery. He was later moved to "Ramla Prison Clinic," and now suffers from mobility impairment in the lower half of his body. The PPS emphasized that Abu al-Ezz had no prior health issues before his arrest, making him "a new victim of the systematic torture crimes" against prisoners in Israeli jails. The PPS affirmed that torture has been the primary cause of death for dozens of detainees in Israeli prisons since the start of what it calls the "genocide crime."

PM launches school bag project for children of martyrs, missing persons
Sana'a - Saba: Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi on Wednesday launched the school bag project for the children of martyrs and missing persons in the capital Sana'a and various governorates. This annual initiative is implemented by the General Authority for the Care of Martyrs' Families. During the inauguration, the Prime Minister emphasized that this project is a yearly commitment and duty to those who sacrificed their lives defending the nation's land, honor, and sovereignty. He stated, "Today, we live in an atmosphere of freedom and dignity thanks to the sacrifices of the righteous martyrs who watered the soil of the homeland with their blood in defense of its security, sovereignty, and independence." Al-Rahawi highlighted that the martyrs' sacrifices have brought dignity, honor, stability, and freedom. He affirmed that, thanks to the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi and the Supreme Political Council, Yemen is moving "from victory to victory" and fulfilling its brotherly, religious, and moral duty to support the oppressed in Gaza. The Prime Minister asserted that threats from the Zionist enemy will only strengthen Yemen's resolve to support its brethren in Gaza, calling it an irreversible commitment. He added that the Yemeni people, armed forces, and security are at a high state of readiness to defend the nation, its freedom, and its cause, regardless of the arrogance of the American and European-backed Zionist enemy. Al-Rahawi also acknowledged the steadfastness of Palestinian resistance fighters for over 630 days against immense NATO-backed firepower, noting their success in destroying enemy vehicles and killing thousands of soldiers since Operation al-Aqsa Flood. He concluded by reaffirming the Government of Change and Construction's increased attention and care for the families of martyrs and missing persons, expressing confidence that their children will excel in knowledge and science, just as their parents excelled in confronting enemies. He wished the Authority for the Care of Martyrs' Families continued success in their endeavors. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

Euro-Mediterranean HR monitor: 85% of Gaza Strip under Israeli control
Geneva – Saba: The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor accused Israeli entity on Wednesday of continuing to commit the crime of forced displacement against the population of the Gaza Strip, as part of a declared and systematic policy aimed at emptying the Strip of its indigenous population. The monitor said in a statement that Israeli entity is using multiple tools to achieve this goal, including widespread bombing, bulldozing, starvation, destruction of infrastructure, forced expulsion by military force, and forced eviction orders. It stated that Israeli entity has transformed most of the Gaza Strip into devastated and uninhabitable lands, forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to forcibly regroup in a small area of no more than 15% of the Strip's area, in preparation for mass displacement outside Gaza. This is a direct extension of the genocide committed against Palestinians for nearly 21 months, according to Quds Press Agency. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor revealed that between June 28 and 30, Israeli forces issued three new military evacuation orders covering large areas east and south of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, displacing tens of thousands of civilians without any safe haven or possibility of return. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor noted that these orders bring the number of evacuation orders issued by Israel since March 18, the date on which it reneged on the temporary ceasefire agreement, to 51. Some are new orders, others are renewals of previous orders, amid ongoing military escalation. It explained that more than 85% of the Gaza Strip is now under direct military control or subject to forced displacement orders, effectively systematically erasing the Palestinian presence on the ground and a blatant attempt to effect permanent demographic change. The Observatory reported that displacement orders since last March have displaced at least one million Palestinians, many of whom were forced to flee to destroyed or open areas or to the streets, amid a lack of food, water, and services, and amidst the spread of disease, under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. The Observatory noted that Israeli enemy forces are not content with expelling residents, but are systematically destroying the neighborhoods they are displacing through aerial bombardment, explosive robot bombing, and demolition and bulldozing, in one of the largest campaigns of urban and residential destruction in modern times. It confirmed that Israeli bombardment even targets areas to which civilians have been forced to flee, including tents, schools, and shelters. On Tuesday, July 1, five civilians, including a woman and two children, were killed when their tents were targeted in al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, despite it being one of the areas to which the enemy had previously directed displaced persons. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 57,012 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 134,592 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
