599 Days of Devastation: Israeli Airstrikes Intensify in Gaza
As the Israeli war on Gaza enters its 599th day, Israeli occupation forces have ramped up their military campaign, launching dozens of airstrikes across the densely populated enclave. The resurgence of hostilities—71 days after a broken ceasefire—has drawn condemnation from rights groups, while the international community remains largely paralyzed in its response.

With Israel's blockade restricting food aid since early March, humanitarian agencies warn that famine is tightening its grip on the region's 2.3 million residents. Israeli artillery also shelled eastern Gaza City and the town of Al-Qarara, compounding fears among civilians who say nowhere feels safe. Residents continue to suffer without basic necessities, while hospitals struggle under the weight of mounting injuries and shortages of medicine. 'Israel' resumed its aggression on Gaza on March 18, after violating the ceasefire agreement. Its airstrikes since then have killed more than 3,800 people and injured nearly 11,000, according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

New Massacres as ‘Israel' Announces Widening of Genocide with ‘Gideon's Wagons' Assault
Gaza woke to devastating scenes Saturday as Israeli bombardments intensified across the Strip, claiming more than 120 Palestinian lives and wounding nearly 200 others since Friday morning. The Israeli occupation military has officially announced a major escalation, launching what it calls 'Operation Gideon's Chariots.' At least 45 Palestinian children have been killed over the past two days in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to UNICEF, amid ongoing and relentless — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) May 17, 2025 In the northern Gaza Strip, three Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces targeted a house in Tel al-Zaatar area, with victims rushed to the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia. Additional casualties were reported near Andalusia Tower in northwest Gaza City, with one person in critical condition at Shifa Medical Complex.

Simultaneously, Palestinians in northern Gaza face forced displacement from Jabalia and Beit Lahia toward western Gaza City amid heavy bombardment. The Israeli occupation military stated it has begun 'extensive strikes' to 'achieve all war objectives,' including prisoner release and Hamas dismantlement. Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported on May 5 that the operation's ultimate goal is complete occupation of Gaza. Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip are intensifying, amid massive destruction and a continuous rise in civilian casualties. — Eye on Palestine (@EyeonPalestine) May 16, 2025 Israeli media indicated the offensive was deliberately timed to follow US President Trump's regional visit, which concluded without any new ceasefire agreement. The operation, approved by Israel's Security Cabinet in early May, involved mobilizing tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The name 'Merkavot Gideon' (Gideon's Wagons) carries significant historical connotations, recalling a 1948 Nakba operation that expelled Palestinians from Beit Shean. According to Israeli sources, the current operation could last months and includes plans to evacuate entire populations from combat zones to southern Gaza, with the military maintaining control of captured areas. According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, this operation, which is likely to last several months, includes 'the complete evacuation of the entire population of Gaza from combat zones, including northern Gaza, to areas in the southern Gaza Strip,' where 'the army will remain in any area it occupies.' During Trump's three-day tour, which he departed from the UAE on the fourth day, the Israeli occupation army killed more than 378 Palestinians. This toll is nearly four times the number of victims in the four days preceding the tour, which totaled nearly 100, according to data compiled by an Anadolu Agency correspondent based on data from the Gaza Ministry of Health. With full American support, 'Israel' has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving approximately 173,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

Four Palestinian men were killed early Thursday after Israeli occupation forces surrounded a home in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank. According to local sources, Israeli soldiers fired Energa anti-tank grenades at the house, killing those inside. The troops then seized the bodies and withdrew.

Armed resistance fighters reportedly opened fire on advancing soldiers near the campus, and shouting was heard among them at the scene. Additional reinforcements were dispatched from military outposts in Khirbet Ibziq, the Al-Hamra checkpoint, the Tayasir checkpoint, and the Atouf military gate after an Israeli special unit infiltrated the area surrounding the university. The incursion also involved the detention and mistreatment of several civilians. During the same military campaign, Israeli occupation forces arrested three young men in Tubas. Troops stormed the city and simultaneously raided Tammun, where they stationed themselves at the southern entrance and blew up a café before retreating. After besieging and killing four Palestinians and confiscating their bodies, an Israeli army bulldozer embarks on tearing down the house where the four were killed by Israeli forces in the town of Tammoun, north of the occupied West Bank. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) May 15, 2025 Amid escalating violence, the Palestinian Information Center 'Ma'ta' documented 12 resistance operations over the past 48 hours. These included the detonation of explosive devices, confrontations with settlers, and armed clashes with Israeli forces. Israeli occupation aggression against Jenin and its refugee camp has entered its 115th consecutive day, marked by large-scale demolition and infrastructure destruction, as the Israeli enemy continues attempts to alter the camp's layout under a full siege that prevents entry and exit. This ongoing assault coincides with the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, during which Israel has displaced approximately 22,000 residents of Jenin camp to nearly 39 displacement sites across the Jenin governorate. The Israeli occupation military remains heavily deployed around the camp, where gunfire has been heard since early morning. On Wednesday, soldiers reportedly set fire to a home. Jenin's municipality estimates that over 600 homes were completely destroyed, while many others suffer severe damage and are now uninhabitable. Neighboring villages face daily incursions and constant military movement, while entire neighborhoods—particularly the eastern district and Al-Hadaf—report significant damage to infrastructure and private property. The Israeli assault has forced the displacement of over 22,000 residents, with preliminary economic losses estimated at more than $300 million due to the widespread destruction of shops, streets, and public facilities. Since the beginning of the offensive on January 21, 40 Palestinians have been killed in Jenin, with dozens more injured or arrested, as live fire continues to be used within the camp. As the Israeli offensive on Jenin and its refugee camp enters its 115th day, the assault on Tulkarem and its surrounding camps persists, now entering its 109th consecutive day, with ongoing destruction and forced displacement in both Tulkarm city and the Nur Shams refugee camp. This morning, demolition operations continued around Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque, with reports indicating that 20 homes were destroyed in the past week. Several homes that had been forcibly evacuated were also blown up. Areas such as Al-Manshiya, Al-Masakh, Al-Jami'a, Al-I'da, and Al-Shuhada are targeted as part of a broader plan to demolish over 100 homes in the two camps. Israeli occupation forces continue their raids, blocking off city streets with military vehicles, creating major disruptions. In northern Tulkarem, troops seized residential buildings, converting them into military posts after evicting the residents. The ongoing assault has resulted in 13 Palestinian deaths, including a child and two women (one pregnant), with dozens more injured or detained. The destruction of homes, businesses, and infrastructure continues unabated. More than 4,200 families, or over 25,000 people, have been displaced, while over 400 homes have been completely destroyed and 2,500 others damaged. The camps are nearly empty as Israeli forces seal off their entrances.

The UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs warned bluntly: 'People are dying in Gaza, and we are ready to intensify aid as soon as the blockade is lifted.' OCHA reports that 70% of Gaza's population now finds themselves in military zones, under evacuation orders, or both. UNICEF has condemned Israel's aid distribution plan, with spokesman James Elder stating it 'violates basic humanitarian principles' by requiring facial recognition technology for aid delivery.
