Israeli aggression in Gaza, Lebanon, 92 including mayor martyred
Israeli blockade in northern Gaza has entered the 23th day
Gaza/Beirut: Israel's brutal attacks continue in Gaza and Lebanon and 65 Palestinians were martyred and 140 injured in the Zionist attacks in Gaza during 24 hours, while at least 27 people, including the mayor, were killed and more than 50 were injured in South Lebanon.
According to Al Jazeera's report, the Israeli blockade in northern Gaza has entered the 23th day.
The Department of Civil Defense said that due to the blockade of the Jabalia refugee camp, dozens of bodies buried under the rubble of the destroyed buildings and in the streets could not be picked up. It should be noted that as a result of the 13-day Israeli blockade, more than 200,000 Palestinians are forced to live without food, water and medicine.
It is pertinent to note that since October 7, 2023, more than 43,000 Palestinians have been martyred in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, including 16,765 children, while nearly 100,000 people are injured and more than 10,000 are missing.
In the first meeting of the European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council, European and Gulf countries demanded a ceasefire from Israel in Gaza and Lebanon.
According to Al Jazeera, Lebanon's Ministry of Health says that 27 people including the mayor were martyred and more than 185 were injured in Israeli attacks across the country during 24 hours.
This is the biggest loss of life in the recent Israeli offensive against Lebanon, in which the Israeli air force also targeted the municipal headquarters building in the provincial capital of Nabatia.
According to the Reuters news agency, the Lebanese authorities have condemned the incident and said that this attack is proof that Israel has turned its campaign against Hezbollah towards the Lebanese state.
Lebanon's Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Makati said that the municipal council was meeting to rehabilitate and provide facilities to the displaced people as a result of the Israeli attacks, which the Israelis have deliberately targeted.
On the other hand, the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon said that the Israeli forces have once again targeted its checkpoints, as a result of which a watch tower has been damaged.
While, Hezbollah continues to launch rocket attacks on Israel. It said on Telegram that it had targeted the Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona with rockets. Israeli media confirmed the rocket attacks and said that about 10 rockets were seen heading towards the city.
Hezbollah has also claimed that its fighters have targeted an Israeli tank on the Lebanon Heights with an anti-tank missile, causing the tank to catch fire and kill and injure its crew. As a result of the ground advance, fierce clashes continue between the Zionist Army and Hezbollah.
Notably, a year after the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Zionist army launched ground and air attacks on Lebanon last month to eliminate Hezbollah, as a result of which several senior leaders, including the head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, were martyred.
