Gaza in total darkness; the Zionist entity attacks more than 140 sites across the city.
Internet has been cut off across all of Gaza, while the Zionist entity carried out airstrikes on 140 sites in Gaza City. Global condemnations of Israel’s crimes are among the most notable developments on the 712th day of the war.
According to the news site Sedaye Sama, on the 712th day of the genocidal war, the Zionist occupation army launched extensive ground and air attacks on Gaza City, targeting more than 140 sites, including schools, neighborhoods, and camps. Residents of the Gaza Strip spent the entire day under bombardment from warplanes, helicopters, and the occupier’s artillery.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 59 Palestinians were martyred and 386 injured in the past 24 hours alone. Since the resumption of the aggression on March 18, over 12,400 people have been martyred. In total, since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, nearly 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, and the number of wounded has surpassed 165,000.
The ministry added that a large number of bodies remain under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to reach them. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported a complete internet blackout across Gaza, worsening the humanitarian situation and hindering relief and media operations.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft struck displaced persons’ tents in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, previously declared a safe zone, killing five civilians and injuring several others.
Simultaneously, Israeli sources reported that a missile fired from Yemen toward the occupied Palestinian territories was intercepted. The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized Arab and Islamic leaders for their inaction regarding the occupier’s crimes and affirmed that Yemen will stand with Gaza until the end.
International condemnations continued as well. Qatar described the ground assault on Gaza as genocide and a blatant violation of international law. Brazil also condemned the occupation’s aggression, emphasizing the need to immediately halt the attacks and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Similarly, King Felipe VI of Spain described the humanitarian suffering in Gaza as indescribable and unbearable, while Irish President Michael D. Higgins called for Israel and its allies to be expelled from the United Nations, stressing that it is time to sever economic ties with the perpetrators of these crimes.
Meanwhile, The Economist reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s patience regarding the war on Gaza is running thin. Despite warnings that eliminating Hamas could take years, Netanyahu is reportedly attempting to convince Trump that the attack on Gaza City could deliver a decisive blow to the movement.
