"Israel's Unrelenting Assault on Gaza Continues Despite Ceasefire"
Two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, sparking outrage as Israel presses its genocidal war, violating daily the "ceasefire" it has entered into since October 10.
The bodies of those killed in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya were transported to al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City. The attacks come amid multiple clashes across the coastal enclave, with Israeli forces continuing to traumatisize Palestinians despite a fragile ceasefire.
In Khan Younis, southern Gaza's capital, Israel struck a Palestinian home, claiming it was in response to its soldiers being shot near the "yellow line". However, witnesses disputed this account, saying the house was located opposite a school sheltering displaced people. The attack left residents shaken, with one describing the scene as "traumatizing".
The US-brokered ceasefire deal has allowed for limited movement at the Rafah crossing, but Israeli authorities have kept it shut for most of the war and only partially reopened on Monday, allowing a mere trickle of people to travel.
Only a few dozen people have been allowed to enter and leave Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, making it difficult for those stranded outside to return. The Red Crescent has warned that there are currently no plans for any movement at the crossing on Friday.
Meanwhile, the pace of medical evacuations has been slower than promised, with only about 30 patients transferred so far this week. Gaza's healthcare system has been devastated by Israel's genocidal war, with 22 hospitals put out of service and 1,700 medical workers killed, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The situation on the ground remains dire, with Palestinians facing harassment and intimidation at the crossing, and limited access to basic necessities like food, water, and medical care. As Israel continues to escalate its assault on Gaza, international pressure is mounting to end the violence and allow for a safe and dignified return of Palestinian refugees.
