‘Another terrifying night’ in Gaza Strip as Israeli strike kills 5 people

From Hind Khoudary:

It was another terrifying night. Around 2am, two huge explosions shook the Al Haid roundabout. We later learned that the Israeli army targeted a building with two explosive drones, killing at least three women, a child and a young man.

These Palestinians were sleeping in their houses when they were killed. The civil defence teams took hours to put out the fire and retrieve the bodies of those killed in the neighborhood.

The whole neighborhood was shaken by this massive attack. Everyone was terrified by the explosion and the sound of ambulances – by the screams and the sound of glass shattering.

This is not the first ceasefire violation, or the first attack, in the past 24 hours. Another Palestinian was injured in Israeli attacks, alongside artillery shelling reported in northern and central areas of the Gaza Strip.

According to doctors, it is very, very hard to save the lives of those who are injured, because Israel continues to restrict medical supplies and instruments. A lot of people are queuing to leave the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing.

Palestinians fear continued escalations as genocide in Gaza marks third year

Shadi Shamia, Gaza.

Medical teams are working under great strain to treat the wounded and save their lives from Israeli raids. But it appears the situation in the hospitals is still deteriorating amid this severe shortage of medicines and supplies, and a fuel and oil crisis that has also begun to surface, with a number of generators stopping inside the strip’s hospitals, which are running on a few small generators.

Israeli drones of all kinds are flying over the Gaza Strip at very low altitudes, and their sound can be heard and they can be seen. This is causing more anxiety among Palestinians about continued Israeli escalation. We are approaching the third anniversary of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far left more than 74,000 dead.

Israeli violations continue, which were supposed to stop under the agreement signed in October last year. Israel continues its violations in the Gaza Strip by targeting civilians, as Israel controls of more than 60 percent of the area of the strip. It continues to target civilians in the narrow Strip where more than a million and a half displaced people are living.

Israel’s strikes in Gaza send message that ‘no one has immunity’

Ahmed al-Tanani, a Palestinian researcher and political writer, has said that civilian deaths in Israeli strikes on Gaza are not “collateral damage” but part of a deliberate message to Palestinians.

“I don’t believe they are collateral damage, even by the occupation’s own reckoning,” he said. “The occupation knows exactly the extent of the harm caused in every bombardment.”

He said Israel wants Gaza’s residents to understand that “no one has immunity in the Strip”.

“As long as you are a living Palestinian in the Strip, you are a target on the bank of targets,” he said.

Al-Tanani accused Israel of identifying victims after they are killed and then linking them to armed factions. “We saw this with journalists, we saw it with writers,” he said. He added that Israel’s message to Palestinians is that they have no path, “except to look for the option of leaving the Gaza Strip, or to receive missiles”.

".. are not “collateral damage” but part of a deliberate message to Palestinians."

So, it is intentional damage.
