Exclusive video and images obtained by Al Jazeera show bodies piled up inside the Shadia Abu Ghazala School in al-Faluja area, west of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
The Israeli army says 10 of its soldiers, including a colonel who commanded a forward base for the Golani infantry brigade, were killed in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed a nonbinding resolution urging a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as the Israeli bombardment continues.
After being displaced from Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, Ihsan Abu Sharkh and his family arrived in the Brazil neighborhood of the southernmost Palestinian city of Rafah, adjacent to the Egyptian border.
After their homes were destroyed in Israeli airstrikes, Abu Sharkh and his family, consisting of his elderly father, wife, their seven children and several other family members, have no other place in the besieged strip where they can seek refuge. The family’s situation is similar to that of tens of thousands of families displaced from northern and central Gaza, forced to move multiple times to escape Israeli bombardment across Gaza until they reach the Egyptian border.
The Abu Sharkh family currently resides in an UNRWA school, where they face harsh living conditions with no access to water, food, medicine, or shelter suitable for humans. Ihsan describes the situation as a “war of starvation.”
The aid that enters the strip is of no help, Abu Sharkh tells Mada Masr. UNRWA provides his family of ten with only one and a half liters of drinking water, and food is scarce. After a weeklong search, he barely managed to obtain a 25 kg bag of flour for US$100.
Abu Sharkh describes the situation of displaced people in shelter schools as a “tragedy” due to overcrowding and power outages, adding that disease is spreading, especially among children. His own children, as well as his brother’s children, have been afflicted by severe gastrointestinal infections.
Amid this catastrophic situation in the shelters, the influx of displaced people from central Gaza and Khan Younis continues as the Occupation military expands its operations and ground incursions toward the south. Residents were forced to move to Mawasi, Tal al-Sultan, and Shabura, which are only a few kilometers away from the Egyptian border.
A few days ago, Tarek Abu Elwan, a resident of Palestinian Rafah, told Mada Masr: “If you climb the wall [the barrier separating Egypt and Gaza] and look over, you will find us at its foot.”
The European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs Joseph Borrell commented on the pattern of Israel’s military operation on Monday and expressed concern over the “extraordinary intensity” of the continuous bombing. “Thousands of people are being pushed against the border with Egypt and all the prospects are really, really bleak in Gaza,” he said.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini warned that “the developments we are witnessing point to an attempt to move Palestinians into Egypt, regardless of whether they stay there or are resettled elsewhere,” in an op-ed published by the Los Angeles Times on December 9.
On the other side of the border, two tribal sources residing in Egyptian Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid, near the Gaza border, stated that the Egyptian authorities have recently completed the construction of a graded sand barrier along the Gaza border, which they began erecting in mid-November.
In 2014, Egypt established a buffer zone in Egyptian Rafah, adjacent to the Gaza border at a depth of 5 kilometers and a length of 13 kilometers. The military forcibly evacuated the entire population of Egyptian Rafah at the time.
When the barrier’s construction was complete in early December, elders from the tribes in North Sinai published appeals, claiming to relay messages from the military leaders, urging tribe members to refrain from venturing within a distance of 4 km near the border, in areas outside the buffer zone. They emphasized that they will not intercede should the military apprehend any individuals found in violation of these instructions.
These instructions were confirmed by another tribal source in Sheikh Zuwayed, stating that the elders of the border villages of Nagaa Shabana, Ajra, Mahdiyya, Berth and Km 17 Salah Eddin have asked residents not to venture near the border in the coming period.
On Monday, the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, launched two rocket attacks on Tel Aviv, resulting in the injury of one person by rocket shrapnel. The Iron Dome, Israel’s US-funded missile defense system, failed to intercept the rockets, which caused some material damage.
In direct conflict zones in the strip, the Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli military force taking cover in a house in Beit Lahia and a number of vehicles and soldiers in Khan Younis, where fighting has intensified in recent days.
The brigades also announced the destruction of 44 Israeli military vehicles, either partially or completely, in the past two days, inflicting “confirmed casualties” on dozens of Israeli soldiers through the use of anti-fortification and anti-personnel shells and engaging them from point-blank range.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced that one of their soldiers was killed on Tuesday along with seven Israeli on Monday, six of whom were officers, bringing the total number of Israeli military casualties to 434, with 109 killed since the start of the ground operations on October 26.
To fortify the Occupation’s operations in Gaza, the Israeli military “dropped 7 tonnes of logistical supplies to hundreds of soldiers from the commando formation in Khan Younis,” the military spokesperson announced on Tuesday, noting that it was the “first airdrop operation since the Second Lebanon War [in 2006].”
In the northern Gaza Strip, sources told Mada Masr on Sunday that the Occupation forces have imposed a siege on Jabalia refugee camp from all directions. They have also separated the Shujaiyya neighborhood east of Gaza City from the Zaytoun neighborhood with military vehicles that advanced via Mansoura street south of the neighborhood. The Occupation forces are attempting to tighten the siege on the neighborhood from the western side, where clashes are taking place between their forces and Palestinian resistance elements in the old town of Gaza city.
In the southern strip, sources said that the Occupation military has advanced from the east of Deir al-Balah toward the northeastern part of Khan Younis, where Occupation vehicles have infiltrated in recent days, adding that the Israeli forces are employing a strategy of slow advancement, imposing a siege, intensive shelling with various weaponry, and using scorched earth tactics.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza stated on Monday that camps and shelters have become breeding grounds for diseases and infections due to a lack of resources, the collapse of the healthcare system, the absence of a sewage system and water scarcity, resulting in approximately 326,000 people contracting infectious diseases and seeking treatment at healthcare centers. Medical teams have been attempting to provide the necessary care, according to a Palestinian Health Ministry statement reviewed by Mada Masr.
The ministry also announced 207 deaths and 450 injuries admitted to hospitals in the past few hours as a result of the Occupation forces’ shelling of residential areas and shelters. This raises the casualties since the beginning of the aggression to 18,412 deaths and 50,100 injuries.
This high number of injuries comes amid the collapse of the healthcare system in the strip, especially in the north. According to the Health Ministry’s statement, 22 hospitals and 46 healthcare centers have been rendered inoperable, among 137 healthcare facilities in the Gaza Strip.
With the Israeli military incursion toward the south and intensified bombardment, especially on Khan Younis and central Gaza, the health situation has become catastrophic. The capacity to treat the injured, arriving at hospitals in large numbers, has been entirely diminished due to the lack of medical resources and supplies, as well as the loss of 300 medical staff and the injury of hundreds more due to the aggression.
Amid the collapse of the healthcare system and the slow mechanism of transferring patients for treatment outside of Gaza through the Rafah crossing, which often sees the death of many in their wait for approvals to exit, the Palestinian Health Ministry has called on medical teams worldwide, especially from the field of orthopedics, to come to the strip.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club and the Commission of Detainees Affairs announced that the Occupation is holding 142 women and girls, including infants, who were arrested from the strip following the start of the ground operations, explaining that, according to available information, some of them are held in Damon and Hasharon prisons.
The statement noted that the Occupation refuses to disclose the fate and exact numbers of these women, their places of detention, or any information on their health conditions. The statement also pointed out that the Occupation announced at the end of November the presence of 260 hostages, both men and women, all from Gaza, who were classified as illegal combatants. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir instructed their transfer to the underground wing of the Nitzan prison in Ramla, which is considered one of the worst and oldest prisons.
The Commission of Detainees Affairs warned on Monday of the Israeli government’s breach of conditions set for recent prisoner exchange deals by pursuing detainee Fadwa Hamada from Jerusalem. This comes after Haifa’s Magistrate Court, during an in-absentia trial for Hamada on Monday, decided to summon her, accompanied by her lawyer, to attend the sentencing hearing.
The commission stated that the judge considered the detainee to have committed violations against the prison administration and police during her years of imprisonment, and that she should be held accountable regardless of the official exchange deal. The commission also regarded the trial as a “legal dilemma for Hamada and all those released in exchange deals, as it reveals that their cases are still being circulated within the Israeli courts.”
The Commission called on Egypt, Qatar, and the mediators involved in the recent exchange deal to “take a stand on this incident, and force the Occupation state to abide by the conditions of the deal, and not pursue those who were released.”
Today, a general strike spread across the cities of the West Bank in response to a global call to end the aggression on Gaza. Demonstrations also took place in Ramallah, coinciding with the ongoing incursions by the Occupation army into the cities and towns of the West Bank and sparking clashes with residents in the town of Abu Dis. The clashes resulted in fires in several homes due to the Israeli army’s use of incendiary bombs and poisonous gas against protestors.
Surveillance cameras captured the moment today when a Palestinian was assassinated on the ground in a camp in the West Bank city of Tubas during incursions carried out by the Occupation army on Friday, resulting in the killing of 6 Palestinians and the injury and arrest of others.
The Occupation forces continued to demolish Palestinian homes in the West Bank and carried out attacks on military checkpoints on Tuesday. The number of arrests has reached 3,810 prisoners since October 7, after the Occupation forces arrested 30 Palestinians yesterday evening, according to data published by the Commission of Detainees Affairs.
The situation continues to escalate daily on the northern border of Israel, where the Lebanese Hezbollah is based in south Lebanon.
On Monday, the Occupation announced that it intercepted six missiles among a number of missiles launched from Lebanese territories toward Israel. The military stated that “artillery fired toward the source of shooting.”
Meanwhile, alarm sirens blared in towns near the Israeli-Lebanon border, following a day marked by heightened Hezbollah attacks on northern Israeli settlements. According to separate statements released by the party on Telegram, Hezbollah targeted an Israeli military meeting point in the vicinity of the Samaka site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa farms, as well as the Hadab al-Bustan site with “appropriate weapons.” Additionally, Hezbollah targeted the Brannit barracks and the Baghdadi site with artillery shells and launched Burkan rockets at the Raheb site.
In neighboring Syria, three civilians, including a woman and at least five military personnel were injured as a result of the Israeli shelling on sites where Hezbollah and Iran-affiliated militias are present near residential areas in Damascus, according to the Syrian Observatory, which reported that Israel has targeted Syrian territories 30 times since the aggression on Gaza, resulting in the “killing of 32 military personnel and 2 civilians.”
For its part, the Syrian Defense Ministry stated that the Occupation aircraft carried out an aerial attack from “the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus,” confirming that the air defense managed to shoot down some missiles, with “losses confined to material damage.”
A Norwegian STRINDA tanker delivering crude oil to Israel was attacked with a rocket launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militant rebels on Monday. This was denied by the tanker’s owner, the Norwegian Mowinckel Chemical Tankers, who said the vessel was headed to Italy with a cargo of palm oil. The attack comes as the Houthis recently vowed to block any ships traveling to Israel until the country puts an end to its offensive on Gaza and provides aid to Palestinians.
