Israeli forces have reignited their offensive in Gaza, killing 591 Palestinians, including 200 children, in just three days since abandoning a fragile ceasefire. The Gaza Health Ministry reports over 1,040 injured, with airstrikes and ground operations reducing southern Gaza to rubble. Rafah’s Shaboura district, a crowded sanctuary for displaced families, now lies in ruins after a brutal Israeli invasion today. Witnesses describe apocalyptic scenes: shattered homes, lifeless bodies in streets, and medics overwhelmed by the carnage.
The assault, launched despite Ramadan’s call for peace, has drawn global condemnation. Palestinians mourn in tents and hospitals, their holy month stained with blood and loss. “This isn’t war—it’s annihilation,” said a grieving father in Rafah, cradling his wounded daughter.
Tensions ripple beyond Gaza. Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for missile attacks on Israel in retaliation, while Israeli jets struck southern Lebanon, stoking fears of a broader conflict. Inside Israel, dissent boils over—thousands protested in Jerusalem against Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline policies, clashing with police in fiery demonstrations.
Rights groups accuse Israel of war crimes, labeling the campaign collective punishment. “The world watches as Gaza burns,” said the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. “Where is justice? Where is humanity?” As the death toll climbs, the international community remains paralyzed, and Gaza’s people face an unending nightmare.
