Israel's ongoing military operation in Gaza: Clashes erupt in Jabalia and Rafah as Israeli forces make progress.

 

Hamas vows to persistently confront the ongoing ground invasion in Rafah and other areas of Gaza, regardless of the duration or nature of the aggression. The number of people fleeing Israel's advancement in southern Rafah has now surpassed 630,000, while an additional 100,000 have escaped the ground assault in the north. Intense battles between Palestinian fighters and Israeli troops are taking place in Jabalia, northern Gaza, and southern Rafah, marking some of the most intense clashes of the war. 

Tragically, the Jenin Brigades commander, Islam Khamaysa, lost his life, and eight others were injured in an Israeli missile attack in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The devastating toll of Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7 stands at 35,303 lives lost and 79,261 people wounded. In contrast, the revised death toll in Israel resulting from Hamas's attack is 1,139, with numerous individuals still held captive.
