In a scene that underscores the genocidal nature of the assault on Gaza, occupation forces continue targeting unarmed civilians and their homes, causing additional deaths and injuries among women, children, and displaced persons. This atrocity is yet another in a long string of violations that amount to genocide.
Early Monday morning, several civilians were killed and others injured by airstrikes across various parts of the Gaza Strip.
A medical source at Al-Shifa Medical Complex reported that five members of a single family were killed and others injured when their home was destroyed by Israeli aircraft in the Al-Karama area, northwest of Gaza City.
In another atrocity, an airstrike targeted a tent sheltering displaced individuals in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, killing a woman and injuring seven others, underscoring that even temporary safe zones are not spared, revealing a calculated strategy to deny civilians any sanctuary.
Three civilians were also killed and others injured after a team providing humanitarian aid in Deir al-Balah was directly targeted, striking at the limited efforts to help the starving and besieged population.
The assaults extend beyond airstrikes. The occupation army conducted large-scale demolitions in Al-Zarqa and Jabalia Al-Nazla in northern Gaza and destroyed several homes in Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood in southeastern Gaza City as part of a scorched-earth policy aimed at clearing entire residential areas and devastating civilian life.
The repeated targeting of families in their homes, displaced civilians in their tents, and aid workers reveals a deliberate intent to uproot the population through murder, starvation, and widespread destruction.
What is happening in Gaza can only be described as a systematic genocide, where an unarmed people are subjected to a total war aimed at eliminating their human presence and fundamental right to life.
