On 5 June, at least 75 Palestinians were martyred and dozens injured in Israeli overnight attacks on several areas in the central Gaza Strip. Israeli aircraft and artillery had bombed several locations in al-Bureij and al-Maghazi refugee camps and east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. [1]
Just three days later, on 8 June, Zionist forces struck the Nuseirat camp and massacred over 276 with at least 698 wounded. In the 75-minute-long assault, the devastation was difficult to comprehend. [2]
According to medical sources, in both instances air and artillery strikes continued throughout the night and into the morning, specifically targeting residential areas and agricultural lands.
Only medical facility for one million+
al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which is the only medical facility for over a million Palestinians, has been experiencing a massive surge of patients. People are coming with severe burns, shrapnel wounds, fractures, and other traumatic injuries in this past month. [3]
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Health said in early June, it is “overflowing with wounded people”. [3]
The Zionist state has already targeted several hospitals in Gaza, resulting in a severe shortage of healthcare facilities in the area.
Hani Mahmoud, an Al Jazeera reporter, said at the time of the barbaric strikes,
“Doctors are running everywhere, searching for remaining medical supplies including antiseptics and anaesthetics to perform urgent operations to save lives.
“We can still hear explosions of ongoing attacks and heavy machine-gun fire in the Eastern area of central Gaza — including the densely populated Maghazi and Bureij camps.” [3]
Jabalia camp and Beit Hanoun attack
Israel has previously targeted the Jabalia refugee camp, resulting in extensive destruction.
Municipal authorities in the region declared both Jabalia and Beit Hanoun as disaster areas, with Naji Sarhan, Head of the Municipal Emergency Committee, telling the media that Israeli forces have caused extensive damage in Northern Gaza. [4]
Approximately 50,000 housing units have been destroyed, while drainage networks and roads in many municipalities have been deliberately bulldozed.
In Sarhan’s words,
“The Jabalia refugee camp and Beit Hanoun town are now disaster areas.” [4]
No real progress with ceasefire negotiations
Israel has been deliberately attacking refugee camps at a time when the US, Qatar, and Egypt are working towards a ceasefire between itself and Hamas.
US, Qatari, and Egyptian officials met in Doha in early June to advance a ceasefire deal, with the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan claiming the administration was waiting for a response from Hamas through Qatari mediators to a three-pronged ceasefire proposal that US President Joe Biden revealed on 31 May. [5]
In the announcement last month, Biden revealed a plan that was initially proposed by Israel. However, it seemed clear from the beginning that Israeli regime leaders want to distance themselves from the proposal and keep fighting Hamas until they feel the group is destroyed.
Hamas official Osama Hamdan reiterated that it could not agree to any deal unless Israel makes a clear commitment to a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal from Gaza.
“The Israeli response talks about opening the door for negotiations on everything with no end or timeline … this confirms that Israel only wants one phase, where it takes its prisoners then resumes its aggression and war against our people.” [3]
Hamdan also stated,
“As long as there is no clear stance of readiness by the Zionist occupation for a permanent ceasefire and full withdrawal from Gaza, we cannot agree to a deal that does not ensure and does not guarantee a permanent ceasefire, full withdrawal, and a subsequent prisoner exchange.” [3]
According to health authorities in Gaza, the number of Palestinian casualties resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza has surpassed 37,000.
Analysis
ANALYSIS
Zionist state is free to do as it desires?
The devastating attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp are themselves enough for anyone who has an ounce of compassion or faith in a Creator.
But it is a clear sign that people simply do not care about the lives of those that the media deliberately chooses to ignore or devalue or dehumanise.
This is the case with the ongoing atrocities in East Turkestan, Kashmir, Sudan, and Myanmar. But if you flicked through the news channels right now, you can almost guarantee that there would be a feature piece on Ukraine or a report describing Vladimir Putin as the worst thing since Hitler.
Putin may well be as they describe, but why is it barely making an imprint when the apartheid state of Israel sees it fit to bomb not just one refugee camp, not two, but many different sites, all of which are housing internally displaced Palestinians who may never see their homes again?
Israel is finished on the international stage!
If the last remaining European colony ever had an inkling of respect in the world, let me note that this has long been depleted.
It has committed war crime after war crime, killing tens of thousands of women, tens of thousands more children, contaminating water supplies, destroying sanitation routes and infrastructure, supporting illegal settlers in their zeal to attack aid trucks... and yet it says it is acting to defend itself.
Perhaps the world is blind to the ongoing atrocities, but we are not.
