Israeli occupation forces have intensified their assault on Gaza, unleashing some of the most destructive attacks since the war began. Entire residential areas and shelters for displaced civilians have been bombed, wiping out families and reducing neighbourhoods to rubble.

Advanced warplanes and high-powered missiles have levelled homes without warning. Relentless fire belts have struck densely populated areas, killing and injuring scores of civilians. Human rights groups say the high number of women and children among the dead points to a systematic policy of mass killing that amounts to genocide.

Gaza’s health sector has also come under direct attack. Hospitals have been shelled, besieged, and forced out of service. Patients and medics have been killed or trapped inside facilities without access to medical care or evacuation routes. The Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza has been surrounded and hit repeatedly, while Al-Awda Hospital was struck by drones.

Ismail Al Thawabta, Director of the Government Media Office in Gaza, said Israel is pursuing a scorched earth policy to forcibly depopulate Gaza. He described the campaign as one of mass killing and forced displacement aimed at breaking Palestinian society. Speaking to Safa News Agency, he said Israel is emboldened by international silence and US military support, allowing it to escalate its attacks with impunity.

Al Thawabta stressed that the repeated targeting of shelters and homes is evidence that the goal is extermination, not military objectives. These are not mistakes but a deliberate attempt to dismantle Palestinian life.

In recent days alone, over 950 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,200 injured. At least 83 families have been wiped out. Many remain under the rubble, while rescue efforts are crippled by bombardment and lack of resources.

The situation in northern Gaza is described as catastrophic. All public hospitals are out of service, either destroyed, besieged, or bulldozed. Medical teams work in schools and shelters, often without electricity, anaesthetics, or basic tools. With no fuel, ambulances are unable to operate, forcing people to carry the wounded by hand.

Cemeteries are full. Bodies are now buried in mass graves and public parks. Despite these horrors, Al Thawabta said Palestinian institutions continue to do all they can to provide support, even as the world remains silent in the face of unfolding genocide.
