GAZA, Nov 23 (NNN-WAFA) – Gaza’s Civil Defence said yesterday that, the Barbaric Israeli regime, launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in at least 22 deaths and dozens of injuries in the enclave.
According to Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defence, those killed included a commander from the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing.
A Hamas source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that, the movement has informed regional mediators of its “anger” over continued Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, despite Hamas and other Palestinian factions adhering to the ceasefire agreement.
The source added that, Hamas urged the mediators to “intervene immediately, to prevent the collapse of the agreement, as Israel intends to seek,” stressing that, the movement and other factions remain committed to the ceasefire, despite the escalation.
The source also warned that Israel’s continued murdering of residents in the enclave, along with what he described as the U.S. “slow pressure” on Israel, to restrain its actions, could push the situation towards potential chaos.
The marauding Israeli army launched wide-ranging attacks on several areas of the coastal enclave yesterday afternoon, leaving multiple casualties, according to local medical sources.
In a statement, the Barbaric Israel Defence Forces said, its troops had completed a pursuit of 17 militants, who emerged from a tunnel network in eastern Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing 11 of them.
Since the ceasefire in Gaza took effect in October, Israeli attacks have murdered 318 people and injured 788 others, bringing the total death toll since Oct 7, 2023, to 69,733, and the number of injured to 170,863, according to the Gaza-based health authorities.– NNN-WAFA
