GAZA CITY: The Israel-Palestine conflict has reached a disturbing peak, with at least 300 innocent Palestinians martyred in Israeli air attacks on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported, citing medical sources. The escalation follows the Palestinian Resistance, Hamas Group, offensive against Israel. Hamas’s military wing claims to have captured dozens of Israelis, escalating tensions further in the region.
Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza, states that its offensive is in response to the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence, pointing to ongoing tensions in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave to evacuate, warning that Israeli forces will demolish all houses in Gaza.
The Israeli bombardment of Gaza continued on Sunday, causing widespread destruction in densely populated areas. Residents like Belal Aldabbour, a medical professional, are taking precautions to protect their families amidst the conflict. Aldabbour has mapped out safe spaces in his home and stocked reserve batteries to ensure electricity in case of power outages.
