On Saturday, day 365 of the Israeli assault on the entire civilian population of the Gaza Strip (because of the 2025 leap year, the year has 366 days), Israeli forces continued their relentless assault against the civilians in the Gaza Strip, nearly all of whom have been displaced from their homes due to the Israeli bombardment that has destroyed more than 85% of the infrastructure and housing in the coastal enclave.
Five Palestinians were killed and others were injured on Saturday in the Israeli occupation forces’ shelling of Beit Hanoun town, north of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that five civilians were killed and others were injured as a result of being exposed to the occupation’s artillery shelling.
The Israeli occupation renewed artillery shelling of the western areas of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Israeli forces sent Jamal, a detainee, to a hospital in Gaza to relay evacuation orders. Snipers then shot him and killed him in front of his mother.
When his body was retrieved, the evidence of torture and assault was apparent on Jamal’s body.

In an incomplete tally, the number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of the occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7th has risen to 41,802 killed, most of whom are children and women, while the number of wounded has reached more than 96,000.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,891 children, 11,458 women, 174 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 986 medical staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher – and could be above 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.
This most recent escalation of Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine began October 7th 2023 when 1,143 Israelis were killed, including 767 civilians and 376 armed soldiers. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
