On Sunday, Day 637 since the genocide began in Gaza on October 7, 2023, and Day 109 since its resumption on March 18, 2025, the Israeli army continued its campaign of airstrikes and shelling across the devastated, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip, killing and injuring dozens of Palestinians.
Medical sources reported that 100 civilians, including 11 people killed by Israeli forces and US mercenaries with the ‘GHF’ American corporation at the so-called ‘aid sites’ that eyewitnesses and video footage show to be nothing more than ‘Squid Game’ style gladiator arenas, where Palestinians are forced to run, lie down and stay still for hours or be shot – just for the chance to fight for a small scrap of food.
Intense Israeli shelling on several areas in the Gaza Strip began early in the morning Sunday and continued through the afternoon and into the evening — as has been the case every day in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The negotiated ceasefire in January held only 51 days, from January 25th through March 18th, 2025, when Israel resumed its wholesale slaughter of the besieged and imprisoned Palestinian civilian population in Gaza.
Today in Gaza, Israeli forces dropped bombs on the al-Mawasi ‘safe zone’ for the fifth day in a row, killing civilians in their tents, including burning children alive. A number of other bombings and shellings were carried out Sunday by the Israeli military against the starved, besieged and unarmed civilian population of 2.3 million people imprisoned inside the Gaza death camp (documented below).
Journalist Mohammed Safa reported yesterday:
“Over 500 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the last 96 hours.
1 July: ~151 people killed.
2 July: ~142 people killed.
3 July: ~118 people killed.
4 July: ~90 people killed.”
Since then, an additional 78 civilians were killed by Israeli forces yesterday, July 5th.

More than 100,000 children are suffering from advanced stages of malnutrition, underscoring the deepening crisis in the territory.
He also highlighted a sharp decline in available water supplies, with the ability to transport water now severely compromised due to fuel shortages. The network is urgently calling for international pressure on the occupying forces to allow fuel into the Gaza Strip, hoping to restore basic services and ease the suffering of residents.
In related news, the Israeli military spokesperson announced on Sunday that approximately 130 sites across the Gaza Strip were targeted within the past 24 hours.
He claimed that these operations, carried out by the air force with ground support, focused on what he called “command and control structures, weapons depots, armed cells, and rocket launch platforms.”
According to the statement, the intensified campaign was guided by military intelligence and the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) and aimed at dismantling the resistance’s infrastructure.
In southern Gaza, the Kfir and 188 brigades targeted several locations in Khan Younis, uncovering what was dubbed as “significant combat equipment.” The 143rd Gaza Brigade also identified and destroyed infrastructure in Rafah, in Gaza’s southernmost part, the statement alleged.

He also accused Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi of prioritizing political loyalty over strategic truth, suggesting Halevi is more concerned with satisfying Prime Minister Netanyahu and the political leadership to ensure their continued hold on power.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts remain stalled. Israel formally rejected Hamas’s amendments to the Qatari-mediated ceasefire proposal, calling them “unacceptable.”
Nonetheless, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized indirect talks and dispatched a delegation to Doha. Hamas described its response as “positive” and expressed readiness to begin immediate negotiations on implementation mechanisms.
U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Hamas’s reply, calling it “a good thing” and voiced hope that a ceasefire agreement could be reached within days.
