On Monday July 7, 2025, day 638 of Israel’s genocide against the people of Gaza, and day 109 since the Israeli military violated the ceasefire agreement on March 18th (when Israel resumed its wholesale slaughter of the besieged and imprisoned Palestinian civilian population in Gaza), Israeli forces continued its violent assault on various parts of the Gaza Strip, especially the al-Mawasi ‘safe zone’ – bombed for the fifth day in a row, as well as Khan Younis and Gaza City. At least sixty Palestinian civilians were killed on Monday.
The Israeli military committed numerous war crimes again on Monday, bombing and shelling the starved, besieged and unarmed civilian population of 2.3 million people imprisoned inside the Gaza death camp.
Intense Israeli shelling on several areas in the Gaza Strip began early in the morning Monday and continued through the afternoon and into the evening — as has been the case every day in Gaza since October 7, 2023 (apart from a five-day ceasefire in late November 2023, and a 51-day ceasefire from January 25th through March 18th, 2025).
Today’s massacres followed a series of massacres committed by Israeli forces on Sunday, with over 100 civilians killed by Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire.
Also Monday, six Israeli soldiers were killed and ten others wounded after Palestinian fighters targeted them in the city of Beit Hanoun.
Among the targets of the Israeli attacks on Monday were starving civilians trying to obtain food from the ‘Squid Game’ style gladiator arenas set up by the US-based Christian Zionist corporation “GHF”. Since May 27th, when the US-based Christian Zionist company “GHF” took over aid distribution in the Gaza Strip, replacing 400 distribution sites with just 4 ‘Squid Games’ style arenas where Palestinians are forced to wait many hours, then fight each other for small scraps of food, massacres at the so-called ‘aid sites’ have become a daily occurrence, with an average of 30 – 50 Palestinians killed each day, with at least 600 Palestinians killed in these ‘gladiator arenas’ since May 27th, 2025. These attacks have increased in recent days as the Israeli-funded gangs have been given more weapons by Israel to strong-arm aid and sell the aid for incredibly exorbitant prices.
On Monday, Israeli troops killed at least 6 Palestinians competing for scraps of food in the ‘Hunger Games’ style gladiator arena set up by the US company GHF.
The following attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza on Monday were documented by local sources:

Israeli drones also launched an airstrike on the home of the al-Jamasi family, located next to the Abdul Fattah Hamouda School, which houses displaced persons on Jaffa Street, east of the city. The strike resulted in the death of a female citizen and the injury of others.

In a related development, a Wafa news correspondent reported a power outage at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, due to a malfunction of the main generator, a lack of spare parts for its maintenance, and the near complete depletion of fuel needed to operate the generators. This threatens the lives of children, patients, and the wounded in the hospital.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has waged a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 194,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that has claimed the lives of many, including children.

According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 57,418 killed and 136,261 wounded. Thousands of bodies remain under the rubble and in the streets, as rescue and ambulance teams are unable to reach them due to the ongoing bombardment and lack of equipment .
The occupation’s intensive bombardment of residential areas, medical centers, and displacement sites continues amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions and severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations continue to warn of the worsening health and environmental crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip.
A new report by Quds News found “In one of the strangest wartime accounts, Israeli media reports reveal that the Israeli army seized hundreds of donkeys in Gaza and airlifted them to France, claiming it was to protect them.”
The people of Gaza recently honored the donkeys in the Gaza Strip for their role in helping pull carts, including transporting dead and wounded:
Continuous Israeli attacks on the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.
Severe shortage of blood to treat wounded:
Hospitals in the Gaza Strip continue to receive more killed and wounded as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression, amid a worsening humanitarian crisis and a severe shortage of blood units and blood derivatives, which threatens dire consequences for the lives of the injured and sick.
Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City received nine killed, including six who died as a result of a direct attack on the Al-Rimal Health Center, a shelter in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in the west of the city. Two more were killed as a result of an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the Al-Sabra neighborhood in the south, in addition to another killed in the Jabalia Al-Balad area in the northern Gaza Strip .
Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, has received 12 bodies since dawn today, including five people who were waiting for humanitarian aid in the Shakoush area of Rafah. This is a new scene added to the series of massacres targeting civilians in shelters and distribution centers.
In a related context, the Palestinian Ministry of Health warned of the imminent collapse of blood banks and laboratories, which are no longer able to meet the needs of the wounded and injured, especially in light of the sharp increase in the number of critical cases.
The ministry reported that the available blood stock is much less than the monthly consumption.
Over the past month, 10,000 units of blood and blood products were distributed, while only 3,500 units were available . She said that community donation appeals are no longer sufficient due to the spread of malnutrition, anemia, and the deterioration of the general health of the population. She added that there is an urgent and pressing need to replenish blood bank stocks to enable medical teams to carry out life-saving emergency interventions.
The ministry stressed that this severe shortage poses a direct threat to the lives of thousands of wounded and injured people, calling on international and humanitarian agencies to urgently intervene to provide blood units and related supplies as quickly as possible, given the stifling blockade and near-total collapse of the health system in the Gaza Strip.
