On the 700th day of Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza, the Israeli army intensified its aerial and ground assaults across the besieged enclave. Residential areas and displacement camps were targeted once again, resulting in dozens of casualties, while famine continues to claim lives in shelters and ruins.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that six Palestinians, including a child, have died from malnutrition in the last 24 hours, bringing the number of death due famine to 382, including 135 children.
Five Palestinians were killed, and several other injured, after Israeli soldiers opened fire at thousands of residents who gathered near a food distribution center, west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Earlier this morning, six Palestinians were killed and many others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential home in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. The home belonged to the Abu Awad family and was located near Shuhada Square.
Furthermore, a source at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza city said the body of a slain Palestinian was found under the rubble of a home the army bombarded in the Zeitoun neighborhood, in the southeastern area of the city.
A child was also killed, and several Palestinians wounded, in Israeli artillery shelling on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
Palestinian rescue teams also found the bodies of four Palestinians in the Twam area, north of Gaza city, after the army bombarded it.
In addition, medical sources confirmed that two Palestinians were killed and at least 17 others wounded when Israeli forces shelled crowds gathered at a humanitarian aid distribution point south of Wadi Gaza in the central region.
Shortly afterward, three more civilians waiting for food assistance were shot and killed near an aid center southwest of Khan Younis.
Also in Khan Younis, an Israeli military drone fired live rounds at Palestinians while inspecting their bombarded homes in the Al-Amal neighborhood, northwest of the city.
Furthermore, a source at Nasser Medical Center in Khan Younis has confirmed the death of an elderly man after Israeli soldiers opened fire at many Palestinians in Al-Mawasi, southwest of the city, although the army decaled the area as a “humanitarian zone.”
Additional injuries were reported as Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid near the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israeli helicopters fired barrages of live rounds at the eastern neighborhoods of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, intensifying the assault on already devastated areas.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced the beginning of a new phase of military escalation, declaring that “the gates of hell are now opening in Gaza.” He vowed that operations would intensify until Israel imposes its conditions.
This renewed offensive deepens the humanitarian catastrophe, as starvation, mass displacement, and systematic attacks on civilian infrastructure continue unabated. The siege has turned Gaza into a zone of annihilation, where survival itself is under assault.

Amnesty International has issued a scathing condemnation of Israel’s military onslaught in Gaza City, describing it as a catastrophic escalation with genocidal intent.
Amnesty has called for an immediate halt to the offensive, warning that it will forcibly displace hundreds of thousands and deepen the humanitarian catastrophe across the besieged enclave.
Gaza is already enduring a deliberate campaign of starvation and annihilation. The occupying power continues to ignore the suffering of Palestinians, pressing forward with mass displacement orders, aerial bombardments, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure.

Amnesty accused Israel of showing utter disregard for international law and for the lives of Palestinians trapped in Gaza. The organization warned that the offensive entrenches unlawful occupation and constitutes a war crime through forced transfer and collective punishment.

Meanwhile, Google signed a $45 million contract with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office to launch a sweeping propaganda campaign aimed at denying the existence of famine in Gaza. The campaign coincided with a global outcry over the deepening hunger crisis in the besieged enclave.
The Google-backed initiative began shortly after Israel imposed a full blockade on food, medicine, and fuel entering Gaza in March.
Despite mounting evidence from UN agencies and humanitarian organizations confirming widespread starvation and preventable deaths—particularly among children—Google’s platforms, including YouTube and Display & Video 360, were used to disseminate messaging that claimed: “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie,” Drop Site News said on September 3rd.

According to the contract, Google is described as an entity that collaborates with the Israeli Prime Minister “under normal circumstances or in emergencies.”
Israel has now killed over 64,300 Palestinians and wounded more than 161,005, predominantly women and children, in addition to the thousands of missing Palestinians, largely under rubble and in areas inaccessible to medics and rescue teams.
