On Wednesday, Day 698 of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, and Day 171 since Israel violated the mediated ceasefire agreement, Israeli bombing and shelling across the devastated Gaza Strip intensified, resulting in the killing of at least 79 Palestinians.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reports at least 113 Palestinians killed and 304 injured in the past 24 hours. 33 Palestinians were killed and 141 injured while seeking aid. The total recorded death toll since October 7, 2023 is now 63,746 killed and 161,245 injured.
Among those killed was the family (pictured above): Mohammed Saadat, his wife Amal, and their children Sila, Eileen, and Ahmed, a family from Gaza who dreamed of a peaceful life.
The bombardment continues relentlessly, with Gaza City remaining a central target in the declared military campaign. The population faces a deepening humanitarian crisis amid mass displacement and escalating violence.
Israel continues its daily targeting of journalists, this time killing a cameraman for Al-Alami TV, who worked with the recently evacuated journalist Abu Baker Abed:
Six more deaths, including one child, were recorded over the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, bringing the total since the start of the war to 367, including 131 children.
The Government Media Office in Gaza reports that since the launch of Israel’s offensive on Gaza City on August 13, Israel has detonated at least 100 robotic vehicles laden with explosives in the streets and conducted more than 70 airstrikes killing 1,100 Palestinians and wounding 6,008.
The United Nations announced that more than 82,000 people were forcibly displaced between August 14 and 31, due to the escalating Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
This announcement came at a press conference by Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in New York, regarding the situation in Gaza.
The Israeli occupation aircraft continued their raids on the Gaza Strip, launching a raid east of Hamad Towers, north of the city of Khan Yunis, and bombing the tents of the displaced around the Italian Tower in the Al-Nasr neighborhood in Gaza City. They also bombed a house of the Habib family in the Al-Sabra neighborhood in the city, resulting in a number of killed and wounded.
Israeli forces escalated aerial and artillery strikes across Gaza City—especially Al-Daraj, Sheikh Radwan, and Zeitoun—killing at least 53 residents. Prime Minister Netanyahu declared the war had entered its “decisive stage,” while Israeli military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said ground operations were expanding “into places we have never entered before” and the army tightened its encirclement of Gaza City. The military has mobilized 60,000 reservists, with another 20,000 set for extended service.
