Over 130 Palestinians killed by
The head of the Gaza government media office demands that the international community hold the Israeli occupation responsible for its crimes in Gaza.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Salama Marouf, head of the Gaza government’s media office, condemned the Israeli regime’s continued violations of the ceasefire agreement, citing the Israeli regime’s refusal to withdraw from the Salah al-Din axis in southern Gaza and its continued aggression and destruction in Rafah.
Marouf warned that these actions demonstrate the Israeli regime’s aggressive intentions and its commitment to further crimes against the Palestinian people.
Marouf announced in a press statement that over the past ten days, Israeli forces have increased their attacks despite the ceasefire.
Referring to the latest incident as evidence of the Israeli regime’s disregard for the agreement, he reported the killing of five Palestinians, including two brothers, near Kuwait Square in an Israeli drone strike.
This crime brings the total number of Palestinians killed since the implementation of the ceasefire on January 19 to 137, with about 52 of them killed in Rafah alone.
Marouf rejected the Israeli occupation’s claims justifying these attacks, saying that the victims, including women and children, pose no threat to Israeli forces. Many of them were killed while inspecting their homes near Israeli military positions.
He called on mediators to intervene and pressure the Israeli regime to abide by its commitments under the agreement and end its ongoing crimes. Furthermore, he called on the international community to take responsibility for stopping Israeli violations, especially the collective punishment policies that have led to a suffocating siege of 2.4 million people, as well as the systematic targeting of civilians.
According to Al-Mayadeen, a drone strike targeting a civilian gathering east of Camp Burridge killed three Palestinians on March 10, while the Palestinian News Agency reported today that one martyr was transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah and two others remained at the scene of the attack.
Earlier on March 10, the Gaza Health Ministry reported in its daily statistical update that nine martyrs had been registered, including five whose bodies had recovered and four newly confirmed, while 16 wounded had been transferred to hospitals in the past 24 hours.
On the same day, Israeli occupation forces shot a Palestinian woman in the Tel Sultan neighborhood in westernmost Rafah in the Gaza Strip, according to Al-Mayadeen correspondent.
On March 2, Israel announced a blockade on the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza and threatened to put more pressure on Hamas after the Palestinian resistance faction rejected the US offer to extend the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.
During a press briefing on March 10, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini stated, "We have already seen first signs of increased prices on the market," adding that as more time passes, the more the impact of the ban increases in Gaza, while also warning that "there is a risk of going back to the situation we experienced months ago, about deepening hunger in Gaza Strip... The block needs to be lifted."
Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced on March 9 that he had signed an order to cut electricity supply to Gaza, a week after the occupation blocked all humanitarian aid from the Strip, while emphasizing in a video address that "Israel" will use all available tools to bring back the captives and ensure that Hamas is no longer in Gaza the day after the war.
UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese stated that the lack of sanctions and an arms embargo against "Israel" amid the electricity cutoff in Gaza amounts to complicity in genocide./Al Mayadeen
