The situation in northern Gaza has been described as "apocalyptic" by acting UN aid chief Joyce Msuya, as Israel's military offensive against Hamas in the area.. Sky News
In a bold and devastating escalation, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades have claimed responsibility for killing at least 20 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in just two days. The attacks, described as "multiple strikes" and "deadly ambushes," took place in the northern Gaza Strip and are being hailed as a significant counteroffensive against Israel's ongoing military aggression.
The Hamas statement emphasises the scale and precision of the operations, marking a major blow to Israeli forces who have been engaged in intensive airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza. According to Hamas, the resistance movement has successfully targeted Israeli soldiers, continuing their war of attrition against the occupying forces. The organisation vowed that these attacks are only the beginning, promising further strikes until the Israeli regime withdraws completely from the besieged Palestinian territory.
