GAZA, March 21, 2025 (WAFA) – In an escalation of the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip, Israeli army tanks have invaded the western areas of Beit Lahiya, in the northern part of the enclave. This assault was accompanied by heavy artillery fire and shelling targeting the area.
Eyewitnesses reported to Anadolu Agency that the Israeli tanks pushed further into the region, unleashing a barrage of gunfire and shells, causing significant destruction to the city, which had already been devastated during the ongoing genocide.
Simultaneously, Israeli warplanes struck a house in the industrial street of Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, located in the southwestern part of Gaza City. Local sources confirmed the bombing and indicated extensive damage to the building.
Medical sources in Gaza reported that since early Thursday morning, 95 people have been killed and 133 others injured as a result of the ongoing attacks by Israeli occupation forces. These fatalities are part of Israel's resumption of the genocide in Gaza after a two-month hiatus, with over 591 people killed since the genocidal campaign was resumed earlier this week. The majority of the casualties are women and children, and hundreds more have sustained various injuries.
Israel's resumption of the genocide has triggered widespread concerns about the worsening conditions for Gaza's population, especially as the blockade continues to block the supply of medical and humanitarian aid.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation military announced yesterday the commencement of a ground offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, expanding its military activities in the southern Gaza Strip and targeting infrastructure.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 48,572 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 112,032 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
