Rising Casualties: Israeli Bombings in Gaza Claim Over 100 Lives
In a tragic escalation, more than **100 lives** were lost due to Israeli air bombings in the **Gaza Strip** during the night from Saturday to Sunday, according to multiple sources. The spokesman for the **Gaza Ministry of Health** reported that “we have at least 100 martyrs since that night.” The **Palestinian press agency Wafa** further emphasized this grim statistic, revealing **108 dead and dozens injured** in what has been described as **“massacres”** across various regions of Palestinian territory.
One of the most devastating strikes targeted a camp for displaced persons in **Khan Younès**, situated in the southern part of the enclave. Reports indicate that around **40 individuals** perished in this attack, prompting **Hamas** to label the strike as a **“new brutal crime.”** The organization has further accused the **U.S. administration** of sharing responsibility for the escalating violence.
Further strikes were reported in **Al-Zawayda** and **Deir al-Balah** in central Gaza, along with additional assaults in **Jabaliya** and **Beit Lahya** in the north. Emergency response teams worked through the debris, desperately searching for survivors and victims. Reports from Wafa illustrate the **harrowing conditions** faced by rescue workers who, during this **“bloody”** night, labored with **bare hands, without equipment** or personal protective gear, as **Israel** has blocked the entry of medical supplies, fuel, and food since March 2.
Sadly, among the deceased were three **journalists** along with their families, as confirmed by medical officials. Disturbingly, a family in northern Gaza reportedly lost **twenty members** in the bombings. Notably, **Zakaria Sinouar**, a brother of former **Hamas chief Yahya Sinouar,** and three of his children died in a strike against their tent in central Gaza. Zakaria Sinouar held a position as a **history professor** at a local university, highlighting the devastating impact on civilian life.
In an official statement, the **Israeli army** announced on Saturday **“major strikes”** aimed at **“taking control of zones”** within Palestinian territories to accomplish its military objectives. Currently, the ongoing military campaign has resulted in catastrophic consequences for the residents of Gaza, displacing virtually all inhabitants from their homes and causing the deaths of over **53,000 individuals,** as reported by Gaza health authorities.
