Gaza, Palestine - Israel's indiscriminate killing spree in the besieged Gaza Strip continues unabated, ostensibly to eradicate Hamas and rescue hostages.
Israeli forces are intensifying their attacks daily, leading to a growing toll of fatalities. No place is safe for Gaza's residents.
With ongoing aerial and ground operations combined with blocked aid supplies, Gaza has become a living hell for its inhabitants.
Even during Eid, the Israeli genocide has not ceased; the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have not paused their attacks on Gaza's population for a single day during this period.
Most recently, on the third day of Eid, the Israeli Air Force conducted repeated bombardments across the besieged enclave.
These day-long assaults killed at least 108 people and injured another 393. Previously, on Eid and the day after, Israeli forces killed at least 117 innocent Palestinians.
Anadolu Agency reported these figures on Monday (June 9).
In a statement released Sunday evening, Gaza's Ministry of Health announced that the total number of fatalities in Gaza from the Israeli aggression, which began in October 2023, has now reached 54,880.
The number of injured has climbed to 126,227. Women and children account for 56 percent of the casualties.
Israeli forces launched a devastating operation in Gaza on October 7, 2023, in response to a Hamas attack.
After 15 months of military operations, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza on January 19, under pressure from the United States and the international community.
For nearly two months thereafter, a relative calm prevailed in Gaza. However, due to disagreements with Hamas over the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, Israel resumed its aerial attacks on the Strip in the third week of March.
Since the start of this second phase of operations on March 18, at least 4,603 Palestinians have been killed and approximately 14,686 more injured in Gaza.
