Israeli occupation forces have massacred at least 91 Palestinians, including 35 defenseless children, across the besieged Gaza Strip since Tuesday evening, flagrantly violating the fragile ceasefire agreement, Palestinian medical authorities reported.

The local sources, citing hospital reports, said the fatalities were concentrated across the territory: 31 in northern Gaza, 42 in central areas, and 18 in the south. Israeli attacks targeted homes, tents sheltering displaced civilians, vehicles, a hospital, and a mosque, including areas inside the so-called “yellow line” — a zone designated under the ceasefire where Israeli forces were not supposed to operate.

In Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, Israeli missiles obliterated a school repurposed as a shelter for fleeing families, murdering three civilians and wounding many others in cold blood. Two homes in the Al-Nasr neighborhood and Shati refugee camp were reduced to rubble, claiming eight lives.

Eyewitnesses described the horror as Israeli forces bombed a mosque in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood, which was providing refuge to displaced Palestinians, early Wednesday. In Zeitoun, two more were killed and ten injured, with rescuers desperately searching for survivors buried under collapsed homes. A grieving mother and her young child were among those slain in Tel al-Hawa, highlighting Israel's indiscriminate targeting of the most vulnerable.

In Deir al-Balah, a flimsy tent housing innocent civilians was incinerated by Israeli strikes, killing four. The Bureij refugee camp endured airstrikes on a school shelter and a residential home, leaving six dead and countless traumatized. In Nuseirat refugee camp, five Palestinians were executed in bombings that demolished homes, while another assault claimed nine lives — including four children — with nine others still missing beneath the debris, their fates uncertain amid the chaos.

In Al-Mawasi, western Khan Younis — an area falsely promoted as a humanitarian zone — Israeli forces rained death on tents sheltering uprooted families, slaughtering eight people, among them three precious children. Gaza's medical teams, operating under dire conditions, warned that the death toll will climb higher as critically wounded fighters for survival succumb and volunteer rescuers dig through mountains of rubble for the trapped.

These barbaric attacks defy the ceasefire that began on October 10, part of a 20-point framework mediated by US President Donald Trump, which promised hostage-prisoner exchanges (Israeli captives for nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees), Gaza's reconstruction, and a Hamas-independent governance structure.

Palestinian health officials and international observers condemned the strikes as calculated war crimes against civilians, intensifying Gaza's catastrophic humanitarian nightmare — where food, water, medicine, and shelter remain scarce under Israel's suffocating blockade.

Since the genocidal campaign launched in October 2023, Israeli forces have martyred over 68,500 Palestinians — predominantly women and children — and wounded more than 170,000, turning Gaza into a graveyard of shattered dreams and unbroken resistance. (ILKHA)
