Today, the situation in Gaza is becoming increasingly critical. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that eight Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes, especially targeting the Nuseirat refugee camp and the Tabat Zare area, east of Rafah. These events are part of a broader context of conflicts that continue to engulf the region.
Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Saeed Iravani, has expressed support for UNRWA, the UN agency dedicated to Palestinian refugees. Iravani condemned the Israeli Knesset’s recent decision to ban the agency’s operations.
Iravani stressed that UNRWA plays a crucial role in providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees. She described recent actions against the agency as an unacceptable attempt to deprive Palestinians of essential services such as education, healthcare and humanitarian aid, highlighting a violation of human rights. The comments come at a time when tensions continue to rise and the international community watches with concern.
According to the Times of Israel, the IDF has expanded its ground operations in the northern Gaza Strip, focusing on the town of Beit Lahia. Israeli forces said they have information about suspected Hamas members active in the area. An estimated 3,000 Palestinians live in Beit Lahia, and the IDF says it has measures in place to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians during military operations. However, fighting has already left one Israeli soldier from the Kfir Brigade seriously injured. Additionally, the IDF reported that approximately 50 Hamas members were killed in the city of Jabalia yesterday. In addition, the Israeli Air Force struck over 110 terrorist targets, both in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, eliminating approximately 60 members of Hezbollah.
The situation remains complex and tense. Recent developments point to an escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, with significant repercussions for the civilian population. The international community is called upon to intervene to find a lasting solution and prevent further human tragedies in the region. The need for dialogue is more urgent than ever, while hopes for sustainable peace seem increasingly distant.
