As Israel continues to shell Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Israeli planes and artillery continue to strike the central Gaza Strip from all directions.
Resistance remains fierce at all axes with no signs of it slowing down or weakening, while Israeli hospitals report increasing Israeli military casualties.
Palestinian civilians, however, remain the main victims of the war.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 22,438 Palestinians have been killed, and 57,614 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

YAIR LAPID: Leaks from the Ministerial Council meeting are a disgrace and evidence of the danger of the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
ההדלפות מהקבינט אמש הן חרפה ועוד הוכחה שהקבינט הזה מסוכן. מדינת ישראל חייבת להחליף את הממשלה והעומד בראשה. האנשים האלה אינם ראויים להקרבה ולגבורה של לוחמי ולוחמות צה״ל, ולא יוכלו להוביל הכרעה אסטרטגית. הם צריכים ללכת. עכשיו.
