The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has been definitively archived, fighting has resumed and the scenes are once again images of destroyed buildings and victims. Israel is carrying its attack to the south of Gaza. Tanks entered Khan Younis and Israeli shelling killed more than five hundred Palestinians in two days, according to Gaza Health Ministry data.
It is feared that the military operations will be bloodier than previous ones, as the south hosts previously evacuated civilians.
According to Al Jazeera, at least nine people died in the attack near Rafah. The raid could have hit a residential building in the Al Tanur neighborhood, destroying it. Among the victims of Israeli attacks is a volunteer from the Palestinian Red Crescent: Osama Tayeh. According to the same organization, Tayeh was at his home in Al Faluja, northern Gaza, when he was shot dead.
Meanwhile, today, the news of the death in Gaza of 21-year-old Yonatan Samerano from Tel Aviv, who was injured in the massacre at the Nova festival in Reim on October 7 and taken hostage by Hamas, came. The young man had tried to escape by reaching the nearby Reim kibbutz, where another group of terrorists kidnapped him.
More than 5 thousand children were killed in 48 days
Regarding the resumption of clashes in Gaza after a seven-day ceasefire, UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said, “The Gaza Strip is once again the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.” “Before the break,” he added, “more than 5,300 Palestinian children were reported killed in 48 days of continuous bombings, a figure that does not include the many children still missing and likely buried under rubble if the violence had returned.” Due to its scale and intensity, we can assume that hundreds more children will be killed and injured every day, and if we cannot deliver water, food, medical supplies, blankets and warm clothing to those in need, we will face a humanitarian crisis. disaster. The humanitarian pause made it possible to increase essential aid deliveries to Gaza and the wider region. The organization’s representative explained that Unicef and its partners were able to significantly increase operations and programs. What we were able to start with was not enough to meet the scale of humanitarian needs. “We now need safer and more predictable access to reach injured, displaced and traumatized children,” added Catherine Russell. And we need to get help to children who are left vulnerable due to the incoming cold and wet weather. Children need a permanent humanitarian ceasefire. We call on all parties to ensure that children are protected and assisted in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law. “All children of the State of Palestine and Israel deserve peace and hope for a better future.”

Hamas leaders play cards for the army
Ten thousand decks of playing cards were distributed to Israeli Israeli soldiers in Gaza, each containing 52 photographs of senior Hamas figures, including the terrorist group’s leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, and shadowy leader of the wing soldier Mohammed Deif. This was reported by the Israeli portal Ynet. The cards also serve as an identification tool for soldiers in the war aiming to eliminate or capture all Hamas leaders.
A similar initiative was undertaken by the US military after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, when it distributed bundles containing pictures of people wanted by Saddam Hussein’s regime. Also in Ukraine last year, the Kiev army created playing cards to provide soldiers with the faces of the most wanted Russian generals.
