DaysofPal – Israeli occupation aircraft launched airstrikes at dawn on Thursday, coinciding with continuous artillery shelling of the Zeitoun neighborhood (southeast of Gaza City). The Israeli army destroyed 300 homes in three days, following the approval of a plan to completely occupy the Gaza Strip.
This comes a day after hospitals documented the deaths of 100 Palestinians as a result of Israeli shelling on various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn yesterday, including 38 aid recipients.
The Zeitoun neighborhood, one of the largest neighborhoods in Gaza City and located in the southeastern part of the city, has been subjected to an ongoing military operation for several days, including shelling and the demolition of homes, resulting in the displacement and massacres of Palestinian families still inside.
The southern areas of the Zeitoun neighborhood are adjacent to the Gaza Valley, which the Israeli army calls the Netzarim Axis, and this area is under Israeli control. Palestinians are prohibited from settling there or traveling there, except to receive alleged American aid.
In this context, Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, told Anadolu Agency that the Israeli army has been carrying out a concentrated military operation in the Zeitoun neighborhood for several days, including intensive shelling and house demolition.
The Palestinian spokesman added that the Israeli army has destroyed more than 300 homes in the neighborhood over the past three days, committing massacres against a number of Palestinian families after blowing up the homes with their occupants inside.
He explained that the occupation army is carrying out the demolition operations using high-explosive bombs that destroy the surroundings of the targeted home, with the aim of inflicting maximum damage.
The Civil Defense spokesman confirmed that the Israeli army has, during this short period, begun intensively targeting inhabited residential buildings, some of which are more than five stories tall, spreading terror among their residents and forcing some to flee.
