DaysofPal –The Israeli occupation continues its devastating war on the Gaza Strip for the 617th consecutive day, marked by relentless aerial and ground attacks. These sustained assaults have led to thousands of civilian deaths and injuries, reinforcing accusations of an ongoing campaign of genocide.
For the fifth day in a row, Gaza remains under a complete communications and internet blackout. Palestinian telecommunications crews have been blocked from reaching damaged areas, preventing vital maintenance and cutting off the population from the outside world.
According to the latest data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, since March 18, 2025, Israeli aggression has killed 4,924 Palestinians and injured 15,780 others. This raises the cumulative toll since October 7, 2023, to at least 55,207 martyrs and 127,821 injured civilians.
Palestine Online field reporters documented a series of Israeli strikes across the besieged enclave in recent hours:
-
Nuseirat: Al-Awda Hospital confirmed the deaths of eight civilians and injuries to at least 125 more after Israeli aircraft bombed a crowd waiting for aid near the so-called “Netzarim checkpoint.”
-
Gaza City: Israeli naval forces opened heavy fire on Palestinians gathered for humanitarian aid near Al-Nabulsi roundabout, killing and injuring multiple civilians.
-
Al-Tuffah Neighborhood: Israeli artillery shelled residential zones in eastern Gaza City, while simultaneous gunfire targeted tents housing displaced people in the Asdaa area, north of Khan Younis.
-
Northwestern Gaza City: Civil defense teams reported the deaths of four displaced civilians and injuries to others after Israeli naval shelling struck tents near Al-Khaldi Mosque.
-
Jabalia al-Balad, Northern Gaza: An Israeli airstrike targeted the home of the Dabbour family, wounding several residents.
The escalation comes amid a worsening humanitarian catastrophe. Aid routes remain unreliable, distribution is routinely attacked, and starvation continues to spread across the Strip, particularly among children. These attacks on civilians — many of whom were simply waiting for food — are seen as part of a calculated policy of using siege, hunger, and terror as weapons of war.
International condemnation continues to grow, but no meaningful accountability has yet been enforced. The prolonged assault on Gaza raises urgent questions about the role of global actors in enabling these atrocities, especially as communications blackouts hide many of the crimes being committed in real-time.
