The only bakery in Khan Younis has been shut down, worsening the suffering of over 1.2 million people.
The Gaza Government Media Office attributes this to Israel’s “starvation policy,” which has caused most goods to vanish from markets in both the southern and northern Gaza Strip.
This has led to skyrocketing prices and a deepening bread crisis. Since the beginning of the ongoing genocide, more than 250,000 aid trucks have been blocked, intensifying the humanitarian disaster.
For Israel, it’s a first nation-wide alert with 24th November, 2024 likely to be remembered as one of the most difficult days between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters.
Over 250 missiles have landed on different parts of Israel including Naharya, Acca, Haifa, Beith Takfah, West Galilee, Krayot, HaSharon, Herzilya, Tel Aviv and the port of Ashdod, bordering Gaza, which is 150 kilometers away from Tel Aviv.
It speaks much about the encroachment of the so-called “Israeli depth” that today lies bare with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north.

This is being described as “unprecedented” in a wide set of attacks covering at least half of Israel and is trending on the social media with its continual updates.
It began on early Sunday morning, after Israeli warplanes bombed the southern district of Beirut leading to many deaths and injuries.
The rockets on northern Israel that included military bases near Tel Aviv had been climbing from 150 missiles, some of who are ballistic to 170 with the latest figure standing at 200 and 250 and set to increase.
Damages and fires is being reported in the Israeli media with at least 10 people being injured but this is being described as the “war of missiles.”
With these projectiles landing on Israel daily – they increased in intensity when Israeli decided to stage its air and land war on Lebanon last September with the killing of Hezbollah’s Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the escalation on the Jewish state have continued daily.
The only people that seems to be affected by this are civilians. Whilst Israel’s war on Lebanon have displaced 1.4 million people in the south of the country, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have also been displaced from their homes and living in sheltered accommodation.
But apart from that up to two million Israelis in central Israel and the Tel Aviv conurbation have been “running up-and-down” between underground shelters.

Today sirens dominate the Israeli scene, going on and off on all hours of the day, at night, early mornings, when people are asleep and during the day.
The rockets, missiles, sirens have made life so unbearable that life has changed dramatically with hundreds thousands already left the country and many more thousands are thinking of actively getting out.
Today, the atmosphere in Israel – never been experienced before and judged from the siren blasts at 401 sound alerts in 11 regions – is tense and downright frightful, a bit like Gaza or the southern district of Beirut. Its no longer the place its original founders intended it to be.
The new message is “you can’t enjoy yoursleves while living on the lands of another people; all must suffer the consequences. Israelis are realizing that. Their way out is through the congested Ben Gurion Airport which is topsy-turvy shutdown due to the daily missiles and drones.
Gazan witness Imad Hamdan describes a deeply emotional and tragic situation, where a bereaved mother from Gaza is given an offer by a gravedigger about the way to burry her two children.
The mother, in a state of shock, responds by suggesting that perhaps her third child, who is in critical condition in the ICU, can be buried next to her siblings.
At this situation, Imad Hamdan expresses the overwhelming anguish and the madness of a situation that Gazan mothers undergo in the current relentless war, describing it as so unfathomable that it pushes the limits of human understanding.
