Why Butcher Khan Younis Again?

The Israeli army continues to slaughter Khan Younis with no mercy after its new air and ground onslaught which it began Monday non-stop.

In just 48 hours after its aggression, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported 129 martyrs were killed as a result of the Israeli aggression.

It also reported that 416 injured and more than 100 of these have not reached the already-barely functioning hospitals in the city that had been virtually destroyed by Israeli attacks.

The media office states that 44 persons are currently missing presumed to be under the rubble as a result of the Israeli bombings described as the worst in months that began soon after 7 October, 2023.

The media officers which monitor the ongoing Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip says that so far only 82 families have been evacuated while stating that appeals are being made by 1,350 besieged families.

It stated as well that the homes of 22 families were bombed while they were living in them – in another words, over their heads. This is in addition to 237 houses and residential buildings that were also bombed.

Through eyewitness accounts the media office states the bombing was extensive with 208 raids and bombardments through Israeli warplanes and tanks firing arbitrarily.

Despite the fact that the Israeli army is forcing new Palestinian displacement with an estimated 150,000 from the city and those towns and villages surrounding it, soldiers are targeting everything that moves on the Salah Al Din Street in Khan Younis.

They are also obstructing any coordination agreement to reach the injured and those that have been killed and martyred in violation of international law.

Israel is forcing Palestinians to move multiple times with repeat displacement and restructuring human geography whilst threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of injured, sick, pregnant women, the elderly and with special needs and exposing to deaths.

As shown by videos and people on the ground, Israeli is committing horrific massacres in east of Khan Younis

 “We hold the Israeli occupation and the American administration fully responsible for the continuation of these massacres against civilians and the loss of hundreds of lives,” the Government Media Office maintains.

 And ends by saying “we call on the international community and all countries of the free world to stop this shame, these crimes, and these massacres immediately and urgently.”

Khan Yunis is already a woeful and sorry city and has been destroyed by the Israeli army which had waged war on it from early December, 2023, till late March 2024. They literally distroyed everything there that is civilian related yet they couldn’t get to Hamas and the rest of the Palestinian resistance groups.
