Gaza authorities report that a minimum of 71 Palestinians have died as Israeli attacks the security forces head of Hamas.
GAZA/JERUSALEM/CAIRO July 13, Reuters The health ministry of the region reported that a total of 71 Palestinians were killed by an Israeli bomb on Monday in a declared emergency zone in Gaza. Israel claimed that the attack was directed towards Mohammed Deif, the military chief of Hamas. Maybe Deif was slain was unknown. "We are currently examining and validating the outcomes of the attack," a representative from the Israeli military informed reporters. In an announcement, the terrorist Islamist organisation Hamas said that Israeli allegations that it attacked group leaders were untrue and intended to rationalise an assault, which was the bloodiest Israeli strike on Gaza in recent weeks.
People who had taken refuge in the area reported that the impact of the attack had destroyed their tents and left physiques and organs scattered across the ground. Relocating to the Al-Mawasi region, Sheikh Youssef, a Gaza City resident, remarked, "I wasn't even able wherever I was or exactly what was happening." "I left the structure and saw anywhere, numerous camp had been ripped down, bones and victims all around, elderly women dumped on the ground, young kids in pieces," he stated to Reuters.
The Israeli military described Deif and Rafa Salama as a pair of the geniuses of the October 7 assault on southern Israel claimed started the nine-month conflict in Gaza. The Israeli government said that the assault also targeted Salama, the leader of Rafah' Khan Younis Brigade. Held accountable for the terrorist killings of several Israelis, Deif has escaped seventeen Israeli murder initiatives that the most recent of which occurred in 2021. For several decades, he has been at the top of Israel's top wanted list.
According to the Gaza health ministry, the strike resulted in at least 71 Palestinian deaths and 289 injuries, making it the bloodiest toll in the conflict-torn region in weeks. The Israeli army has regularly ordered Palestinians to evacuate from other localities and directed them to Al-Mawasi, a designated humanitarian area. Ambulances could be seen rushing towards the scene in Reuters footage amid dust and smoke clouds. Women and children were among the displaced individuals running out in terror, some of them clutching personal items.
"Terrorists concealed between civilians" was written on an Israeli military-published overhead photo of the spot, which Reporters was unable to independently confirm. "The place of residence of the incident comprised a vacant lot bordered by plants, various structures, and sheds," the statement read. According to the Israeli military official, Deif was being guarded by multiple militants at the operational base of Hamas, rather than a tent complex. Numerous casualties of the attack, especially kids and girls, were transferred to the adjacent Nasser Hospital, which according to hospital administrators was "ceased to be able to function" because of the severity of the Israeli operation and a severe lack of medical supplies.
At least 100 individuals, including personnel of the National Protection Service, which are have been killed and injured in the Khan The researchers Younis assault, according to the media office managed by Hamas. Senior Hamas officials referred to the Israeli accusations as "nonsense" and declined to clarify unless Deif was actually present. "What occurred represented a grave intensification of the conflict and an act of mass murder, supported through the backing of the US and global quiet," Sami Abu Zuhri said Reuters. He added that the strike demonstrated Israel's lack of interest in achieving a ceasefire. "All those who died are civilians," he said.
Israel disputes accusations made by critics that it is conducting murder against the Palestinian people. Although the Global Court of Commerce instructed Palestine to take measures in January to avoid crimes of genocide, it identifies what it did as self-defense to avert an assault similar to that on October 7. Israeli counts indicate that in the overseas operation towards southern Israel on October 7, militants led by Hamas murdered 1,200 people and captured over 250 prisoners. Over 38,000 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel's military assault in Gaza in retaliation, according to Gaza's medical authority. Meanwhile on Saturday, Palestinian emergency sources said that an Israeli bombing on a place of worship in a shelter for refugees in west Gaza's capital resulted in the deaths of at least 17 Palestinians.
Witnesses reported that in excess of one rocket was fired and that the Khan Younis incident was unexpected given the quiet conditions in the vicinity. They added that among the injured getting evacuated were rescue personnel. "Everyone has left, even my brothers. Where are they now? They've all vanished, truly vanished. No one remains," a sobbing woman who remained anonymous said. Deif rose through the ranks of Hamas over a 30-year period, developing the organization's tunnel network and bomb-making know-how, according to Hamas sources. Israel claimed to have murdered Deif's substitute, Marwan Issa, in March. Since then, Hamas has not acknowledged nor disputed his passing.
