Bloody Night in Gaza Left Homes in Ruins, Entire Families Wiped out from Civil Registry
DayofPal– The Israeli occupation forces have intensified their aerial assault on the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, last night, launching a relentless wave of airstrikes that obliterated more than 25 homes across various neighborhoods.
Al-Hadath newspaper correspondent in Gaza reported that 25 homes were targeted across Khan Younis's Abasan Al-Kabira, Al-Shuhada, New Abasan, Bani Suheila, Al-Batn Al-Samin, Al-Tahlia, Ma'an, Jouret Al-Lout, and Al-Manara neighborhood.
The homes belong to the families of Al-Masri, Muammar, Al-Ghalban, Abu Daqqa, Abu Lebda, Abu Salah, Baraka, Abu Ta'ima, Abu Nseira, Abu Taha.
In total, Israeli warplanes carried out more than 20 raids on homes in eastern and southern Khan Younis. Among the targets was Al-Fukhari School, which had been sheltering displaced families. The school suffered severe damage under the continuing bombardment.
One of the attacks struck the iconic Al-Qalaa Tower in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, flattening it.
In one of the most harrowing incidents, three entire families from the Abu Salah were wiped off the civil registry after their home was hit in the early hours in Abasan Al-Kabira. Most of the victims were women and children. Rescue teams retrieved several bodies from the rubble and transferred them to Nasser Medical Complex.
Israeli military vehicles also invaded Salah Al-Din Street near the European Gaza Hospital, in the south of the Gaza Strip, intensifying the military incursion in eastern Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, the municipality of Jabalia Al-Nazla in northern Gaza reported that residents remain trapped in evacuation zones due to the continuous and heavy shelling. The municipality issued an urgent call for the Red Cross to coordinate immediate humanitarian access to all areas of Jabalia.
Elsewhere, Israeli occupation forces opened heavy fire north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
In a separate attack, Al-Awda Hospital in Tel Al-Zaatar reported that an airstrike struck near its perimeter in northern Gaza, raising concerns over the safety of medical facilities.
Since dawn on Tuesday, medical sources confirmed at least 98 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip. Later, emergency services recovered 11 more bodies and dozens of injured following an air raid on the Nabhan family home on Al-Nazha Street in Jabalia town, northern Gaza.

EU Diplomatic Service: Israel Violating Human Rights Commitments in Gaza
DaysofPal- The European Union's diplomatic service has stated that there are signs that the Israeli occupation violates its human rights obligations under the agreement governing its relationship with the EU. The warning comes amid growing concern in European capitals over the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, now entering its 20th month. According to a report published Saturday, seen by Sanad News Agency, and based on assessments by independent international institutions, the EU said there are indications that Israel may be breaching Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which binds both parties to respect human rights and democratic principles. The report highlights that Israel's continued restrictions on the delivery of food, medicine, medical equipment, and other essential supplies are affecting all residents in the impacted areas of Gaza. Last month, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that the Union would assess whether Israel was complying with the terms of its agreement after more than half of EU member states supported a formal review. Under the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which came into force in 2000, both parties agreed to base their relationship on respect for human rights and democratic principles. The report also criticizes the obstruction of humanitarian aid, the Israeli attacks that have resulted in large numbers of casualties, and the targeting of hospitals and medical facilities, as well as the forced displacement of civilians and the lack of accountability. In addition, it addresses the situation in the occupied West Bank, including the increasing violence by settlers against Palestinians. The findings are based on verified facts and independent international evaluations, focusing on recent developments in Gaza and the West Bank. Since October 7, 2023, with full backing from the United States, the Israeli occupation forces have waged a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed or injured over 185,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women, with over 10,000 still missing. The war has caused widespread destruction and a deadly famine and is considered one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world today. Shortlink for this post:

UN: Israel Continues to Block Fuel Shipments into Gaza
DaysofPal- The United Nations confirmed that Israeli occupation forces continue to prevent fuel shipments from entering Gaza for the 16th consecutive week, warning of the catastrophic consequences of these practices on the lives of the people in the besieged strip. UN Secretary-General spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric stated during a press briefing: 'Israel has been preventing the entry of fuel shipments into Gaza for 16 weeks.' He pointed out that UN officials managed to recover a quantity of fuel that was already present at the Tahrir Station in Rafah on the previous Wednesday. According to Dujarric, a limited amount of this fuel was delivered on Thursday to public facilities in southern Gaza, allowing water desalination plants, water distribution trucks, and sewage pumping stations to continue operating. He also revealed that fuel was sent to northern Gaza on Friday but emphasized: 'The fuel shortage is severely restricting operations and leading to reduced working hours and capacity.'

Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil Released, White House Opposes Court Ruling
DaysofPal- Palestinian activist and Columbia University researcher Mahmoud Khalil was released following a federal judge's order to end his 104-day detention. Khalil had been a prominent figure in pro-Palestinian protests opposing the Israeli war on Gaza. He was arrested on March 8 in his university housing in Manhattan amid a controversial crackdown on student-led demonstrations. Former U.S. President Donald Trump had taken a harsh stance on the protests, calling them 'antisemitic' and vowing to deport foreign students who took part. Khalil became the first target of this policy, despite holding lawful permanent residency in the U.S. In a court hearing, District Judge Michael Farbiarz ordered Khalil's release, stating the government had failed to prove he posed any danger to the community or flight risk. The judge also warned that 'there is a suspicion that immigration charges are being used as a tool to punish the petitioner (Khalil), which would be unconstitutional,' pointing to the political motives behind his detention. The White House quickly criticized the ruling. In an official statement, a spokesperson said, 'There is no legal basis for the New Jersey judge's order, who lacks jurisdiction to release Khalil.' The administration added, 'We are confident our position will prevail on appeal and look forward to his removal from the United States.' Khalil has previously stated that his arrest was politically motivated, in clear violation of his First Amendment rights. Shortlink for this post:
