In a devastating attack, Israeli forces have killed 11 members of a Palestinian family in Gaza's Zeitoun neighborhood, the deadliest single breach of the fragile ceasefire since it took effect eight days ago. The brutal killing occurred on Friday evening when an Israeli tank shell struck a civilian vehicle carrying the Abu Shaaban family.
Seven children and three women were among those killed in the attack, according to Gaza's civil defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal. Basal condemned the incident, stating that "what happened confirms that the occupation is still thirsty for blood, and insists on committing crimes against innocent civilians." The attack highlights the dire situation in Gaza, where many Palestinians lack access to reliable information due to limited internet connectivity.
The Israeli military has claimed that the yellow lines marking the ceasefire zones will be clearly marked soon. However, this does little to alleviate concerns about the ongoing occupation of approximately 53% of Gaza by Israel. According to Al Jazeera's reporting, Israeli forces continue to control key areas and restrict aid deliveries, including food and medical supplies.
In the past week alone, at least five Palestinians have been killed in Gaza City, with Israeli forces also restricting access to the Rafah crossing with Egypt. The United Nations has warned of widespread malnutrition and famine in the enclave, with 49% of people accessing less than six liters of drinking water per day.
Hamas has condemned the attack as a "massacre" and called for international pressure on Israel to respect the ceasefire agreement. The group has also continued to push for the release of Israeli captives, despite limited excavating machinery and cooperation from Israel.
The ongoing crisis in Gaza serves as a stark reminder of the need for humanitarian aid and an end to the violence. As Al Jazeera's reporting highlights, the situation on the ground is dire, with many families struggling to access basic necessities due to the restrictions imposed by Israeli forces.
