Gaza: The death toll from the aggression rises to 44,176 martyrs, and Al-Qassam announces the death of an Israeli female prisoner

On the 414th day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, 25 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids on several areas in the Strip since dawn today, while the Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - announced the death of an Israeli prisoner due to the ongoing aggression on the northern Gaza Strip.

In the details, at least 5 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured in Israeli shelling of different areas in Gaza. Three Palestinians were also killed and more than 24 others were injured in Israeli shelling of a house near the displaced people's tents in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian was also killed and others were injured, including children, in a bombing of a house in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Yunis. A Palestinian woman was also killed and others were injured in an air strike that targeted a residential apartment in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

In addition, Israeli aircraft bombed Al-Farouq Mosque in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip and completely destroyed it. Explosions also occurred north of the Nuseirat camp and the Al-Magrafa area in the central Gaza Strip as a result of the detonation of buildings near the Netzarim axis, which separates Gaza City and its north from the central region and the southern Gaza Strip.

The occupation also targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, while continuing to blow up buildings near the Netzarim axis.

In the latest death toll and injuries in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today, Saturday, that the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 44,176 martyrs and 104,473 injured since October 7, 2023.

The ministry said in its daily report that the Israeli occupation committed 7 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 120 martyrs and 205 wounded arriving at hospitals during the past 48 hours, adding that a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) considered the continuation of the genocide in northern Gaza and the Israeli occupation attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia as a disregard for humanity, norms and laws, calling on Arab and Islamic governments and the United Nations to impose deterrent sanctions on the occupation to stop its aggression.

Israel continues its massacres, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end them immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Killing of a female prisoner

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced the death of an Israeli female prisoner due to the ongoing aggression on the northern Gaza Strip, and said that Israel must prepare to deal with the problem of the disappearance of the bodies of its prisoners.

Qassam spokesman Abu Obeida said via his Telegram account: “After the return of communication that had been cut off for weeks with the mujahideen tasked with protecting the enemy’s prisoners, it became clear that one of the female prisoners was killed in an area subjected to Zionist aggression in the northern Gaza Strip.”

He stressed that the danger "still threatens the life of another female prisoner who was with her," adding that the widespread destruction in the Strip and the martyrdom of some of the captors led to the disappearance of the bodies of some of the prisoners.

Abu Obeida held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he described as a war criminal, his government and his army leaders "fully responsible for the lives of their prisoners," and said that they "are the ones who insist on causing their suffering and death."

In contrast, the Israeli army said it was examining information about a clip published by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) "showing the killing of a kidnapped woman," explaining that it could not deny or confirm its authenticity at the moment.

Meanwhile, dozens of Israelis demonstrated in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, demanding a prisoner exchange deal. The Prisoners' Families Authority said Netanyahu was not stopping the war "in order to evade trial."

The prisoners' families demanded - in a press conference from Tel Aviv - to sign an agreement to return the prisoners, and they said that the army "can return to work in Gaza later if necessary", stressing that not reaching an agreement "means that the entire people will know that you are the reason for killing the prisoners who were alive".

In their statement, the prisoners' families demanded that "Netanyahu be investigated on charges of endangering Israel's security and the lives of the prisoners."
