The Israeli occupation forces continue their intense military assault on the Gaza Strip, intensifying artillery, air, and naval bombardments across multiple areas on Sunday. These ongoing attacks have resulted in the martyrdom of two Palestinians and injuries to several others, including civilians in heavily populated residential areas and displacement tents.
Medical sources confirmed the death of Abdullah Hassouna, who succumbed to severe wounds sustained days earlier in an Israeli airstrike targeting his family’s tent in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, which caused multiple casualties among unarmed civilians.
Local sources also mourned the death of Samir Abu Yunis, a senior commander in the Al-Qassam Brigades and leader of the Rafah Brigade, killed amid extensive Israeli military operations targeting field personnel throughout the besieged Gaza region.
Israeli artillery heavily shelled southern Khan Younis, causing widespread property destruction, alongside drone airstrikes and naval gunfire targeting the western shores to intimidate fishermen and displaced persons.
In central Gaza, Israeli forces continuously fired towards northeastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp, while artillery shelling struck eastern neighborhoods of Deir al-Balah, compounding hardships amid frequent incursions.
Gaza City witnessed similar escalation with intensified shelling on eastern Tuffah neighborhood near the border, alongside naval bombardment blocking civilian access to coastal areas.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian Red Crescent launched a relief convoy named “Zad Al-Izza” (Provision of Honor), convoy No. 312, carrying over 2,759 tons of aid including food parcels, flour, medical supplies, tents, and winter clothing to assist displaced families facing harsh weather and worsening humanitarian conditions.
The shipment included more than 602 tons of fuel critical for powering generators in hospitals, vital facilities, and bakeries, addressing severe fuel shortages caused by border closures and restrictions imposed by the occupying forces.
This aid convoy forms part of ongoing efforts to alleviate the escalating humanitarian crisis amid the blockade and continued hostilities as winter approaches.
