The Israeli military launched fresh land, sea, and air strikes on Al-Mawasi, south of Gaza, early Thursday, targeting and hitting the human-occupied area, WAFA.
The military, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA on the situation of in Al-Mawasi, bombarded an area previously marked out as a “safe zone”.
The troops attacked the Gaza town, as WAFA also claimed, with “navy boats firing heavy machine guns” into Al-Mawasi, a 16-kilometer-long strip found in the city of Rafah.
Tensions of war continue to rage, with neither party not yet willing to accept ceasefire conditions, including the US-backed Israeli proposal for ceasefire and hostages release.
It’s barely a week after the Israeli military celebrated its successful rescue of four Israeli hostages abducted by the Hamas militants.
But military operation in “Western Rafah does not appear to be waning anytime soon”, of which the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Rafah told CNN that ‘it had received information from Israeli authorities that fighting will continue in western Rafah.’
World leaders, human rights groups, and other all members of the international community urge both sides to accept ceasefire and hostage proposal.
Qatari Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, on Wednesday, said Israel and Hamas have “on different occasions delayed the efforts to accept ceasefire proposal”.
“We have seen the behavior from both parties (Israel and Hamas) on different occasions being counterproductive to the efforts,”Al-Thani said.
“While we are respecting our role as mediator, we are trying our best not to consider ourselves as, you know, the party of that conflict.”
Last UN’s inquiry into the first few months of the war in Gaza proved both Israel and Hamas committed ‘war crimes and violated the international law.
Human casualties and deaths double each day, which the UN relief chief , Martin Griffiths, on Wednesday, said “more than a million Palestinians “are expected to face death and starvation by the middle of July.”
The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Griffiths also in his Wednesday comments on Israel-Gaza war said G7 leaders must act to stop famine in the 21st century which he described as a “preventable scourge”.
“Famine in the 21st century is a preventable scourge. G7 leaders can and must wield their influence to help stop it. Waiting for an official declaration of famine before acting would be a death sentence for hundreds of thousands of people and a moral outrage,” Griffiths added.
