Israel Escalates Assaults on Gaza, Committing Brutal Massacres as Genocide Reaches Day 401

Gaza (Quds News Network)- As the Israeli genocide in Gaza entered its 401st day, Israeli warplanes intensified their bombardment, resulting in the deaths and injuries of dozens, and the destruction of residential buildings in northern Gaza. The relentless airstrikes have sparked fears of an imminent famine as Palestinians face worsening conditions under the Israeli siege.

Overnight, the city of Gaza and its northern regions were hit by a series of air raids. In one of the deadliest attacks, Israeli jets targeted a house in Jabalia, collapsing it on families and displaced children taking refuge inside. The strike killed at least 33 Palestinians, with many still missing beneath the rubble.

Israeli warplanes also encircled Kamal Adwan Hospital with a barrage of airstrikes, raising concerns over the safety of civilians and medical staff. Concurrently, attacks were reported in Al-Alami and Abu Qamar areas within Jabalia, where residential buildings were demolished.

Since early October, Israel has intensified its military operations in northern Gaza, aiming to isolate the region and forcibly displace its residents. The ongoing offensive has resulted in over 1,500 Palestinian deaths, with thousands more forced to flee to central Gaza. Humanitarian aid has been cut off, with international experts warning of a looming famine due to the severe blockade.

In other parts of Gaza, an airstrike on a home in the Sabra neighborhood claimed the lives of five Palestinians, while early morning raids targeted Tal Al-Hawa, causing multiple casualties. Southern areas, such as the outskirts of Al-Zaytoun, were also subjected to artillery fire.

In central Gaza, the Israeli navy shelled the western side of Al-Nusairat refugee camp, adding to the devastation. Medical sources reported that more than 40 Palestinians were killed on Saturday alone, with 24 of the fatalities occurring in the north.

Marking over 400 days of relentless bombardment, the Gaza Government Media Office reported a staggering toll: more than 53,000 Palestinians killed or missing, with women and children accounting for nearly 30,000 of the dead.
