The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, said Israel practises a “brutal and sadistic” apartheid against Palestinians.

In a separate tweet, following the International Court of Justice’s ruling on Israel’s occupation, Albanese wrote: “Israel’s 57yo occupation is UNLAWFUL, nothing concerning it should be considered as legal by member states & UN agencies alike and Israel must dismantle it at once, together with its illegal settlement enterprise, the apartheid that has sustained it and also offer reparations to the Palestinians.”
The death toll from the intense Israeli occupation bombardment on the eastern areas of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, rose to 77, while more than 30 others are still under the rubble, and about 200 others were injured, including children and women, according to medical sources.
The widespread Israeli aggression on eastern Khan Yunis coincided with the forced displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, amid catastrophic humanitarian and medical conditions as a result of the intense and violent occupation raids.
As the aggression against the Gaza Strip entered its 291st day, the occupation army continued to commit massacres in various parts of the Strip at dawn on Tuesday, which mainly took place next to Khan Yunis, in Gaza City, Jabalia Camp, and Deir al-Balah, which resulted in killing and injuring of dozens of civilians.
In the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, medical sources confirmed to WAFA correspondents that four were killed and others were injured in Israeli raids that targeted homes in the camp.
Israeli occupation aircraft also targeted a house belonging to Al-Jamasi family on Al-Nafaq Street in Al-Sahaba area, killing four citizens and wounding others.
Health sources reported that eight people were killed in an Israeli targeting of a house owned by Al-Daya family on Al-Mughrabi Street in Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.
Sources in the Gaza Civil Defense said that an Israeli bombing targeted a home belonging to Bakr family in Al-Hadba area in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in killing and injuring of a number of people.
The Israeli occupation forces' aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in the killing of 39,006 Palestinians, the majority of whom were women and children, while 89,818 others were injured, as thousands of victims remain under rubble and on the roads where ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
