For the sixth consecutive day, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) escalated their offensive on the Gaza Strip, continued their indiscriminate and intense air, sea, and land strikes as part of their collective punishment and retaliation policy.

IOF targeted more residential buildings over its residents, massacring entire families, and destroyed the infrastructure in city centers and densely populated neighborhoods. They also targeted agricultural lands, governmental facilities, and military sites belonging to Palestinian armed groups, rendering the Gaza Strip an unsafe zone.

The forced displacement of thousands of residents from their houses in the eastern Gaza Strip continued due to the violent artillery shelling and the firing of smoke grenades which spread bad smells and caused nausea and eye irritation. On its 73rd anniversary, this scene reminded us of the Palestinian Nakba.
