TEHRAN – Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, the Israeli regime continues to trample on the rights of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The besieged Palestinian territories face sustained attacks by Israel, demonstrating that there is no real security or peace on the ground. In a recent incident, an occupation regime drone bombed the Shujaya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, seriously injuring a Palestinian child.
Israeli artillery also shelled Bani Suhaira, east of Khan Yunis, and attacked the Tufa and Darazi districts east of Gaza City. This comes as Israeli occupation forces open fire on the southeastern region of Khan Yunis, where residents are already living in damaged homes and overcrowded shelters.
These attacks, which included the killing of nearly 150 Palestinians in a single day, further demonstrate how the US-brokered ceasefire has been a farce that does little to stop the Zionist regime’s military aggression or protect civilians. Analysts say the regime’s continued attacks during the declared ceasefire highlight the lack of enforcement and accountability for such agreements.
ongoing genocide
For Palestinians, the situation remains the same: daily shelling by the occupying regime, limited access to aid, and no sense of peace. The US ceasefire has not brought peace. It only exposed the gap between diplomatic statements and the reality of everyday violence in Gaza.
One of the criteria for the crime of genocide is the intentional infliction of living conditions calculated to bring about the total or partial physical destruction of a group of people.
The Israeli regime’s ongoing blockade of Gaza is creating just such a situation.
The United Nations said Friday that regime authorities have rejected 107 requests for entry for vital aid since the October 10 ceasefire.
Palestinians face severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine as vital supplies are blocked. As winter approaches, reports of hunger are resurfacing as families struggle to survive without shelter or proper nutrition.
Aid agencies say trucks carrying nutrition, fuel and medical supplies are being delayed or denied access, exacerbating the humanitarian disaster. Experts argue that this deliberate restriction of life-support supplies reflects the Zionist regime’s intention to destroy Palestinian life by depriving civilians of their means of survival.
Despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations aimed at moving into the second phase of the so-called peace plan, the regime’s harsh blockade shows that Palestinian suffering is systemic, not random.
Legal scholars and human rights organizations have warned that these actions meet the standards of a genocidal campaign that uses starvation, disease, and exposure as weapons to bring about the total or partial physical destruction of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
growing profession
Palestinian media reported that Israeli bulldozers continued to destroy homes in southeastern Khan Yunis.
The demolition of houses east and southeast of Khan Yunis appears to be part of a broader plan to consolidate and expand the Israeli regime’s illegal occupation of besieged Palestinian territory.
The systematic destruction of Palestinian housing not only clears land but also serves to dismantle the social and physical fabric of Palestinian life, facilitating the maintenance of long-term occupation and control.
By erasing residential areas and displacing families, the Zionist regime is effectively consolidating its territorial control and creating new occupied territories that extend its military and administrative control deep into Gaza.
This process mirrors earlier patterns in other occupied territories, where destruction and land clearance preceded permanent management and illegal settlement infrastructure.
Analysts say the ongoing operation aims to alter Gaza’s geography, turning it from a densely populated Palestinian territory into a divided zone under continued Israeli occupation.
The destruction of homes east of Khan Yunis, on the Egyptian border in Rafah, and east of Gaza City in the north represents essentially more than a temporary military operation. It is a calculated effort to strengthen the occupation, weaken Palestinian claims to land, and redefine the boundaries of sovereignty within the Gaza Strip.
