Over 200 days has passed since the counteroffensive of the Palestinian national resistance front and the beginning of the genocidal operation of Israel against Gaza.
After the withdrawal of the IDF from the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, mass graves of hundreds of people, among them children, medical staff and patients of the hospital, have been discovered. Some of the people had been killed and buried naked with their hands tied. Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman, Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis stated that “there were signs of field executions. We do not know if they were buried alive or executed.”
UN investigation to the Israeli allegations that UNRWA staff participated in the action of 7th of October has found no evidence to support the claim, and neither has Israel been able to provide any. The imperialists used these allegations as a pretext for cutting off the funding of the UNRWA, worsening the lack of food and water in Gaza.
On the occupied West Bank, actions of the national resistance are increasing. On Sunday the 21st of April the IDF reported that two Palestinians attacked its soldiers near Hebron. In addition, it is reported that Abu Shujaa, commander of the Tulkarem Brigade, has reemerged and was greeted joyfully by the masses after the IDF claimed it had killed him during the operation against the Nur Shams refugee camp last week.
In social medias, a video of a booby trap action in the occupied West Bank, in which an Israeli settler who tried to kick a flag that was mined, was injured, has been circulating:
Al-Qassam Brigades reports it is shelling the Shoumera military base from Southern Lebanon with rockets. It has also published a video of targeting a military D9 bulldozer.
Hezbollah also reported on the 21st of April having targeted enemy soldiers at the Shoumera settlement and hitting and destroying newly installed intelligence equipment around the Doiv barracks. In addition, it targeted Israeli soldiers south of the Jal al-Alam site with Burkan missiles, and destroying intelligence equipment at the Al-Malikiyah site.
On the 23rd of April Hezbollah launched its deepest yet attack on Israeli territory since October 7th, launching drone attacks against military bases in the town of Acre.
