The Civil Defense emergency intervention teams recovered the bodies and parts of entire families from the rubble of 20 adjacent houses targeted by warplanes. According to the Ministry of Interior and security, Israel bombed civilian objects without prior warning or warning, and this caused the death of a large number of civilians, including children and women.

"The Gaza Strip witnessed tragic events due to the Israeli military attacks that were almost indiscriminate, mostly focused on civilian homes, which led to the death of a large number of innocent people,"said Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra.

"Israel shelled Jabalia camp, the most densely populated area, and raided the city of khanyons with adjacent houses, and we recorded a large percentage of victims and wounded, including children, women and the elderly, which indicates that Israel is deliberately destroying houses on the heads of its residents,"he adds.

"What Israel has done is genocide, the army has completely removed more than 40 families from the civil register, there are no members left of these families, all of them were killed in a flash, in more than 20 hideous and violent massacres, because of Israel's violation of the rules of international humanitarian law and the bombing of civilian objects," according to Al-Qudra.

What military observers described as "genocide" came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed severe revenge on Hamas, agreeing to turn Gaza into ruins, and "bomb all areas of the Strip with all force".

"What Hamas will go through in Gaza will be difficult and terrible, we are currently launching a terrible attack, it is only the beginning, and what we will do will change the Middle East, and it is inevitable to enter into a ground operation,"Netanyahu said.

Due to the constant raids, hospitals were taken out of medical service. "Beit Hanoun hospital, the only health center in northern Gaza, has been neutralized, and because of the indiscriminate raids, a large number of medical staff, wounded and sick people cannot leave the hospital, and the support teams cannot enter to evacuate them,"said Bashar Murad, director of the Red Crescent.

"Israel targeted the Indonesian hospital, the Nazareth medical complex and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, destroyed 12 ambulances and caused them to be out of service, four ambulance workers were killed and seven others were injured,"he adds.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant also ordered the imposition of a blockade on the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity, water and fuel and preventing the entry of food.

After the closure of Gaza, residents live without internet, without diesel or gasoline, and they are also denied fuel for the electricity company. "We live without power lines from Israel, and we are working on powering up with our stored diesel, which is not enough until Wednesday,"said electricity company spokesman Mohammed Thabet.

As for water, every four individuals share the use of one liter of water. The head of the water authority, Mazen Ghoneim, says that 40 percent of Gaza's population is without water, and because of this, desalination plants, sewage treatment plants, and well water pumping stations have stopped. Disruption of water and sanitation systems will aggravate the humanitarian situation and portend the occurrence of dangerous health aversions, the spread of epidemics and diseases among citizens.

On the part of Israel, its army spokesman Avichai adrai confirms that what they are doing in Gaza comes in the context of the war situation, which requires major operations to strike the "Hamas" force, and acknowledges that the army is launching violent raids on Gaza, as he reveals that combat warplanes have not left the skies of the Strip for 24 hours and launch strikes on large targets.
