Toll of the Israeli offensive against Gaza on Saturday topped 33,137 martyrs, mostly children and women, since 7 October.

The Zionist aggression left 75,815 civilians with variable wounds, medical sources said, as thousands of victims are still under debris.

Occupier forces committed 4 carnages against households in Gaza in the last 24 hours, leaving 46 martyred and 65 injured, the sources added.

According to Aljazeera, the fighting is currently raging in Rafah the southern Gaza Strip, and around Khan Younis, also in the south.

“The city of Khan Younis had been the theatre for the Israeli military operations since last December with the Israeli forces trying to impose its full military control of the city” he said.

Earlier, we reported that the military wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, claimed nine Israeli soldiers were killed in the az-Zanna district in eastern Khan Younis and five in the Amal neighbourhood.

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that Israeli soldiers are currently engaged in “brutal and fierce combat at close range” in Khan Younis.

He said Israeli military are also launching air raids against the city and are in the process of destroying three tunnel networks originating there.

In Tel Aviv, Saturday’s turnout of protests is likely to put a lot of pressure on Netanyahu because two different rallies merged, with protesters chanting ‘Netanyahu failed, hostages have to come home now’

“‘The Bring Them Home Campaign’ now joined the anti-government protesters,” he said.

“The former is the advocacy group for the hostages. For six months, they have been demanding the prime minister to release the Palestinian political prisoners and, in turn, get the hostages back,” he added.

Meanwhile, Israeli President Issac Herzog said today that the Israeli army is fighting a “bloody and difficult war” in Gaza, and that the army is fighting to return all the hostages who are still being held.

But protesters are saying “Enough is enough”, Khan continued. “It has been six months and nothing has happened in terms of getting the majority of [capitves] out”.

“All the speeches we heard tonight had two key messages: Netanyahu failed and the hostages have to come home now.”
