Gaza death toll reaches 22,835 as Israeli attacks continue
Published in Daily News Egypt on 07 - 01 - 2024

The government media office in Gaza reported that 22,835 people have been killed and 58,416 wounded by the Israeli assault on the besieged territory since it began.
The office denounced the killing of journalists Hamza Wael Al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya by the Israeli army on Sunday. It said that these crimes were aimed at silencing and intimidating the media and hiding the truth from the world.
The office appealed to all media, human rights, and legal organizations to condemn this crime, reject the occupation's repeated violations, and pressure it to end the massacre in Gaza.
The office also said that the number of journalists killed in Gaza since the start of the war rose to 109 after the death of Hamza and Mustafa.
In the meantime, Al-Shifa Medical Complex received 41 bodies on Sunday morning as a result of the Israeli bombing of the city. Palestinian media reported that the Israeli forces shelled areas east of the Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza with air and artillery strikes.
Additionally, Doctors Without Borders announced that it had withdrawn its staff from the central region of Gaza, including Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, due to the increasing attacks by the Israeli army.
The organization said that the situation had become so dangerous that some of its staff living nearby could not leave their homes because of the constant threats from drones and snipers.
Earlier on Sunday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah was under direct attack from Israeli drones.
Similarly, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Sunday that the world could not ignore the plight of the children of Gaza, who were dying and suffering, with their living conditions rapidly worsening.
UNICEF said in a blog post on the X platform that thousands of children in Gaza had already lost their lives in the conflict, while the living conditions of the surviving children continued to deteriorate quickly.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth admitted on Sunday that the Israeli army had failed to achieve the objectives of the war on Gaza despite entering its fourth month, with the highest economic cost, reaching 217 billion shekels ($59.35bn).
The newspaper said that the ground operation, which started at the end of October, had achieved many tactical successes every day, but it had not enabled Israel to accomplish the goals of the war.
On the ground, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, said that they had fired a barrage of mortar shells at Israeli soldiers and vehicles in the Al-Katiba area in central Khan Yunis. They also said that they had hit an enemy position in the Al-Taqadum area in Al-Maghazi camp (central Gaza) with another barrage of mortar shells.
Moreover, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said that they had destroyed an Israeli troop carrier with an "Al-Yassin 105" missile in the Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip.
In a related development, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah " Al-Houthi" movement, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, urged ships to fly the flag "We have no relationship with Israel" when sailing in the Red Sea.
Al-Houthi said – in a tweet on the X website – that "the Yemeni armed forces attack ships heading to Israel only, to stop the terrorist and criminal Israeli aggression and lift the siege on Gaza."
