On Saturday, thousands of Palestinians sought refuge following Israel’s cautionary advice to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip in anticipation of an impending ground offensive against Hamas. This directive came exactly one week after the deadliest terrorist attack in Israeli history.
Israel, resolute in its commitment to eliminate Hamas, has amassed ground forces and tanks in the vicinity of Gaza, complemented by the distribution of leaflets instructing civilians to vacate the northern region of the enclave. The Israeli military has conducted targeted operations with the aim of purging the area of both terrorists and weaponry.
Disturbingly, the past 24 hours have witnessed a significant increase in casualties, with over 320 Palestinians losing their lives, including numerous women and children, predominantly as a result of Israeli airstrikes on convoys fleeing Gaza City.
This mounting toll coincides with Israel’s persistent aerial bombardment of Gaza, which transpired subsequent to the government’s advisement to 1.1 million residents to relocate southward, in anticipation of an imminent ground offensive, following Hamas’s attack inside Israel last week.
To date, the total count of Palestinian casualties stands at 2,215 killed and 8,714 wounded due to Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. Meanwhile, in Israel, the death toll has reached 1,300, with over 3,400 reported injuries.
In the midst of the enduring Israel-Palestine conflict, the world has witnessed a stark division in opinions, with millions of individuals aligning themselves with one side or the other. This international issue has not only stirred geopolitical discussions but has also prompted prominent Pakistani celebrities to engage in the discourse.
Atif Aslam took to his Instagram to pray for the Palestinians saying “Allah apna reham ferma”
