Local sources confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces targeted two homes belonging to the Zaarab and Joudeh famililies, resulting in the killing of 11 Palestinians and multiple injuries.

Earlier in the night, at least two people were killed and others injured in Israeli attacks on the homes of the Sabbah and Afana families in the Al-Sikka Street area, east of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

The complex is reportedly experiencing a critical situation due to the shortage of medical resources, and fuel is expected to run out within the next 24 hours, endangering the lives of patients, including six under artificial respiratory support in the intensive care unit and three infants in the nursery. The emergency department and surgical wards are operating without adequate medical care fo

Amman: Protests against the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza were held in Amman and other governorates of the Kingdom following Friday prayer.

Participants denounced the crimes committed by the occupation on the 147th day of the brutal aggression and the Nabulsi roundabout massacre, in which hundreds of Palestinians were injured and dozens killed as a result of the occupation army using live ammunition to target them as they waited for aid in the besieged northern Gaza Strip.

They demanded that the world community and international organizations put an end to the mass murder and genocidal war against starving civilians, which aims to depopulate Gaza and its neighboring regions by extending the period of starvation and utilizing it as a weapon in the brutal conflict.

The participants expressed their appreciation for Jordan’s unwavering positions, led by His Majesty King Abdullah II, to support and stand by our brothers in Gaza. This was demonstrated by the airdrops that the
Arab Army, operating under the King’s direct guidance and supervision, carried out to provide relief to the Gaza Strip’s residents while reaffirming their support for His Majesty.
