Palestinian Succumbs to Zionist War Injuries
Another Palestinian has succumbed to wounds he sustained during Israel’s recent atrocious offensive against the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medical sources said on Saturday that Jamal Abu Lebda died at a hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The 50-year-old man was seriously injured nearly two months ago when Israeli forces attacked the city of Khan Yunis, which lies in the southern part of the blockaded enclave.
The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s offensive on the Gaza Strip is on the rise as more people are succumbing to injuries they sustained during the war.
The Israeli regime launched its war on Gaza on July 8 and later expanded its military campaign with a ground invasion of the Palestinian territory.
Gaza health officials say nearly 2,140 Palestinians, including 577 children, were killed in the Israeli onslaught. Over 11,100 others, including 3,374 children, 2,088 women and 410 elderly people, were injured.
Tel Aviv says 72 Israelis were killed in the conflict, but the Palestinian resistance says the number is much higher.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement has said it fired over 3,000 rockets on dozens of Israeli cities during the Israeli war, which ended on August 26 with an Egyptian-brokered truce.
The United Nations has estimated that 400,000 Gazan children are in need of psychological care as a result of not just the latest onslaught on the territory but the three previous acts of Israeli military aggression since 2006.
Zionist entity to continue building settler units in al-Quds despite fury
The Zionist government announces it will press ahead with its settlement expansion plan in the city of al-Quds (Jerusalem) despite growing international criticism.
“We will continue to build and develop [the settlement construction projects in al-Quds] without apologizing for it,” said Moshe Ya’alon, Israel’s minister of military affairs, dismissing the international criticism over the move.
The city’s mayor Nir Barkat also said that the construction plans in the occupied Palestinian territories will continue “with full force.”
The Zionist entity has come under mounting global pressure after the Israeli NGO, Peace Now, revealed a plan under which more than 26,000 settler units are going to be built in the Givat Hamatos neighborhood of East al-Quds.
The United States, the European Union as well as rights groups have condemned Israel, urging it to stop its settlement expansion projects on Palestinian land.
Palestine Liberation Organization official Hanan Ashrawi has also slammed the plan to build more settler units, saying the entity was more interested in “stealing land than making peace.”
