More Bombings and Massacres

On the 21st day of the Israeli war on Gaza, the occupation army continued to bomb civilians and commit new massacres in different areas of the besieged Strip. The Israeli planes even targeted residential areas, causing harm to innocent people.

Internet Blackout and Ground Operations

The Government Information Office in Gaza announced a complete blackout of communications and the Internet. Meanwhile, Israel confirmed the expansion of its ground operations, which led to intense and unprecedented bombardment.
