With the entry of the "Al-Aqsa Flood " operation on its 380th day, the occupation forces continue to carry out aerial attacks and intense shelling on the Gaza Strip, causing horrific massacres against civilians.
The occupation continues its genocide crimes
The Zionist occupation continues, for the 16th consecutive day, its siege on the northern governorate of the Gaza Strip. This happens amidst escalating crimes of ethnic cleansing and committing horrific massacres that have claimed the lives of hundreds of citizens, the latest of which was in the Beit Lahia project, in addition to targeting hospitals and medical teams, according to the Palestinian news agency.
New massacre in Beit Lahia
About 73 citizens were martyred and dozens were injured last night as a result of the Israeli warplanes bombing a residential area in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian sources reported that Israeli warplanes carried out intense air strikes on the Beit Lahia project, completely destroying a residential area on top of citizens, resulting in the martyrdom of about 73 citizens and the injury of dozens, while many are still under the rubble.
They added that a drone of the type "Quadcopter" fired at the tents of the displaced in the courtyard of Al-Awda Hospital and directly targeted an ambulance.

Calls to besiege the embassies of the occupation
Two leaders in the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" called for besieging the embassies of the Zionist occupation and the United States to pressure for the cessation of massacres and genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Khalil al-Hayya, said: The massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip is a "new chapter in Nazism".
During an interview with Al-Jazeera channel, early Sunday morning, Khalil al-Hayya emphasized that the Israeli massacre in Beit Lahia should not pass without consequences, calling on Arab and Islamic masses to "besiege the embassies of the occupation and the American embassies".
He added: "We must remind everyone of their historical responsibility regarding the criminal massacres committed by the Zionist occupation in the Gaza Strip."
The Hamas leader pointed out that the Israeli occupation is carrying out a planned operation to displace the Palestinian people in northern Gaza.
He affirmed: Our people in the Gaza Strip will not respond to the Israeli generals' plan aimed at displacement.
Azat al-Rashq, a member of the political bureau of the Hamas movement, said: We will not ignore the call for the sons of the nation to escalate their movement against the Zionist enemy and its allies in the war.
He added in a statement to the press: If the embassies of the occupation and its interests around the world were besieged by a continuous, escalating, and open movement before a year ago, specifically since the deliberate hospital massacre - would the enemy dare to commit a massacre in Beit Lahia this morning?!
He emphasized that our enemy does not understand human languages because it is inherently devoid of them, and acts like a ruthless creature that only stops with regret.. If not now, then when?!
"Al-Qassam" targets a Zionist force
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, broadcast today, Sunday, scenes documenting a direct confrontation between its fighters and Zionist forces within a complex ambush west of the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
The scenes, which documented an operation carried out on Friday, October 18, targeted a special Zionist force entrenched in a house with a "RPG" shell, causing direct damage to the building. The armored personnel carrier that carried the force was also targeted.
The footage also showed the targeting of two rescue tanks, as both were directly destroyed, leading to them catching fire.
The video documented Al-Qassam fighters firing intensively at occupation soldiers as they attempted to evacuate dead and wounded from the special force after targeting the building they were entrenched in, in addition to pulling the damaged vehicles from the site of the confrontation.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas, announced today, Sunday, the destruction of a Merkava tank with an unexploded Zionist missile, east of Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.
The Al-Qassam Brigades published a video of the tank being destroyed, indicating that the operation took place two days ago (October 18).
The video showed the preparation of the Zionist missile used to destroy the tank, with one of the resistance members writing "Your goods have returned to you," referring to one of the "Israeli" missiles and shells that did not explode, according to the Palestinian Media Center.
One of the resistance members in the video said: "From Jabalia camp, we dedicate this operation to our martyr leader, Yahya Sinwar, Abu Ibrahim, who was martyred unexpectedly."
Later, "Al-Qassam" pointed out that after its fighters returned from the frontlines northeast of Gaza City, they managed to sneak behind the gathering of the invading enemy forces east of Jabalia camp yesterday evening, and targeted two Zionist armored personnel carriers with a "Shuath" charge and a "Yassin 105" shell, causing the Zionist vehicle crews to suffer casualties.
Abu Ubayda: The operation in the Dead Sea has enhanced the prospects of the promising Jordanian front.
The military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubayda, said: The leadership of "Al-Qassam" received reports of the remarkable Dead Sea operation with great pride as a bold and heroic operation that once again strengthened the prospects of the promising Jordanian front.
Abu Ubayda added in a statement to the "Al-Qassam" website: "The martyrs, Hussam Abu Ghazaleh and Amer Qawas, from the heroes of the Al-Aqsa flood, will remain an inspiring model for the brave people of Jordan and its free tribes with their distinguished positions and courageous acts."
The Jordanian martyrs, Amer Qawas and his comrade Hussam Abu Ghazaleh, infiltrated on October 18, 2024 from the Jordanian border into the occupied Palestinian territories and clashed with occupation soldiers near the "Ain Jidi" area in the Dead Sea, causing casualties among the enemy soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that the Dead Sea operation is the second operation carried out by the heroes of Jordan, preceded by the martyr Maher Al-Jazi who carried out a shooting operation at the Karama crossing, in which three Zionist soldiers were killed on September 8, 2024.
The Al-Qassam Brigades website obtained exclusive photos taken by the martyrs at the location of the operation during the surveillance and reconnaissance phase of the execution site.
Two experts: The distortion of the enemy's image is an attempt to confront the heroic narrative.
The occupation is seeking to distort the image of Yahya Sinwar, who was martyred while resisting the occupation until the last moment, claiming that he was hiding in a tunnel. Analysts believe that these attempts reflect Israeli concern over the global sympathy for Sinwar's heroism, who some have described as a "samurai fighter" who fights until the last breath.
Mohannad Mustafa told Al-Jazeera: The occupation's attempt to deny Sinwar's presence in a tunnel on the eve of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation is nothing more than an attempt to distort the image that the region and the world painted of the man over the past two days.
Political analyst Said Ziad agreed, pointing out that Israelis are experiencing existential anxiety due to Palestinian heroism, especially after the global interaction with Sinwar's heroism, to the point that the Japanese described him as a samurai fighter who fights until the last breath.
Ziad added that the legendary symbolism surrounding Sinwar's death has deprived the Israelis of many of their intelligence and military gains, noting that Israeli leaders appear before the world fleeing from a rocket they know will not reach them, thanks to their arsenal of missiles and advanced defense systems.
