Capitals - Saba :
For the 380th consecutive day, the Zionist enemy army continues its "genocidal" war on Gaza Strip, committing all methods of killing and destruction, leaving tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and missing.

That comes at a time when the enemy is tightening its siege on Jabalia camp for the 16th consecutive day, amid continuous aerial and artillery bombardment, targeting , blowing up densely populated houses and committing bloody massacres, in addition to cutting off the communications and internet network in the northern Gaza Strip.

Since dawn today, enemy warplanes launched violent raids on the northern Gaza Strip and blew up a residential neighborhood over the heads of its residents in the Beit Lahia project, while Zionist tanks continued to incursion into Jabalia camp, amid air cover and shell of civilians, coinciding with successive massacres against civilians, and an ongoing siege for the 16th consecutive day.

The enemy army committed a new massacre against the displaced, which resulted in the martyrdom of 73 Palestinians, mostly children, women and the elderly, as well as the injury of dozens, amid a series of raids on large areas in the north of the Strip, as the aggression entered its 380th day.

The toll of the Zionist aggression on Gaza Strip has risen to 42,603 martyrs and 99,795 injured, the majority of them children and women, since the aggression began on October 7, 2023.

The official Palestinian factions and institutions condemned the recent Zionist massacre that targeted Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip, as a result of which more than 70 citizens were martyred when the Zionist enemy destroyed a residential block.

The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" said in a statement: "The enemy is racing against time in its massacres and atrocities that it commits around the clock against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip, the latest of which is the barbaric and indiscriminate shelling and the perpetration of a brutal massacre targeting a densely populated residential square and safe displaced persons in Beit Lahia project area.

"The Arab silence and international impotence have encouraged this criminal fascist enemy to commit more crimes and massacres, to empty the northern Gaza Strip of its population," it said. The Movement called on Arab and Islamic countries and the United Nations to "take effective action to stop this holocaust committed by the neo-Nazis, which will have great repercussions on the security and peace of the region."

It also called on the Arab and Islamic peoples and the free people of the world to exert more pressure on international regimes , organizations to "leave the box of condemnation and denunciation and assume their responsibility to stop this holocaust committed by the Zionist enemy, which secures punishment with American cover."

For its part, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine emphasized that "the scale of the genocide that is being carried out in the northern Gaza Strip, in front of the eyes of the whole world, is many times more than what the Zionist enemy committed during a whole year of massacres and crimes against humanity."

The movement said in a statement: "The enemy is carrying out a policy of collective punishment against civilians who cling to their land and refuse to be displaced."

For its part, the Fatah movement held the Zionist enemy government fully responsible for the bloody massacre. It demanded that the world stop the ongoing systematic war of extermination, which violates all humanitarian and legal standards.

It said in a statement: "The crime of the Zionist enemy that targeted children and women is part of a criminal Zionist series to displace the Palestinians that has not stopped since the beginning of the occupation." It called on the countries of the free world , all international human rights , legal institutions to stand by the Palestinians , curb Israel and the war of extermination targeting them.

The Zionist genocidal war on Gaza Strip comes as the enemy authorities are under severe criticism from European leaders, who are trying to prevent them from continuing their genocidal war in Gaza and Lebanon. They called for a complete halt to arms sales to the enemy entity, and to consider imposing sanctions on far-right Zionist ministers.

According to CNN, there have been talks among EU members about reviewing the association agreement between the occupation entity and the Union. Noting that some European leaders are trying to use their influence to pressure Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a ceasefire.

The network pointed out that their efforts are reinforced by the enemy's strikes targeting the United Nations peacekeeping bases in southern Lebanon, which include European troops.

Hugh Lovatt, senior policy fellow in the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), a Berlin-based think tank, told CNN: "The Zionist entity's relations with the EU are under unprecedented pressure at this point."

He added that their stance is significantly different from what experts described as the unwavering support for the Zionist enemy by European countries on October 7 last year.

But as the aggression on Gaza turned into a "war of annihilation," which resulted in the martyrdom of more than 42,000 people in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health, European countries sought to distance themselves from the Zionist enemy entity.

The report added: The growing European criticism comes at a time when the United States seems unable or unwilling to exert significant pressure on the Zionist enemy, just weeks before the presidential elections in November, according to experts.

The director of the Zionist-European relations program at the Mitvim Research Center in Jerusalem said: "European countries tend to be more outspoken when it comes to defending their soldiers."

The United Nations has reported that the Zionist enemy army has fired on its peacekeepers several times in recent weeks, injuring more than a dozen, and that the occupation army forcibly entered a base, stopping a critical logistical movement.

"Netanyahu should not forget that his country was created by a UN resolution," French President Emmanuel Macron said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Macron was referring to UN Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which paved the way for the creation of the entity in 1948, according to the report.

"So this is not the time to ignore UN resolutions," Macron added, according to AFP.

The French president had earlier called for a complete suspension of the sale of weapons used in the aggression against Gaza Strip. He emphasized that France was not involved in supplying them.

Last month, the UK suspended 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to the Zionist entity due to the risk of such weapons being used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, a decision that was met with condemnation by officials in the Zionist enemy government.
