Israel Controls 77% of Gaza As ‘Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing’ Continues
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Israeli military now controls 77 percent of the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Government Media Office said, through ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and occupation.
The Israeli military is in effect controlling 77 percent of the Gaza Strip through “continued genocide, ethnic cleansing”, the enclave’s Government Media Office said, calling on the UN and the international community to take action to stop “blatant defiance of all international laws and norms”.
“This is achieved through direct ground incursions and the deployment of occupation forces within residential and civilian areas, through heavy fire control that prevents Palestinian citizens from accessing their homes, areas, lands, and property, or through unjust forced eviction policies,” it said in a statement.
The office called on the UN and the international community to take action to stop the Israeli expansion.
“The continued genocide, ethnic cleansing, colonialism, aggression, and occupation control over the vast majority of the Gaza Strip reflects an Israeli political will to impose a ‘final solution’ by force, in blatant defiance of all international laws and norms,” the statement said.
At least 38 Palestinians have been killed and 204 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the latest 24-hour reporting period, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
The statement published on Telegram said the numbers do not include victims received by hospitals in northern Gaza “due to the difficulty of accessing them”.
The total death toll from Israel’s brutal war on Gaza has risen to 53,939 people killed and 122,797 injured since October 7, 2023, it said.
At least 3,785 people have been killed and 10,756 injured in the enclave since March 18 when Israel broke a two-month ceasefire, the ministry said.
