Rabat — Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed at least 80 Palestinians on Wednesday, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The deaths come as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed yesterday to intensify its genocidal assaults on the besieged Gaza.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s government sent negotiators to Qatar for talks about Hamas-held hostages.
Donald Trump also visited Gaza ceasefire broker Qatar on Wednesday, prompting Hamas to urge the American president to “continue efforts to end” the unfolding genocide in the Palestinian enclave.
“Fifty-nine people died in northern Gaza bombings, particularly in Jabalia camp,” civil defense spokesperson Mohammed al-Moughayir told reporters.
Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded as families mourned their dead, with one woman crying out over a blood-stained shroud containing a nine-month-old baby.
Healthcare workers describe overwhelming, inhumane conditions in the war-torn enclave. “We can’t handle all the wounded — we lack beds, medicine, and surgical equipment,” said Doctor Mohammad Awad, a physician at Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital.
“Bodies lie on hallway floors… it’s catastrophic.”
The bombings resumed after a brief Monday pause that allowed for the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander.

By Tuesday, Israel had struck two hospitals in Khan Younis, claiming they contained Hamas command centers.
Netanyahu said on Monday that the IOF “will enter with full force to complete the operation and defeat Hamas.”
His government is reportedly implementing its forced displacement of Gazans, as they are seeking countries willing to accept Gaza residents as part of what officials call a “conquest” plan for the Palestinian territory.
The displacement plan expects to relocate 50% of Gazan population.
Palestinian President Abbas accused Netanyahu of prolonging the war “for personal reasons” and demanded an immediate ceasefire.
Since March 2, Israeli forces have blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, creating dire conditions for its 2.4 million residents who face famine and critical shortages of medicine and fuel.
Israel’s barbaric assaults against civilians in Gaza continues to draw international criticism. Italian Prime Minister Meloni has called the humanitarian situation “unjustifiable,” while France’s President Macron described Israel’s actions as a “shame.”
