ALBAWABA- The death toll from the tragic Nabulsi roundabout massacre in Gaza has climbed to 112 martyrs, with the Gaza Ministry of Health updating the casualties from the Israeli attacks on civilians gathering near aid trucks at the Al Rasheed roundabout to 112 fatalities and 760 injuries.

 In response to the outcry, the Israeli army has initiated an investigation into the devastating assault on aid convoys, which claimed the lives of hundreds of Palestinians. 

Early reports from Gaza authorities revealed that at least 70 people were killed, and over 250 others were injured in a separate massacre at the Al Rasheed roundabout in Gaza City.

Conflicting figures emerged regarding the latest Israeli attack on Gaza City, with Quds News Network reporting at least 150 fatalities and 1,000 injuries, highlighting Israeli snipers' ruthless targeting of aid-seekers and first responders. 

Government media in Gaza condemned the assault, accusing Israeli forces of knowingly targeting civilians seeking humanitarian assistance. 

Urgent appeals have been made to the international community, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, to intervene immediately to halt the "genocidal war" against Palestinians in Gaza.

These developments follow the Ministry of Health's staggering revelation that the death toll in the city has surpassed 30,000 since October 7th amidst ongoing humanitarian crises.


Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel.

Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases, and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.

In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 30,000+ people, with more than 70,043 injuries.

Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
