A number of Palestinians were martyred and injured early Sunday in a series of airstrikes and artillery bombardments conducted by Israeli warplanes and artillery, marking the 184th day of continuous aggression on the Gaza Strip, particularly targeting the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern part of the enclave.

In the latest developments, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on homes in the Al-Juneina neighborhood of Rafah city, and others in Khan Younis in the southern part of the Strip.

The Palestinian news agency “WAFA” reported that Israeli aircraft intensely fired towards the Zanna area and Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of a number of Palestinians.

Additionally, two Palestinians were injured in the vicinity of a house near Al-Istiqama Mosque, which was bombed by the occupation in the Al-Juneina neighborhood east of Rafah city.

Israeli warplanes carried out several airstrikes on various areas west of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday night, targeting a group of residents near the Turkish slaughterhouse in the west, leading to the martyrdom and injury of dozens of Palestinians. This was concurrent with artillery shelling by the occupation forces on wide areas in the south and west of the city.

Local sources stated that the occupation forces shelled wide areas in Beit Hanoun and the Qleibo area north of Gaza, in conjunction with artillery shelling on Al-Zaytoun neighborhood east of Gaza city, and the southern neighborhoods of the city.

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th, by land, sea, and air, resulting in the martyrdom of 33,137 Palestinians, the majority of whom are children and women, and injuring more than 75,815 others, in a still-incomplete toll.

A United Nations report released yesterday (Friday) revealed that between 10,000 and 15,000 people were killed in the city of Geneina in Sudan's West Darfur region last year in ethnic violence. The attacks were carried out by the semi-military Rapid Support Forces and allied Arab militias. According to the report presented to the UN Security Council, independent UN sanctions monitors attributed the death toll in Geneina to intelligence sources and compared it to UN estimates that about 12,000 people were killed across Sudan since the outbreak of war on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces. The UN report states that about 500,000 people fled Sudan to eastern Chad, which is hundreds of kilometers south of Am Djarass. The monitors wrote that Geneina witnessed "intense violence" between April and June last year. They accused the Rapid Support Forces and their allies of targeting the African Masalit ethnic tribe in attacks that "could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity." The Rapid Support Forces previously denied these allegations, stating that any soldiers found to be involved would face justice. The sanctions monitors' annual report to the 15-member Security Council stated that the attacks were "planned, coordinated, and executed by the Rapid Support Forces and the allied Arab militias." Reuters news agency documented last year's ethnically targeted violence in West Darfur. Survivors described horrific scenes of bloodshed in Geneina and on the 30-kilometer road from the city to the Chad border as people fled. The monitors' report includes similar accounts, stating that from June 14 to 17, about 12,000 people fled Geneina on foot to Adré in Chad. The Masalit, who were the majority in Geneina, were forced to mass displacement due to these attacks. The monitors reported that upon reaching checkpoints controlled by the Rapid Support Forces, men and women were separated, harassed, searched, robbed, and physically assaulted. They also stated that the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias fired indiscriminately at hundreds of people's legs to prevent them from escaping. The report detailed that young men were particularly targeted and interrogated about their ethnic affiliation, with many being executed after brief proceedings if identified as Masalit. Women faced physical and sexual assault, and random gunfire resulted in the injury and death of women and children. All interviewees mentioned "many bodies along the road, including women, children, and young men." The monitors also reported "widespread sexual violence" linked to the conflict, committed by the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias. The report concluded that the new firepower acquired by the Rapid Support Forces had a significant impact on the balance of power in Darfur and other areas of Sudan. Recently, the Rapid Support Forces have made military gains, including controlling Wad Madani, one of Sudan's largest cities, and strengthening their grip on West Darfur. In December, the United States officially determined that both parties to the conflict in Sudan had committed war crimes, and that the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias also committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. The war has left nearly half of Sudan's 49 million population in need of aid, with over 7.5 million people displaced, making it the world's largest displacement crisis. Hunger is also spreading. The sanctions monitors told the Security Council that the excess of mediation tracks, entrenched positions of the warring parties, and competing regional interests mean that these peace efforts have yet to stop the war, achieve political settlement, or address the humanitarian crisis.
