Israeli offensive on Gaza Strip continues, causing heavy casualties

CGTN reporter Zhao Bing:Recently, the Israeli army has continued to launch air strikes on civilian facilities and settlements in the Gaza Strip, including UN schools.The Israeli army launched air strikes on different areas in the southern, central and northern parts of the Gaza Strip almost within an hour, killing at least 44 people and injuring hundreds.In the Khan Yunis al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, an Israeli airstrike hit a displaced people's tent area, killing at least 17 people; in the Nusayret refugee camp in central Gaza, a school affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East was hit by an airstrike, killing at least 23 people. The Gaza health department said that many of the dead and injured were women and children.

CGTN reporter Zhao Bing:The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East said that in the past 10 days alone, five schools where the agency is responsible for accommodating refugees were attacked by the Israeli army, and the agency's headquarters near Gaza City was subjected to large-scale raids by the Israeli army for several consecutive days.

Israel says it will increase military pressure on Hamas

CGTN reporter Zhao Bing:Although the Israeli army claims that its military operations are aimed at combating hidden armed personnel, especially senior commanders of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Organization (Jihad), the escalation of the Israeli military operations is obviously accompanied by the resumption of negotiations between the parties on the ceasefire and personnel exchange agreement in Gaza.Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed recently that the previous negotiations failed to make progress because the military pressure on Hamas was not enough, so Israel will continue to intensify its attacks on Hamas and other organizations.

Negotiations between the parties have not yet broken down due to the escalation of military action

CGTN reporter Zhao Bing:At present, the negotiations between the parties have not yet broken down due to the escalation of Israeli military operations. Hamas has previously accused Israel of deliberately creating obstacles to the failure of the negotiations, but Hamas will not be fooled and will continue to participate in the negotiations to reach an agreement and end Israel's aggression against Gaza.
