Israel has drastically escalated its attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip in the five weeks since halting its joint bombing with the United States of Iran, redirecting its firepower to the devastated Palestinian enclave.
Conflict monitor ACLED, which tracks Israeli attacks in Gaza, said in a report on Wednesday that Israel had carried out 35 percent more attacks in April than in March.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 120 Palestinians, including eight women and 13 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the U.S.-Israel war on Iran halted on April 8, a 20 percent increase compared with the five weeks prior when Israel was striking Iran.
The “ceasefire” agreement mediated by the U.S. and Qatar aimed to halt major fighting in Gaza, but Israeli forces have not withdrawn from the territory, while Israel continues to impose severe restrictions on aid supplies and has prevented efforts to rebuild the Palestinian territory.
