As Israel moves forward with its plan to seize Gaza City and force its population south, the IOF have escalated attacks on the enclave\u2019s biggest city.<\/p>\n

Reports from the ground carry the lived reality behind the statistics: the story of shattered lives and broken neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

“The Israeli army [is] obliterating entire blocks in Gaza City and other regions in northern Gaza,” Moulana Ebrahim Moosa said in today\u2019s Palestine Report<\/a> on Radio Islam International.<\/p>\n

The relentless assault, he explained, has triggered a renewed displacement crisis. Hundreds of families are now forced to flee or remain trapped, completely cut off from food and supplies. Gaza City \u2014 a de-facto capital of the besieged strip \u2014 is being attacked not just by conventional means, but through chilling innovations: “remote-controlled vehicles, robots \u2026 destroy buildings and \u2026 force Palestinians out of their homes.”<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, reports surfaced of chemical-weapon-style attacks, with residents forced to soak masks in unknown liquids to ward off the foul odours. The explosions themselves thundered like volcanoes, shaking the very ground upon which Gaza\u2019s people tread.<\/p>\n

This is not isolated carnage. As he noted, Gaza remains under siege in Rafah, Khan Younis, and throughout northern areas. The advance seems designed to drive Palestinians deeper south into isolated zones, using drones and psychological warfare\u2014announcing troop movements and releasing satellite photos\u2014to terrorise civilians into submission.<\/p>\n

Israeli military intelligence records show that by May 2025, 8 900 fighters from Hamas and Islamic Jihad had been killed, out of an estimated 53 000 total Palestinian deaths.<\/p>\n

That means that “17 % of the total deaths were fighters \u2026 83 % \u2026 would then actually be civilian death.” Human rights experts point out that such a ratio\u2014where civilians represent over four-fifths of the casualties\u2014is unprecedented in modern warfare.<\/p>\n

Amid the bleak landscape in Gaza, waves of solidarity ripple worldwide. In Australia, the largest coordinated pro-Palestine protests in history swept through more than 40 cities. Organisers estimate up to 350 000 took to the streets, including around 50 000 in Brisbane, despite police estimates that put the city\u2019s turnout closer to 10\u00a0000.<\/p>\n

Speakers linked the surge to Australia\u2019s growing awareness of the Gaza catastrophe. In Adelaide, for example, its largest pro-Palestine rally ever rallied protesters chanting \u201cSanctions, now\u201d and condemning government complicity.<\/p>\n

A growing wave of conscience is emerging, with many questioning Israel\u2019s operation, which inflicts massive destruction yet shows no clear strategic objective and defies basic humanity.<\/p>\n

“Even if one were to trust that Israeli figure of 8 900 fighters killed, that could be vastly exaggerated \u2026 they \u2026 remotely associate police officers \u2026 people are promoted to the rank of fighters after their death \u2026 ratio of civilian deaths \u2026 has only increased since May.”<\/p>\n
