Day 388 of Israeli genocide in Gaza: 43,020 martyrs 101,110 injured
The Israeli occupation committed five massacres in the past 48 hours in its genocidal aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation continues its onslaught and massacres in the Gaza Strip, intensifying its aggression specifically in the northern part of the territory, and committing atrocities that necessitate urgent intervention to save civilians.
In the past 48 hours, Israeli occupation forces committed five massacres against civilians, women, children, and the elderly, killing 96 Palestinians and injuring 277 others, Gaza's Health Ministry revealed in its daily report.
This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 to 43,020, in addition to 101,110 injured that arrived at hospitals, the ministry added.
While some victims were able to be transported to the very few functioning hospitals in the Strip, countless others are trapped under the rubble, as Civil Defense crews cannot reach them due to Israeli bombardments and deliberate attacks against first responders.
Earlier on Sunday, at least nine Palestinians were killed in yet another Israeli airstrike on a UN-operated school sheltering displaced civilians, west of Gaza City, Anadolu Agency reported, citing a medical source.
The Israeli strike, which hit Asmaa School—managed by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the al-Shati refugee camp—also left 20 others injured, with the toll expected to rise.
This marked the second attack on the same school within just a few days. An earlier airstrike on October 19 had already killed at least 10 people and injured several others.
The Israeli occupation military has consistently targeted civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and places of worship, during its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah regained strength, 'Israel' paying the price: Israeli media
Israeli media confirms that Hezbollah has regained its strength and returned to its normal operations, noting that "Israel" is paying a very high price on the northern front.
Reserve Major General Israel Ziv of the Israeli army confirmed on Sunday that Hezbollah has regained its strength and returned to its normal operations, particularly following recent strikes.
Ziv emphasized that moving forward, there will be no significant "achievements" for "Israel", but rather a gradual erosion of its capabilities and a war of attrition, highlighting that "Israel" tends to suffer more losses in such confrontations than Hezbollah.
Israeli media reported a significant increase in Hezbollah's operations against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon in recent days. They noted that "signs of Hezbollah's recovery are becoming clear, especially with the ongoing violent confrontations in the region."
Former Reserve Colonel Jacques Neriah of the Israeli army stated that “the fighters in Lebanon are permitting the Israeli army to advance, setting the stage for potential attacks and ambushes.” He revealed that "many of the tunnels in southern Lebanon are traps."
'Paying a heavy price in the North'
This morning, Hezbollah launched at 7:40 am on Sunday an aerial attack with a squadron of kamikaze drones at the Bar Lev Industrial Zone, southeast of Acre.
In a statement, Hezbollah stressed that this operation comes in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and defense of Lebanon and its people. In this context, Israeli media confirmed that a drone exploded inside a building in the Bar Lev industrial zone, located between Akka and Karmiel, injuring four settlers at the scene.
On another note, in a talk with "Israel's" Yedioth Ahronoth, Security affairs analyst Ronen Bergman stated on Friday that "Israel" is living in denial and "We have exaggerated by 100% regarding the strikes against Hezbollah, including major figures in the Israeli intelligence and military establishment. They've entered a state of euphoria."
When asked about the impact of assassinations on Hezbollah, concerning the attacks on the Bekaa, the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General and other leaders, Ronen Bergman said that "Israel" overestimated the situation.
He adds that "Israel" has entered a state of euphoria, "as if there is no shortage of ammunition and as if it doesn’t cost billions every day. We feel like everything is perfectly fine, but there are more and more reports of soldiers being killed and injured. The situation is not over, and worse, it has become routine. The Israeli military wants to resolve the situation (in Lebanon)."

Iran ‘immediately’ repaired ‘minor’ damage caused by Israeli strikes: Iranian Defense chief
Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh says Israel’s recent aggression against several Iranian military facilities caused “minor” damage which was immediately repaired and replaced.
Nasirzadeh made the remarks in an address to non-Iranian students of the Supreme National Defense University and foreign military attachés residing in Tehran on Monday.
“The recent aggression of the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran inflicted slight damage on us, which we immediately repaired and replaced by making use of our own know-how and scientific power,” he said.
The defense minister, however, added that if Iran lacked such scientific capabilities, others would never have allowed it do this.
He emphasized that the Israeli regime has violated all international regulations which aim to defend human rights and justice.
The Israeli regime attacked several Iranian military facilities early Saturday, killing four servicemen of the Armed Forces and one civilian.
Iran’s Air Defense Base said some limited damage was caused in some areas, the dimensions of which are being investigated.
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Akbar Ahmadian said on Monday that the Israeli aggression has had no impact on the Islamic Republic’s military power.
Iran has emphasized that it is not looking for war but will not abandon its right to give an appropriate and firm response to Israel’s latest act of aggression.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasirzadeh said the United States’ presence in all parts of the world, including the South China Sea and provocation of Taiwan, international straits and waterways such as the Bab el-Mandab Strait and the war between Russia and Ukraine, aims to promote the US unilateralism.
The Iranian defense chief urged justice-seeking Muslim and non-Muslim countries to use their scientific power and focus and their commonalities.
Don’t test the Islamic Republic’s power: Iran warns Israel
Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni on Monday warned enemies, particularly the Israeli regime, against making a miscalculation and testing the Islamic Republic’s power.
He issued the warning in a message of condolences over the martyrdom of four servicemen of the Armed Forces in the Israeli attack and 10 Iranian border guards in a terrorist attack in the country’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan on Saturday.
Momeni said the martyrdom of the defenders of the country’s security once again disclosed courage of the Iranian forces and the evil nature of the Israeli regime.
In a statement on Sunday, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force’s Quds Base said it has arrested four terrorists and taken down four others involved in a surprise armed attack against the Iranian border guards in the Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County.
