Israel Launches ‘Extensive’ Ground Assault as 144 Palestinians Martyrdom in Gaza
Report by Safarti Tarjuman International Desk
The Israeli military has launched a widescale ground assault across northern and southern Gaza, intensifying its ongoing offensive in the region.
At least 144 Palestinians have been Martyrdom in recent days amid relentless air and ground attacks, according to local health authorities. The continued bombardment has pushed Gaza’s already fragile health system to collapse, with all public hospitals in northern Gaza now reportedly out of service.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the initiation of what it described as “extensive ground operations,” supported by the Israeli Air Force. Troops have been deployed across multiple sectors in the Gaza Strip, targeting what the military claims are militant infrastructure and tunnel networks.
The escalation marks one of the deadliest phases in the latest round of conflict, with heavy civilian casualties and critical infrastructure devastated. Humanitarian organizations are warning of a deepening crisis as access to emergency medical care becomes increasingly scarce.
No official comment has been made by Israeli authorities regarding the total death toll or the duration of the operation.
