The Israeli occupation forces launched a new attack in Gaza on Saturday, targeting Al-Mawasi, a displacement camp west of the city of Khan Younis. The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported more than 71 fatalities and 289 injuries, including serious cases. The ministry said that the Israeli occupation committed four massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, leaving 61 dead and 129 injured. The toll of the Israeli aggression on Gaza has reached 38,443 fatalities and 88,481 injuries since 7 October 2023. Egypt condemned in the strongest terms, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday, Israel's bombing of the Al-Mawasi camp. The Foreign Ministry's statement called on the Israeli occupation to stop underestimating the lives of defenceless citizens and to adhere to due humanitarian standards in compliance with the provisions of international law and international humanitarian law. Egypt stressed that Israel's crimes will not be subject to a statute of limitations and cannot be accepted under any justification. It stressed that the ongoing Israeli violations against the Palestinians "add serious complications to the ability of the efforts currently being made to reach calm and a ceasefire, and they also increase the human suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, amid shameful international silence and inability." Meanwhile, Israeli occupation army radio, citing a security source, claimed that the target of the Khan Yunis bombing was a significant person, saying that the results were still unknown. However, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed that the occupation's allegations about targeting leaders are "false allegations." The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that the occupation army dropped five huge bombs, some of which penetrated underground strongholds, in Khan Yunis. Clarifying the source of the bombs, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that the bombs used by the occupation in the Al-Mawasi massacre were of the advanced, deadly US-made JDAM model, which is laser-guided and relies on advanced sensor technology and artificial intelligence. It quoted the director of the Asgard Military Technology Company as saying that these bombs were at the heart of the disputes with the American administration. In the meantime, Palestinian and Arab activists called for widespread participation in demonstrations in the West Bank and Arab countries denouncing the two massacres the occupation committed in Al-Mawasi and Beach Camp, and in support of the Gaza Strip. This comes at a time when the International Court of Justice is expected to express its opinion on the legal consequences resulting from the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, on 19 July, amid Israeli fear that the court's opinion next week will lead to increased political pressure on Tel Aviv due to its devastating, nine-month-long war on the Gaza Strip. Moreover, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that Israeli estimates indicate that negotiations on a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal will stop after the Al-Mawasi massacre, at least in the near term. For its part, the Hamas movement called on the people of the West Bank, the Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world to continue solidarity with Gaza until the aggression and genocide stop. The movement also called on the resistance brigades for a general mobilization in victory for Gaza and in loyalty to the innocent blood of the martyrs. Nevertheless, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Hamas movement, announced that its fighters targeted "a Zionist Hummer jeep with an RPG shell and clashed with several occupation soldiers next to it, leaving them dead and wounded near the Council of Ministers in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood in Gaza City." The resistance fighters also detonated a minefield in an Israeli engineering force, killing and wounding them in the Al-Shoka neighbourhood, east of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The Al-Qassam Brigades announced that they had placed a convoy of Israeli vehicles in a tight ambush and destroyed three Merkava tanks with "Al-Yassin 105" shells, saying that the clash was continuing near the Abu Dhar al-Ghafari Mosque, east of the city of Rafah. Furthermore, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, announced that it bombed with mortar shells a position of Israeli occupation soldiers and vehicles in the "Netzarim" axis, south of Tal al-Hawa, west of Gaza City.
