In a dramatic twist, the Al-Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad launched rockets toward Israeli cities including Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Sderot. The barrage was declared a response to recent airstrikes on the Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis, intensifying tensions in the region. 🚀
Sirens rang out in southern Israel as two rockets were intercepted and a third landed safely in an open area. At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces called on residents in central Gaza to evacuate immediately, underlining the urgency of the unfolding situation.
On the international stage, China urged the global community to act swiftly to end the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the UN, described the situation as a "living hell," noting that nearly half a million people face severe hunger. He called for strict adherence to international humanitarian law and for unimpeded access to food, medicine, and critical supplies. 🍲
This evolving saga is a stark reminder of how rapidly conflicts can escalate and the pressing need for global diplomacy. Stay tuned as we follow every twist and turn in this unfolding crisis.
