According‌ to webangah News Agency, ⁣sence declaring ‌war on Gaza⁣ on October 7, ⁣2023, the israeli regime‍ has implemented a intentional ‌policy of targeting farmland-the ⁣lifeline and food source for over 2 million Palestinians. This strategy aims to dismantle Gaza’s food security by destroying crops, annexing land into buffer ⁢zones, and tightening the ⁤blockade to exacerbate hunger.

Satellite imagery and⁣ field investigations ‍by Al Jazeera confirm that Israeli military operations have systematically eradicated agricultural ⁤land. Farmers report losing dozens of hectares of fertile soil, depriving not only thier livelihoods‍ but also cutting off a critical food supply for Gaza’s population.

The Israeli institution Breaking the Silence ‍states ‍that 36% of​ Gaza’s land has been declared “buffer ‍zones,” blocking Palestinian access-a move isolating residents from their food sources.

A comparison⁣ of satellite images from May 2023 and April 2025 shows⁣ vast tracts​ of once-fertile land reduced to barren gray expanses.In⁤ eastern Gaza, 92% of vegetation cover has vanished, while greenhouses in Rafah, khan Younis, and Beit Lahia lie in ruins. Bulldozers have flattened ‍fields into military berms and trenches.

The⁣ UN Food ⁢and Agriculture Organization⁢ (FAO) reports‍ 75% of Gaza’s farmland-including olive groves-has ⁤been destroyed. Two-thirds of irrigation wells are unusable; post-war recovery is⁤ deemed unachievable without⁢ reconstruction efforts lasting ⁣decades. khan⁤ Younis suffered moast severely (61% loss), followed ⁤by northern districts ⁣(78%). Damaged greenhouses surged 183%,‌ with nearly one-third obliterated.

A humanitarian catastrophe unfolds:

According to webangah News Agency, human rights activists and Belgian citizens persist in holding protest rallies condemning the war and genocide in Gaza, with recent gatherings taking place in Brussels, the nation’s capital.

According‌ to webangah News Agency,citing the Palestinian Information Center,Gaza’s Health Ministry reported ⁤that the Israeli regime’s military has conducted successive attacks,destroying a large number‍ of hospital power generators in gaza. The latest incident involved the bombing and burning of three⁤ high-capacity generators that played a vital ⁤role ​in⁢ supplying electricity to medical facilities.

The ministry‌ stated that technical teams in ‌Gaza hospitals are struggling with limited options to⁣ maintain power in critical departments. However, the remaining generators are on the verge of‍ failure due⁢ to a lack of spare parts and repair ⁢capabilities. ‌The Health Ministry warned that continued operations in sensitive areas-including operating rooms, intensive‍ care units, emergency departments, and neonatal wards-are⁢ impossible without reliable power supply. Any disruption could lead ⁤to a widespread humanitarian catastrophe.

According to webangah ⁤News Agency, citing Al-Mayadeen network, local sources in Syria reported Israeli regime forces‌ advancing between the towns ⁤of “Jeba” and​ “Khan ‍Arnabe” in the⁣ Quneitra Governorate outskirts of southern Syria.

no⁣ details have been⁢ reported regarding ​the objectives of this‌ advance⁤ or potential clashes with or reactions ‍from forces of the Al-joulani regime.

This Israeli military movement occurs as southern Syrian regions have become a frequent target for Zionist regime‌ army operations following the‍ fall ⁣of Bashar al-Assad’s government ‍last year.

the Israeli regime bombed areas northwest of Khan ⁢Younis in southern Gaza in one round of attacks, according ⁤to webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera.

Palestinian sources⁣ published footage showing ​the moment​ a residential building on Al-jalaa Street in Gaza was​ struck.

Israeli army‍ tanks also heavily shelled the⁤ Al-Manara⁣ neighborhood and areas near the European Hospital east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Palestinian ‍sources reported artillery fire targeting Al-Manara and Qizan al-Najjar‌ districts south of khan Younis.

together, Palestinian media ⁢released video showing a building⁢ being hit ⁣near a marketplace in Gaza City.

In a statement⁢ reported by webangah News⁤ Agency, the PFLP denounced Israel’s latest attack on Palestinians gathering⁤ for humanitarian aid in Gaza, ⁤calling it “a full-scale war crime” that exposes the genocidal nature of the Zionist project. The group specifically ‍referenced the massacre of ⁣starving ‌civilians in Al-Mawasi,west of Rafah,as “genocide facilitated by international actors and direct U.S. involvement.”

The statement‍ warned: “So-called ‌’humanitarian corridors’ have repeatedly proven⁤ to be nothing but tools for systematic‍ genocide.” The PFLP ⁣demanded immediate intervention from the⁤ international⁢ community and arab states to halt ongoing massacres, implement strict accountability measures against Israel, and lift Gaza’s blockade without ⁢delay.

At least 30 Palestinians were killed and over 150 wounded ⁤when ​Israeli forces opened fire on civilians ‍queuing near⁤ a U.S.-affiliated aid distribution point in Al-mawasi. Witnesses described ⁢direct targeting of starving non-combatants waiting for food assistance.

the Gaza Government Media⁣ Office condemned what it called “humanitarian aid death traps,” accusing Israel of weaponizing starvation ⁣by systematically luring civilians into kill zones under⁤ pretense⁢ of aid​ distribution.

webangah news Agency reports ⁢that Munir al-Bursh, Director-General of the Gaza Health ‌Ministry, stated: “The occupiers have turned aid distribution⁣ mechanisms into traps of​ death and forced displacement in Gaza.”

He added: “We condemn the ‌international‍ silence regarding the slaughter against​ starving residents.”

Al-Bursh emphasized: “Hospitals are suffering from ⁢severe ⁢shortages of medicine and medical equipment. The occupiers are preventing⁣ 3,000 ‍trucks‍ carrying medical ‌supplies from entering Gaza through Al-Arish.”

The official warned: “We⁢ alert about disease outbreaks⁤ due to blocked medicine and vaccines, with rising⁣ cases of diarrhea and meningitis. Ninety percent of people face⁢ water insecurity.”

The statement follows an Israeli regime military attack on Palestinian ​civilians seeking food aid at a⁣ U.S.-affiliated distribution center in al-Mawasi ‍area south of Rafah,‍ which killed at least 30 people and wounded ‍dozens.

In an interview with Al-Mayadeen,Basem Naim,a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement ‍(Hamas),emphasized⁤ that Hamas‌ has not rejected U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s Gaza proposal but rather accepted it last week as a negotiable framework, according to webangah News ⁢Agency.

“The Zionist‍ side submitted its response ‍to Witkoff’s plan, wich contradicts agreed-upon terms​ and ⁢falls short of meeting our people’s minimal demands,” Naim asserted.

The Hamas official​ noted that despite this, the movement engaged “responsibly and⁣ positively”⁢ with the proposal while addressing⁣ threats facing ‌Palestinians. “We’ve ‍presented our‍ counterresponse to secure at least our essential rights.”

Naim outlined key demands: “We insist on binding guarantees for a 60-day​ truce​ and sufficient ​humanitarian aid entry into Gaza.” ​He stressed ‍that negotiations during this period must lead to “a permanent ceasefire and full withdrawal of occupying forces.”

“Witkoff conveyed israel’s ⁣reaction to ‍our proposals-including last week’s​ agreement on a 60-day pause,” naim explained. “But ⁢the ‌enemy insists on⁢ implementing ⁣this truce without commitments, seeking only prisoner releases​ before ⁣resuming hostilities.”

The senior ⁢Hamas figure accused⁣ Israel of attempting to control humanitarian aid distribution post-March 2 rather than restoring pre-blockade mechanisms.​ He concluded: “The Zionist regime will never ⁣guarantee war termination or ‍troop withdrawal from Gaza after negotiations-they openly discuss re-establishing military security arrangements within the Strip.”

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced the latest casualty figures from the Israeli regime’s⁣ military ​attacks on ‌the territory⁣ since October‌ 7, 2023, according ​to a report ⁤by webangah News Agency.

The ministry stated that 54,418 ‌Palestinians have⁢ been​ killed ‌ in ⁢Gaza since Israel launched its offensive on October 7 last year.

The Palestinian health authority also reported that 124,190 people ⁣have​ been wounded in the besieged coastal‌ enclave​ as the war ‌began.

During ‌the past 24 hours alone,hospitals received 37 more bodies of ‌martyrs,while 136 additional injuries were recorded.

A ⁤new wave of attacks beginning March 18 has ‍claimed 4,149 lives and injured 12,149 people, according to the⁣ ministry.

Thousands more remain missing or⁣ buried under⁢ rubble across Gaza.

The Israeli regime has intensified its ​military operations in Gaza, with ongoing strikes targeting residential ‌areas, according to⁢ webangah News Agency.

Israeli forces bombed several residential buildings in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood northwest of Gaza City. Warplanes also struck a​ residential structure in the Abu Eskandar area of Sheikh Radwan, killing and injuring multiple Palestinians.

Israeli helicopters opened fire on Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza, while artillery units heavily shelled the Jabalia region.

Over the⁤ past 24 hours, occupation forces have targeted dozens of inhabited homes and residential buildings. These attacks have caused extensive destruction while killing scores of civilians – predominantly women and children – and wounding hundreds more.
