She longed for the scent of food, for preparing it, and for its presence on the table—but war stood in the way of their happiness, crushed by a ruthless and miserable policy.

She left her tent to buy what little she could afford—barely enough to sustain herself and her family—amid a famine that has worsened in the Gaza Strip, where a mere piece of bread has become a dream for its people.

In the anguished market, among the rubble of painful memories and tragic images, she stood, her heart filled with wave after wave of sorrow, reflecting the grief of a homeland bidding farewell to its children, as trees bid farewell to the soil that once held them.

What painful moments these are—recalling the generosity of the land before the brutal assault. How hard it is to sigh under the weight of immense pain, among broken hearts, weary bodies, and pale faces, finding no solace but prayer to Almighty God.

Developments in the Situation

On the 56th day since the resumption of the genocide in the Gaza Strip, the occupation escalated its airstrikes, bombing a girls’ school in Jabalia at dawn on Monday, killing 15 people. Medical sources reported a total of 17 Palestinians martyred since midnight.

This came just hours after former U.S. President Donald Trump praised the resistance's announcement of its intent to release the “American-Israeli” captive in Gaza, Aidan Alexander, expressing hope for an end to the war. Meanwhile, the resistance declared its readiness to immediately begin negotiations toward a final agreement to stop the war.

In turn, Israeli army radio reported the mobilization of two additional reserve brigades—infantry and armored—in preparation to expand the military operation in Gaza, noting that five reserve brigades have been mobilized so far during this campaign.
