The Crime Desk: Millions of people joined the ‘March for Gaza’ program held in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, on Saturday (April 12) to protest the barbaric massacre by Israeli forces in the besieged Gaza Strip in Palestine. Protesters carrying hundreds of Palestinian flags at Suhrawardy Udyan in the Dhaka University area chanted the slogan ‘Free, free, Palestine.’ However, on the day of such protests in Dhaka, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced intensified attacks on most areas of Gaza. BBC News.
Katz said that the army will soon intensify attacks on most areas of Gaza. He said that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have already occupied a security zone separating the cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis in the southern part of Gaza.
In addition, the Israeli army has ordered the evacuation of Palestinians from Khan Younis and its surrounding areas. It has been said that these areas will be attacked in response to Hamas projectiles fired from Gaza.
According to the BBC report, Israel resumed its attacks against Hamas in Gaza on March 18 after a two-month ceasefire in January collapsed. Since then, Israeli forces have occupied large areas of Gaza. This has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
In addition, Israeli forces have also occupied a large area along the border with the Palestinian territory of Gaza. Meanwhile, a live report by Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera on Sunday said that Israeli forces bombed Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
Al Jazeera journalists said that the hospital’s emergency department was destroyed in the attack. Patients are being evacuated to other locations. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the attack on the hospital, the report said.
More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 17-month-long war in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands have been injured. In addition, millions of Palestinians have been displaced.
