Israel marks two years of Gaza genocide with fresh bombings

Heavy Israeli shelling was reported across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, as the genocide passed its two-year mark, with more than 67,000 Palestinians killed and the besieged enclave left largely in ruins.

Air strikes and artillery shelling targeted residential neighbourhoods in Gaza City, while displaced people and aid seekers were struck in Khan Younis.

As of 3pm local time, at least eight people had been killed, including three in the so-called "humanitarian zone" of al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, an area where tens of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza have been forced to flee.

Local news outlets also reported that military vehicles and drones opened fire on Palestinian homes in the Tal al-Hawa and al-Nasr neighbourhoods of Gaza City.

Meanwhile, explosive-laden, remotely controlled Israeli vehicles were detonated in the Sabra area, west of the city, as residential buildings in the neighbourhood were also targeted.

The latest attacks came as the genocide in Gaza entered its third year.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, Israeli forces have killed at least 67,173 Palestinians, including 20,179 children. A further 9,500 are missing and more than 160,000 injured.
