GAZA, Palestine – The Government Media in Gaza, Palestine has refuted claim by Israel’s War Minister, Katz that the gates of hell has opened on the resistance but that what the occupation has done is to systematically open fire on unarmed civilians and on hundreds of thousands of children, women and the elderly, destroying homes, hospitals, schools, mosques and tents and not against anything else in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention and a continuous justification for genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement.
“The occupation army opens hell on civilians, destroys 1,600 residential buildings and 13,000 tents, and forcibly displaces 350,000 citizens from eastern Gaza to its center and west”, the agency said.
It condemned in the strongest terms the continued brutal targeting by the “israeli” occupation army of Gaza City and its civilian residential neighborhoods, as part of the systematic destruction, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement policies it has continued to implement since the start of its ground aggression on the city on August 11, 2025, until today.
“We affirm that the statements of “israeli” Defense Minister Katz, when he said that “the gates of hell in Gaza have opened on the resistance and that the army’s operations will escalate against it,” we affirm that the truth is completely the opposite.
” The occupation systematically opens fire on unarmed civilians and on hundreds of thousands of children, women, and the elderly, destroying homes, hospitals, schools, mosques, and tents, and not against anything else, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, and a continuous justification for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement”, the Government Media office said.
It explained that the occupation has committed widespread destruction crimes, including more than 1,600 multi-story civilian residential towers and buildings completely destroyed, and more than 2,000 residential towers and buildings severely damaged, in addition to destroying more than 13,000 tents sheltering displaced persons”.
The Government media noted that since the beginning of September 2025 alone, the occupation has completely demolished and destroyed 70 residential towers and buildings, and severely damaged 120 residential towers and buildings, in addition to more than 3,500 tents.
“These towers and residential buildings contained more than 10,000 housing units inhabited by over 50,000 people, while the tents targeted by the “israeli” aggression sheltered more than 52,000 displaced persons.
“Thus, the occupation has destroyed homes and tents that housed more than 100,000 people, leading to the forced displacement – along with forced evacuation crimes – of over 350,000 citizens from the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City towards the city center and west, in a scene that clearly reflects the deliberate commission of war crimes through a policy of systematic ethnic cleansing and genocide.
“It should be noted that administratively, Gaza City includes a number of main neighborhoods and camps, most notably: Shuja’iyya neighborhood, Zaytoun neighborhood, Tuffah neighborhood, Daraj neighborhood, Northern Rimal neighborhood, Southern Rimal neighborhood, Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, Sabra neighborhood, Nasr neighborhood, Shati Camp, Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood, knowing that each of these neighborhoods includes sub-divisions such as the Shuja’iyya neighborhood divisions (Harazin, Turkmen, Muntar) and others”, the Government Media Office said adding that in presenting these facts to the entire world, affirmed that the “israeli” occupation deliberately targets civilians, their homes, and their displacement sites, committing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement in a clear and systematic manner, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, and calls on the international community to take urgent action to stop these crimes and provide protection for unarmed civilians.
