GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) -- The Palestinian resistance announced Saturday that it successfully killed six collaborators of the Zionist regime in northern Gaza as part of its ongoing battle against the Israeli occupation and its agents. 
These individuals collaborated closely with Israeli intelligence, betraying their own people and inflicting harm on both the courageous Palestinian resistance fighters and innocent civilians. The resistance stressed that such operations are essential for confronting the occupation and dismantling its internal networks of betrayal.
The collaborators provided crucial information to the Israeli military, including the locations of resistance strongholds and sensitive operations, and were involved in handing over weapons and directly participating in the assassination of Palestinian fighters in areas such as Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia. 
The resistance issued a firm warning to anyone still collaborating with Israel: reconsider your actions and return to your people before it’s too late. The message was unequivocal—treason will not be tolerated, and those who assist the occupiers will face consequences.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its genocidal assault on Gaza, killing at least 41 Palestinians in a single day, with the vast majority of victims being civilians trapped under relentless bombing in Gaza City. 
Entire residential buildings, schools, and shelters housing displaced families have been reduced to rubble in the so-called “escalation” of attacks. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warned that the relentless Israeli bombardment is forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, leaving them with nowhere to flee for safety.
By early September, nearly 86 percent of Gaza was engulfed in military aggression or under forced evacuation orders, a cruel strategy to displace and terrorize the population further. UNRWA and other humanitarian bodies have urgently called for an immediate ceasefire, stressing that without one, the death toll and destruction will become catastrophic.
Since October 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that over 64,800 Palestinians have been killed in this ongoing war of extermination, including thousands of children, while hundreds of thousands more have been wounded. 
In the last 24 hours alone, 47 bodies were brought to hospitals, with 205 more injured. These numbers exclude countless victims still trapped under rubble or unable to access medical care due to the total Israeli blockade that has sealed off Gaza’s borders since March 2024.
The siege has created a dire humanitarian crisis: starvation and malnutrition are rampant. Seven Palestinians, including two children, recently died of hunger within just 24 hours, bringing the total deaths from famine-linked causes to 420 since the siege tightened. The World Health Organization confirmed that over 360 Palestinians have succumbed to starvation in Gaza, highlighting the devastating impact of Israel’s calculated policy of collective punishment.
The famine, officially declared in mid-August, is projected to spread further across the territory, threatening even more lives. Gaza’s 2.2 million residents now face an existential threat, with essential supplies cut off, medical facilities overwhelmed, and infrastructure in ruins. 
This humanitarian catastrophe has been orchestrated and exacerbated by Israeli military and political leadership, which continues to openly endorse and execute a policy of annihilation.
In a revealing statement, former Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi admitted that more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded in the war and that no legal advice ever constrained the military’s brutal actions. 
Halevi’s candid remarks confirm what many international human rights organizations have documented: Israel’s campaign in Gaza meets the definition of genocide under international law.
The global community is beginning to take notice. The largest association of genocide scholars recently passed a resolution, overwhelmingly endorsing the view that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. 
The International Court of Justice is now investigating Israel, while Israeli leaders such as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former war minister Yoav Gallant face international arrest warrants for war crimes.
Despite the overwhelming evidence and mounting global condemnation, Israel continues to defy international law and moral decency, perpetuating the destruction of Gaza and its people. This has galvanized the Palestinian resistance, which remains resolute in defending their land, people, and dignity through all necessary means.
