More than 100 martyrs have fallen during November 28-29 in two massacres carried out by the occupation forces in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip. However, full news and details of what happened only emerged on November 29 afternoon. Information from the besieged areas remains scarce due to heavy bombing targeting residential buildings under the cover of darkness, making it impossible for neighbors or medical teams traveling on foot to reach the targeted sites to assess the situation.
Over 50 were martyred in an airstrike that targeted the home of Abu Al-Mu’tazz Ahmed in the Beit Lahia housing project, according to a relative who posted on Facebook, stating that “no one survived the massacre” that erased an entire extended family from the civil registry.
On November 29, the Zionist entity renewed airstrikes on numerous residential homes. One such strike targeted the Baba family in Beit Lahia, where survivorsā cries were heard from the first moments. When neighbors arrived to rescue the injured and the bodies, surveillance planes targeted the vehicle used to evacuate the wounded, killing the survivors and those aiding them. According to local sources, dozens of martyrs fall daily in similar airstrikes, with no one hearing about them, no one retrieving their bodies, no one burying them.
Residents have also reported the use of strange and unconventional weapons that cause the bodies of martyrs to be vaporized or turn to dust. Hundreds of martyrs, confirmed by locals to have been at the targeted sites, have left no trace behind. According to Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, director general of Hospitals under the Ministry of Health in Gaza, “Israel is testing weapons on us that we do not know, dropping bombs that produce terrifying sounds. When anyone approaches the blast area within a 300-meter radius, they completely evaporate.”
“We know nothing about the massacres occurring in the northern Gaza Strip because no one can access the targeted areas,” he added. “The enemy bombs entire residential blocks, killing all their inhabitants, and we only learn of them a day or two later. As for the weapons being used, they reduce residential buildings to small fragments and rubble. We need an international investigation committee to uncover what Israel is doing to us.”
