Israel Now Controls 77% of Gaza Strip, Says Gaza Media Office

Date:

Gaza City – The Gaza Government Media Office has announced that Israeli forces have taken control of approximately 77% of the Gaza Strip’s total geographic area, raising alarm over what it describes as an aggressive and unlawful expansion.

According to a statement released by the media office, the land occupation has been achieved through direct ground invasions, military deployments in urban areas, widespread forced evictions, and intense bombardment. These tactics have prevented Palestinian civilians from accessing their homes, lands, neighborhoods, and properties, the statement said.

“The ongoing genocide, aggression, and large-scale occupation by Israeli forces represent a blatant violation of all international laws and conventions,” the media office declared, adding that the actions reflect Israel’s intention to impose full control over Gaza by force.

The statement further urged the United Nations and the international community to take immediate and concrete action to halt Israel’s continued expansion and occupation of Palestinian territory.

This development comes amid ongoing conflict that has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, destroyed essential infrastructure, and triggered a deepening humanitarian crisis across Gaza.
