Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone events timeline for March 22, 2024
In the northern part of the Gaza Strip, Israeli operations persist within the Al - Shifa hospital complex. Palestinian forces launched multiple incursions, prompting the Israeli command to announce their plan to complete counter-terrorism measures within a few days.
Social media is buzzing about a video released by Al-Jazeera, showing Israeli attacks on unarmed Palestinians near Khan Yunis. Media aligned with Hamas presented this footage as further proof of Israeli troops committing war crimes in the enclave.
Israeli police conducted raids in over ten settlements in the West Bank, while in the Dolev settlement, another terrorist attack occurred: a gunman opened fire on an Israeli minibus with a machine gun, injuring seven people.
Skirmishes persist along the Lebanese-Israeli border. Hezbollah reported successful strikes on Israeli military targets, including Ruwaisat al - Alam and Jal al - Alam. Simultaneously, the Israel Defense Forces were active in several settlements in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the US draft resolution on the Gaza Strip was blocked by Russia and China in the UN Security Council due to the absence of a clear call for a ceasefire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that the IDF would proceed with the planned military operation in Rafah regardless.
