Israeli strikes on Gaza on Sunday killed a total of 29 people, including 10-year-old quintuplets, The Associated Press has reported.
The quintuplets were killed alongside their mother and 18-month-old sibling in a strike that targeted a home in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. An AP reporter counted the bodies at the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Mohammed Awad Khatab, the children’s grandfather, told reporters: “The six children have become body parts. They were placed in a single bag. What did they do? Did they kill any of the Jews? … Will this provide security to Israel?”

Israel has slaughtered children and babies throughout its 10-month genocidal war, including three-day-old twins who were killed last week while their father was out getting their birth certificate. That same day, the US State Department approved $20 billion in arms deals for Israel.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday that at least 40,099 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in Gaza since October 7, which includes over 16,000 children. The total is considered a low estimate since it doesn’t account for the estimated 10,000 people who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble. It’s also unclear how many people have died due to food and medicine shortages and the spread of disease caused by the Israeli siege and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
One has to admire the courage of Israelis. Nobody else would dare to show the world such level of inhumanity. …Okay. …You got me. …We deserve the admiration because we give them the weapons to make it happen. …I know. I know. I agree. We're not that evil. We're just stupid.
The question is when this stupidity ends…?!
At one point I hated myself for wanting someone to make Israel one large crater. Now it's an everyday thought and I'm good with myself. Put that fucking rabid dog down.
Wars, there is no rabid dog without the feeding and unleashing of it by the US.
Exactly… Without US, Israel is Nothing…!
And? It can still be put down. And deservingly so.
Anyone who risks putting down the genocide risks being next in line. Therefore, a conundrum. Unless all sides go for broke and most of the world ends.
The empire is evil. As most become.
More US citizens have to draw red lines.
I realize(d) that. I just don't care. The world should end.
Oh, brave new world, that has such people in it.
See my prior post about “We Don’t Care.” LOL. Great minds think alike.
True on the "great minds" part. đŸ˜‰
But I don't care because I flat ass have given up. If an ongoing genocide doesn't outrage us as a people, nothing will. The "we" you speak of are those who are more worried about "Dancing with the Stars" than they are about women and children getting slaughtered.
I am with you, brother. We lost our innocence and can no longer pretend. I was impressed that we rhymed like that at about the same time, while talking about different things.
Killed by US bombs, bought by the US federal government, with money stolen from the American people. But people are starting to wake up to the fact that we have owners not representatives. And the reason they call it the "American Dream" is you have to be asleep to believe it.
F*ck Kamala Harris and the horse she rode in on. All of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The horse did not have a choice. She did have choices…
Nice, Donna, … but I believe he was referring to Biden.
Each horror is worse than the last.
Israel delenda est.
Awful, awful, awful. Can one not close Wasrael down?
