Gaza’s Health Ministry said Monday that Israeli forces killed at least 48 Palestinians in Gaza, bringing the recorded death toll to 40,786.
“Israeli forces killed 48 people and injured 70 others in three ‘massacres’ of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency. “Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them.”
The ministry said that the 70 Palestinians who were injured bring the total number of wounded since October 7 to 94,224.
Israeli strikes were reported across the Gaza Strip, including in Gaza City, where seven Palestinians were killed in two separate airstrikes. Two Palestinians, including a child, were reported killed in the Nuiserat camp in central Gaza.
According to Reuters, the armed wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad said they confronted Israeli soldiers in northern, central, and southern areas of Gaza with anti-tank rockets and mortar fire.
The true death toll in Gaza is unclear since the Health Ministry’s numbers don’t include the 10,000 people who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble. It’s also unclear how many Palestinians have died due to indirect causes.
A letter written by a group of experts recently published in the British medical journal The Lancet estimated the total number of deaths in Gaza, including those killed by the Israeli military and indirect causes, could reach 186,000. They reached the numbers by using the death toll from the end of June, which was 37,396.
A group of American doctors and nurses who volunteered in Gaza wrote a letter to President Biden last month, and they estimated that the actual death toll has already exceeded 92,000, or 4.2% of the population. The American medical professionals also detailed the horrific violence being committed by Israeli soldiers against children.
”Children live what they learn!”!
Well. It's a start. Hopefully Israel finished the job soon.
Are you bloody kidding me, as in facetious?!…
You shouldn’t reveal so much.
The reparations bill keeps growing by leaps and bounds. Anyone who is a Israeli citizen will be paying beaucoup bucks for decades to come for these damages.
How many Palestinian lives equals the life of one Israeli?…
Does the word Holocaust ring a bell?…
Massacre seems a tad generic…
And children too!…
According to my calculations (nerd noises) its 1:100
It was never about saving Israeli lives
It was always about stealing Palestinians' land
Thanks for following me & if you are following me you must agree with most of
what I write so I consider you a kindred spirit and plan to read all your comments and comment on your comments. I PLAN to read all your comments in the near future and dialog with you
”Onward Christian soldiers, marching into war!”…
Dave, I'm not reading your article on the 48 dead Palestinians because I'm busy mourning the death of 6 Israeli hostages. Have you not seen the local news this morning? The death of the 6 Israeli hostages is so sad. It broke my heart. Don't try to publish an article until another 600,000 Palestinians die.
I'm assuming this "tongue in cheek."
Me too. In my warped Israeli logic, one Israeli life is equal to 100 Palestinian lives.
In fact, lets make a table to make my ideas even clearer
1 Israeli life = 100 Palestinians
1 Israeli life = 200 Palestinian Children
1 Israeli life = 0.0000001 Benjamin Netanyahu's
1 Israeli life = 1 more c**k to put into our Dear and Holy Leaders Mouth
We may have different takes on the situation in my homeland, but it's nice to agree on the terror state Israel
Wait, you support Palestine but not Ukraine? Same struggle!!
Israel needs to leave Gaza immediately.
October 7th was only an excuse for Netanyahu to start the genocide.
Back in the early 2010's, Netanyahu told a cameraman to stop recording for a second so he could say something private
The cameraman continued recording, and Netanyahu said something like this:
The words of Benjamin Netanyahu:
"We don't want peace [in Palestine] because Palestine is a great excuse to continue growing our territory and get more American aid."
