Israel’s relentless assault on the Gaza Strip continued on Wednesday, and Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that at least 64 Palestinians were killed in the previous 24-hour period.
The latest violence brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7 to 41,084, according to the Health Ministry’s figures, which don’t account for the 10,000 people estimated to be missing and presumed dead under the rubble. The ministry said the number of wounded has reached 95,029.
Strikes in Gaza on Wednesday included the bombing of a UN school turned shelter for displaced Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The strike killed at least 14 people, including two children and a woman, and wounded 18 others.
The UN’s Palestinian relief agency, UNRWA, said six of its employees were killed in the bombing. “Among those killed was the manager of the UNRWA shelter and other team members providing assistance to displaced people,” UNRWA said. “This school has been hit five times since the war began. It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children.”
Without providing evidence, Israel claimed that it targeted a Hamas “command and control” center in Nuseirat.
An Israeli strike targeted a home in Khan Younis early Wednesday, killing 11 people. According to Al Jazeera, the European Hospital, which received the casualties, said the dead included six brothers and sisters, ranging in age from 21 months to 21 years old.
Gaza’s Civil Defense said that an Israeli strike targeted Palestinians waiting in a line for bread in Gaza City, killing three people and wounding seven. Late Tuesday, a strike was reported in the Jabalia refugee camp that targeted a home, killing nine, including six women and children.
The Biden administration continues to support the genocidal slaughter in Gaza by providing weapons to the Israeli military. A senior Israeli Air Force official recently acknowledged that without the US military aid, Israel would not be able to sustain operations in Gaza for more than a few months.
As the chief financial and political sponsor of this over the top Killing Machine Israeli state, how is the United States ever going to be able to speak of "human rights" or "racism" or "rule of law" to anybody ever again without being laughed at?
Same as it is doing now and ever has done, with money & the gun.
Unfortunately, the concepts of human rights and rule of law are so corrupted, that they're almost extinct. There is a mountain of historical evidence to convict Netanyahu and his immoral government, they even incriminate themselves daily with outrageous genocidal statements. It is irrefutable that war criminals run israel, yet not a word of condemnation from any western nations. Disgusting.
Only a country that feels itself vulnerable and desperate would go to these brutal extremes in full view of the World. The Israelis don’t want to end up like the French in Algeria.
Paragraph two: almost one hundred thousand wounded!
How many Palestinians have to die before Israel is held accountable for its actions? As long as these double standards exist to "hide" Israeli war crimes, no one is safe!
Pretty certain that the u.s. and Israel want a complete genocide with all survivors to be displaced. This has been the actual plan since before the 1948 nakba and it seems nobody can stop them.
An Israeli strike targeted a home in Khan Younis early Wednesday, killing 11 people. According to Al Jazeera, the European Hospital, which received the casualties, said the dead included six brothers and sisters, ranging in age from 21 months to 21 years old.
An everyday occurrence that brings nary a word about "sorrow" or "outrage" or an announcement of a shipment of more weapons.
Yes, I doubt strongly Mr Biden or Ms Harris are going to mention this tragedy today like they did with the endless mourning for the six (6?!!) dead hostages the other week.
Every EU decision makers who are quiet on this massacre belongs to Hell…! US and Israeli officials already reserved a place there…!
Passionate but a bit extreme…. All hope is not lost netman.
After they go to hell… I am hoping to have Zionist Free US and EU…!
I hear you, I do but I just cannot give up on the hopes for true peace between all people, of all faiths…
That’s never gonna happen in this life cycle and it’s a fact that you should accept it…! The only hope I have is that for the next life cycle of 25000 years, humans of all race, color and religion could live peacefully because they are new rebooted people with no past memories …!
Egotism and peace, are incompatible. That is the situation, in a nutshell. Israel is trapped in its own game and that is a long way to go…
To be, clean, clear and concise?… This is total arrogance.
Christ?…
”Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me, with every step I take, a peace for eternity! With God as our father, Christ as his son! Mary as the mother, there will be peace in heaven and on earth, for everyone! Amen.”
Time for the US and partners to stop funding the conflict and effort to negotiate a truly, long lasting peace in the region, which cannot happen, if we continue to divide and conquer, in essence.
Our job must be more neutral and I wholly object to the inordinate amount of money and weapons we give to Israel.
How objective does that make us?…
I should add, my husband is a Sephardic Jew and a true man of peace. Simply because he has seen so much WAR!
He is also an extraordinary artist!
He has one self portrait and it is his masterpiece!
The painting is huge and takes up an entire wall and it is, he, himself, hanging on a cross, just like the Christ! A real show stopper!
He puts up well with me, a Christian and indeed his four daughters as well. 😉
"The latest violence brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7 to 41,084, according to the Health Ministry’s figures,…"
I don't pay any attention anymore to these figures. the real death toll is many times that. a more reasonable figure would be close to 200,000 dead. and several 100,000s wounded and sick.

It's in Russia's interest to let Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu self-destruct without aiding their cause.
The Kremlin has good relations with Hamas and Israel, but there is no reason to go beyond providing aid to Gaza, the West Bank, and a new homeland for Palestinians. Hamas is quite aware the current strife against Israel and America is existential.
If Russia is supplying munitions to Iran, the Houthis, and Hezbollah, that's as much as the Axis of Resistance could ever reasonably expect from Moscow.
