Gaza’s Health Ministry said Thursday that Israeli forces killed at least 41 Palestinians and wounded 131 in the previous 24-hour period.
The ministry’s numbers only include dead and wounded Palestinians who have been brought to hospitals and morgues. Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 45 were killed by Israeli attacks on Thursday.
Strikes were reported in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp and in Gaza City in the north. An Al Jazeera reporter said Israeli troops began a ground incursion into Beit Lahia, a northern city that’s been under a total siege since the beginning of October and has been declared a disaster zone due to the lack of food, water, hospitals, doctors, services, and communications.
Northern Gaza has been under Israeli siege as Israeli forces are attempting to carry out an ethnic cleansing plan known as the “general’s plan.” The campaign involves imposing a starvation blockade, and the amount of aid that entered Gaza in October was the lowest in any month since October 2023.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said that the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia had again come under Israeli attack. “Israeli occupation forces bombed the desalination plant for the kidney dialysis department, the engineering and maintenance department, and water tanks inside Kamal Adwan Hospital,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
“Israeli occupation aircraft bombed the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital, and due to the bombing, the medicine warehouse burned down, medical supplies that were received 5 days ago from the World Health Organization,” the ministry added.
Hospital workers were injured as a result of the renewed Israeli attacks. The hospital had barely any staff as it was before the latest attack after Israeli troops arrested dozens of medical workers. “The hospital has no medical teams – doctors, surgeons, orthopedics. More than 33 people between doctors and nurses have also been arrested,” Eid Sabbah, the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan, told Al Jazeera.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the latest violence brought its death toll to 43,204 and the number of wounded to 101,641, figures that are considered undercounts. A group of American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza have estimated the US-backed Israeli bombing campaign and siege has killed at least 118,908 Palestinians, including over 60,000 who have starved to death.
Scariest, evil Halloween ghouls, because they are real.
Have they clarified at any point where Gazans are actually supposed to go and allowed to live?
My assumption has been the plan is genocidal mass murder while herding as many people as possible toward Egypt. It's possible Israeli-American real estate interests would be happy with a workable chunk of the territory now, seeing as it would cost billions to develop more seaside condos and discos. They probably figure the disease and wounds and starvation and psychological toll will kill off more Palestinians in the short to medium term while Israel regroups for the next push, funded by the American taxpayer.
It's not possible to parody or overstate how evil these people are.
Israel wants the Palestinians to go to Egypt but Egypt doesn't take them and of course they know that
Perhaps if the Arab world had treated their refugees more kindly in 1948, allowing them citizenship,the world would not be in this mess
Now you're going back to 1948 to blame Israel's ongoing genocide of today.
People decry about the fate of the Palestinians,but no Arab country aided them.
So, you're just confirming that you're going back to 1948 to justify Israel's ongoing genocide. Damn man, you really are on a roll.
Which of the Arab countries had the backing of the US to back them militarily against Israeli terror and mass murder?
If the Arab world had accepted the partition plan in 1947, we would have a peaceful, prosperous Middle East. But the wanted it all. And lost.
Not true, why should the Palestinians accept less of their land in the first place. Especially when terrorist groups like Irgun and Stern were already attacking them? The Balfour agreement was an affront to the Arab/Muslim world especially the Palestinians.
At the time of the UN partition plan, the population of Mandatory Palestine was about 1/3 Jewish and 2/3 Arab, with the Jews more concentrated in urban areas, and Arabs in rural areas. In fact, Jerusalem has had a Jewish majority since the 1860s.
And after the proposal was made, the Arabs could have made a counter-proposal, but instead, they voted to settle the issue by violence – by war.
The violence between Arabs and Jews started in the 1920s. During the annual Nabi Musa procession in Jerusalem in April 1920, violent rioting broke out in protest at the implementation of the Balfour Declaration, which supported the establishment of a homeland for Jews.
So, your historical description is not accurate.
Jerusalem never had a Jewish majority…care to share your cut and paste??
Israel wants the Palestinians to go to Egypt but Egypt doesn't take them and of course they know that
If nobody answers your question, the answer is No. This "keep them on the move and kill them wherever they go" is a basic part of the plan and apparently in somebody's books from the 1940s.
The US like everybody else.
Israel "justifies" its genocide because of the "terrorists" hiding behind civilians allegedly, while at the same time creating MANY MORE future "terrorists" who will be looking to "settle the score"! What a sick irony!
I'm waiting for Vegas to start with an over/under number on how many Palestinians Israel butchers on a daily basis. It's been over a year now so they should be able to look at last year's numbers for a reference.
Cynical but true and your point is well taken wars!
So call for release of all hostages and peace.
How many times does Netanyahu have to say there will be no PERMANANT cease fire even if the hostages are released?
You know that the social fabric of Israel is completely shredded when the military employs the Hannibal Directive. Everyone in Israel has been a part of the criminal military apparatus at one time or another.
A ray of hope for Arab Americans:

Is that before or after he allows Israel to "get the job done"?
Israel should be removed from the UN for starters, and then a possible massive coordinated attack on all of their air bases. It is completely intolerable to allow this sick apartheid state to exist in its present form. If hitting the bases does not work, destroy every illegal settlement with maximum force.
