Israeli forces killed at least 111 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, Al Jazeera reported, citing medical sources, as Israeli strikes continued to pound targets across the Strip.
The majority were killed by an Israeli strike on a residential building in the northern city of Beit Lahia that was sheltering forcibly displaced families. Gaza’s Government Media Office said 72 Palestinians were killed in the strike, although the number isn’t confirmed. The Health Ministry said nearly 30% of the victims of the massacre were children.
Beit Lahia is one of the cities where Israeli forces have been conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign, forcing Palestinian civilians to flee under the threat of death. Beit Lahia, Beith Hanoun, and Jabalia have been under a complete Israeli siege since early October.
Israeli strikes on Sunday also hit the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza. Middle East Eye reported that at least 10 were killed in Bureij. According to WAFA, at least four Palestinians were killed in Nuseirat.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily death toll update, which it releases about mid-day Gaza time, that at least 47 Palestinians were killed and 139 were wounded in the previous 24-hour period. The toll only includes dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues, and rescuers have been unable to access certain areas in the besieged northern cities.
“There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the Health Ministry said on Telegram. The ministry said the violence brought its death toll since October 2023 to 43,846 and the number of wounded to 103,740.
A group of American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza estimated in an open letter to President Biden in October that the US-backed Israeli bombing campaign and siege have killed at least 118,908 Palestinians, including over 60,000 who have starved to death. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who led the letter, told Antiwar.com in a recent interview that the estimate was the bare minimum they came up with by looking at the available data.
The US continues to support the genocidal slaughter by providing military aid to Israel. Last week, a UN panel said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, and Human Rights Watch said Israel was carrying out ethnic cleansing, but the US denied both charges to ensure weapons shipments continue to flow.
We are the great evil.
Yes, but the beauty of our banality is traced by the elegant arc of devastation, poverty and collapse, left in the wake of our responsibility to protect the rules based international order from democracy.
Our personal testament to banality is the empty chamber of one firing squad soldier's rifle. We strive to vote for the lesser of two evils no matter how fantastically (or even fanatically) evil they might be. We are morally adaptive, carrion eating, primates flinging missiles and bombs for poop.
Civilization is not conducive to profit maximization in the near term. Markets are the enemy of the US economy now, so it destroys them as policy, shattering them into private equity-sized bites by fiat relying on primacy and media domination–where it can–to mow the economic and industrial lawn all around the US economy, making it stand out and above in terms of GDP (and to secretly regress in terms of US per capita PPP and wealth stratification).
I love your comments. You are excellent at writing out the truth.
Thanks!
Yep. Pal is a good egg who helped me feel less insane amongst the prevailing cults for some time.
Why can't you just say it in plain terms? The Israelis and their American dupes/whores are committing MASS MURDER on Palestinians and Lebanese and the world turns a blind eye! All of those enabling this mass slaughter of INNOCENTS should die at the end of a rope! We ALL have to pray to God Almighty that this vulgar human behavior is dealt with and the perpetrators locked away FOREVER!
Attention down voters! We respect everyone’s right to vote either way but it would be better for down voters to perhaps articulate the reason as to why… Then, we all may learn something…
There are sockpuppets in the midst.
What is this, a contest? This makes me remember the Japanese in the Sino Japanese war where the latter had a contest going on on who will kill the most of the Chinese near Nanjing China
The US is a disgusting hell hole of cowards who will starve when their semi-slave farm workers cannot work outside in the heat.
There is nothing left to say. Israel must be destroyed. It cannot be allowed to exist, any more than Nazi Germany could be allowed.
I understand, full well, your point Mark yet, not really practical…
How many more have to die before what is left of Hamas realizes that it time to surrendered and end the killing?
Keep passing along the responsibility away from those who are conducting the genocide. Especially in North Gaza where the terrorists have promised to kill, by starvation if necessary, any human being that refuses to leave. If Hamas only knew that you could just flat out state your terroristic intentions maybe they could have done the same in the past and avoided the terrorist designation(/s).
All Zionists can do is be smug, and pass the buck..being taken from Uncle Sam's wallet. Israel is a failed state completely out of control. It has the shovels..lets hope that it burries itself soon, or someone from abroad teaches them a lesson…
Your confirming that the IDF is deliberately committing genocide as a matter of policy ?
Hey! Murdering cowardly terrorist hamas a holes – ready to surrender yet?
When, then? When you run out of women and children to hide behind?
Yeah, thought so.
IDF – continue killing!
Are you lost friend?….
This is Antiwar.com!
You're in the wrong venue. People here oppose the use of force – and threats of force – to bring harm to innocents.
Bye.
Thanks RBE!
The carnage continues, unabated!…

The kill ratio is far too high and, ultimately, to what purpose?…
If Trump allows a continuance of this genocide he will GO DOWN, meaning his popularity will start a tailspin!
And what in trumps' history tells you he will do something different?
To wipe most of the Palestinians out and create future resentment in the surviving population so that they can continue to bomb and kill for commercial and geopolitical purposes.
