Israeli strikes pounded Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood on Wednesday, killing at least 30 Palestinians and leaving dozens more missing under the rubble.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, the initial strikes targeted a four-story residential building, flattening it and damaging ten nearby homes. At least eight children are among the 30 Palestinians confirmed killed by the bombing.
Al Jazeera reported that the Israeli strikes left nearly 80 people missing and that attacks were continuing across the neighborhood. “The Israeli jets are carrying out more and more deadly attacks across the central and eastern parts of the district, destroying more homes and attacking people trapped inside these residential buildings,” said Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud.
WAFA reported that five Palestinians were killed by another Israeli strike on Shujaiya, following the one that killed at least 30 people.
Mahmoud said rescue workers officially ceased their operations in the area since it was getting too risky for them to work due to the Israeli bombardment. The al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City has also been overwhelmed with casualties following the attacks, as hospitals across Gaza are short on vital supplies due to the total Israeli blockade that’s been imposed since March 2.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Wednesday that at least 60,000 children were “at risk of serious health complications due to malnutrition” due to the Israeli blockade. ” The ministry said the “lack of adequate nutrition and drinking water will compound health challenges, with the continued ban on vaccinations for children, especially polio vaccination.”
Israeli strikes also pounded central and southern Gaza on Wednesday as attacks have been relentless since Israel restarted its genocidal war on March 18, which it did with full support from the US. The Health Ministry said in its daily update that at least 1,482 Palestinians have been killed and 3,688 were injured since the full-scale bombing resumed. Over 500 children are among the dead.
I hate to be redundant but I'm going to be using this piece by Gideon Levy quite often. It's so refreshing to hear the truth. Especially from Israel's media.
In the past two weeks Israel has carried out a "Kafr Qana" nearly every day in the Gaza Strip, and no one is calling for it to stop. The Kafr Qana nightmare has evaporated. There is no longer any need to be make sure not to kill dozens of innocent civilians. No one cares. The IDF spokesperson no longer needs to lie, the prime minister no longer needs to be sorry. The world and Israel's conscience have melted away.

"It's so refreshing to hear the truth." Speak for yourself my brother. I realized that I "can't handle the truth."
The US no longer has a conscience either. What the heck they are celebrating the confirmation of Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel.
Once a country feels they are doing God's work as outlined in the Old Testament of the bible it's hard to convince many otherwise.

Aren't we going to get the standard claim they were targeting a Hamas operative? I mean, shit, it was 4 stories, there had to be a terrorist in there somewhere /s.
Those Hamas types have more command and control centers than the whole US military.
Trump has approved over $14 billion in military aid and weapons sales to Israel. https://www.trackaipac.com/trump
I voted for Trump three times but now I don't even consider him a man.
Glad to hear you changed (he certainly hasn’t).

People and peace: perfect together!
May every bomb dropped, every munition fired, and every Palestinian death be yet another nail in Israel's coffin! (and those who enable Israel's brutal actions!)
Sorry, I don't see any evidence of Israel and the USA being stopped by the world on their daily killing spree. The Houthis tried and are trying but some in the US have already suggested a nuke to "teach them a lesson who is boss".
I'll be remembering the children of Gaza whenever some oligarch or their lackeys bleat about the "sanctity of life" in the aftermath of one of them then or their thugs meeting a well deserved demise.
