Overnight Israeli strikes on Gaza hit multiple tent camps sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing dozens, Gaza’s Civil Defense agency has said.
One attack hit tents in al-Mawasi, a tent camp in southern Gaza that Israel had declared a so-called “humanitarian zone” but continues to bomb.
“At least 16 martyrs [were killed], most of them women and children, and 23 others were wounded following a direct strike by two Israeli missiles on several tents housing displaced families in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis,” Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the Civil Defense, told AFP.
Another seven Palestinians were killed by an Israeli strike on tents in Beit Lahia, a city in northern Gaza that was the scene of large anti-Hamas protests on Wednesday. Two other Palestinians, a father and his son, were killed by an Israeli strike on another part of al-Mawasi. So far, there’s been no comment from the Israeli military about the attacks.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that at least 39 Palestinians were killed, and one body was recovered from the rubble over the previous 24-hour period. Another 73 Palestinians were wounded by Israeli attacks.
The Health Ministry’s numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues. “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry said.
Since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, which it did with full US support, the ministry said at least 1,691 Palestinians have been killed, and 4,464 were injured. Children account for 595 of those killed, or 35.2%.
We will never live down this shame.
"We"? Don't include me in that "we"! Two words best describe the REAL criminals on this planet, the USA and Israel – disgraceful and criminal!
It’s being done in our names.
With our complicity
with our $
with our shrugs
with our apathy
with our ineptitude
with our looking away
with….
Bravit!…
With our empty eyes…!…. ….
Ironic how where Jesus came from is now under,again, by an illegal and amoral occupation. Wasnt jesus complaining that no one would stay awake with him on his last night? And at the last supper, complaining that all will abandon him in his hour of needed it the most? Funny, how when i came to Bethlehem, it was surrounded by dull gray, ugly grey walls pockmarked by watchtowers with troops inside with weapons. As we waited outside to be allowed in along with the Palestinian workers who had to wait also for Permission to be allowed in after a hard days work. into your own hometown! We waited in the hot sun until we all were allowed inside. Checkpoints inside, then show the israeli guard your pass, and be herded through the turnstiles until you get out/in Bethlehem!!!
The first time i cried when i got to the holy land was this moment. Surreal, to say the least. 2000 years its still the same.
We then went to our hostel, and then we went to dinner. Our Guide/leader( i was one of 12 members of CPT( https://cpt.org/ ) asked for volunteers to go later to get food for breakfast so i was of 2 that volunteered. Well, we got a late start, got lost and finally found our way after zigzagging through dark streets and it was 3am before our leader found her way and i will never forget this. It was the most incredible spritual and physical sensation in my life. We started hearing singing, musical instruments and finally our dark streets was transformed into Mangers Square,lit up like the fourth of july with singing Palestinians, dancing and all smiles and here we were, us 3 just frozen and awed. These are the people who share the blood of Jesus,this is where he came from, and they are under a horrible occupation that treats these human beings like dogs. Just as it was 2000 years ago. They endure with a Grace and strength that is beyond us…
That was 15 years ago, for two weeks as we were taken to different places in the west bank to Witness(seriously that was our function, task,and job to witness, not interfere but to learn and then come home to teach others) what we saw.
Yea, im crying now, this is hard to do everytime i tell this and im an atheist but man, it lasers to ones soul.
My goal was to return, one day with my son but to go to Gaza this time, but im of course, i am now on a blacklist and they would not let go to gaza. That is is my greatest regret in life. im supposed to be there for the greatest crime of our time and here i am now, crying like a friggin baby….on easter morning… safe..well fed, ….
Oh, my apolgies, Happy Easter one and all. Have fun with the kids looking for hidden easter egss filled with candy and such. While Gaza has been under total blockade of any aid or food since March 2..
Its soon about to rain with cold winds where i am,safe, warm,well fed as Palestine gets bulldozed, Gaza is being genocided and i am no better, i do no more than anyone else….i do not condemn, i have no right, just a quaking of my soul of a atheist…
As if Russia, Sudan and China are bastions of peace and love.
Then just add them to the list. It still won't change the fact that the US and Israel are disgraceful and criminal.
Do my tax dollars go to those countries? Do “my” elected representatives give their full throated support to the war crimes committed by those countries? It really shouldn’t be hard to figure out why Israel poses a special problem for non-Zionist Americans, but yet you persist in your idiocy.
Iran continues to speak truth to power!…. …. ….
Iranians have old and wise leaders, we have trash.
War Crimes are in process…..
They got burn alive in their tents while sleeping…! Even Nazi didn't do that…!
By now the headlines are actually wrong. Should read: "The US bombs multiple tent camps". After all Israel has run out of their own bombs a long time ago. Those are American bombs being shipped to Israel daily it appears.
And to add insult to injury, Huckabee is putting Trump's prayer on the wall. And they are all so holy and righteous this Easter on top of far too many corpses all over.

The desert. Is an ocean in which no oar can be dipped….!….!…
Two nuclear powers bombing to kill people, WOMEN AND CHILDREN INCLUDED, living in tents, and they are proud of it, it makes the MAGA PEOPLE feel GREAT.
Really, really brave. Wow! Such bravery beyond compare. The IDF is the template of what a brave, moral army/air force should be. /s
You don't need that /s…! Every intelligent, decent, moral human being knows…!
So this is easter… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/889b1f3fa7d23a15ec9450aabbdddfe66a2f5fb82814ea1835fd578aa74d00b8.jpg
