Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that Israeli attacks killed at least 48 Palestinians and wounded 152 over the previous 24-hour period as the relentless US-backed Israeli assault on the besieged territory continues.
The Health Ministry said two more bodies were recovered from the rubble. Its numbers only account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals.
“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.
Many children were among the victims of Israeli strikes on Thursday. According to Al Jazeera, three children were killed by the bombing of a tent shelter in Nuseirat, central Gaza.
Four children were also reported killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza City, which also killed their parents. “Witnesses, neighbors and those who are close to the family, as well as surviving family members and civil defense crews, had to collect the flesh of the children – their limbs that were blown into the streets and neighboring residential buildings,” said Hani Mahmoud, a reporter for Al Jazeera.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, at least 10 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza City. Medical sources told Reuters that Israeli missiles hit a police station near a crowded market in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killing at least 10 Palestinians.
Israel claimed it targeted a Hamas and Islamic Jihad “command and control center,” but offered no evidence for its claim. According to WAFA, a total of 18 civilians were killed by Israeli strikes on Jabalia.
Also on Thursday, the Health Ministry said that Israeli strikes that hit the Durra Children’s Hospital in Gaza City a day earlier had put the facility out of service.
The Health Ministry said that since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, at least 1,978 Palestinians have been killed and another 5,207 were injured. Since October 2023, the ministry’s death toll has reached 51,355, and the number of wounded has climbed to 117,248.
Gaza’s Government Media Office has previously said that including Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble brings the death toll to about 62,000. Other estimates that account for indirect deaths caused by the US-backed Israel siege put the death toll in the hundreds of thousands.
We keep seeing war crimes but yet we do not see any reprisals?….
Any more Antiwar can just 'copy and paste" those articles. Almost the same thing daily, only the numbers vary slightly.
Israel needs to take a Covid 19 "vaccine"!
Hopefully, in the ass!….
A large majority of the Israeli population took the covid vaccines. They will all be dead within 3-10 years.
The Hamas war crimes are causing reprisals.
Little turd jake showing up 3 days later hoping no one notices his pithy bullshit comments.
4Q-
Fuck you too.
Seems like they are using some new and/or experimental weapons on these poor souls. There was an article on a ME site last week with eyewitness saying that they bombed tents, and the fire was so intense that it melted metal pans and bones of victims. Most of the victims are children, like with the medics no weapons and Hamas fighters present…depopulation of the strip going on.
Trump sent them new cluster bombs and other more lethal weapons.
Trump cries about Putin killing 5 or so Ukrainians but is OK with Israel killing 50,000 plus men women and children.
99.9% of that 50,000 plus happened during the last democrat regime.
Well just wait and see Trump has sent plenty in his first three months. He will most likely proud himself to have sent 100%, he cannot be outdone by someone else.
It could be said that the US is sending Israel the rope on which it is hanging itself. Or at least it’s international reputation.
Yes, and Trump chided them for not doing enough and saying he would give Israel all it needed to "get the job done". There is no defending Trump on Gaza. There has been a total blockade of aid since March 2nd. It is completely inexcusable for him to allow that.
"5" or so?-Ukranian cities are being pounded with missiles.
Remember, these are numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry. There’s no reason to think that by leveling one of the most densely populated places on the face of the earth with 2000 pound bombs there would be anything more than a handful of innocents “accidentally” killed.
Everyone involved in this genocide will have a heavy price to pay eventually! Nazi soldiers and officials from WW2 were and are still hunted for prosecution. Israeli soldiers and personnel will now be the hunted as they try to move around this planet! No one should be allowed to get away with the mass murder we are witnessing in Gaza/West Bank! No one! Hezbollah, Hamas, whoever – the resistance needs to gear for the future Israeli hunt!
100%
The reason Germans and Japanese were tried for their War crimes after WWII was because they had the misfortune of being on the losing side.
The reason the Axis powers were tried for war crimes is because they were guilty of war crimes.
And if the Allies had lost the War they would have been tried for their War crimes.
The so called "resistance" started this war with a bloody massacre ,full well knowing the response, and then playnig the victims card.
The Nazis could use that same justification for their "reprisals" against civilians in the aftermath of what they considered "terrorist" attacks by resistance fighters in France, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia….
That is why the Geneva Convention was convened and specific laws enacted prohibiting Collective punishment.
Only the Nazis started wars by entering other countries-Hamas and Hez started these wars.
Britain and France declared War on Germany in 1939. Germans could argue that they were fighting a defensive War against anti-German aggression. For example, Germany only invaded Norway because of Churchill’s War plan to occupy that country.
full well knowing the response
Yes, everyone knew Israel would ignore international law and use rules of engagement that only barbarians without a conscience would use. But for some reason you think it's justified. It isn't.
Have Hamas and Hez followed the rules of war? Oct 7 was calculated to start a war,and then let them play victim.
As compared to Israel? They've acted almost saintly.
‘so-called “resistance “ ‘. You’re implying it’s terrorism and not resistance because you seem to think that people should just naturally accept being ethnically cleansed and massacred if the perpetrators are Jewish. It’s pretty impressive how you can simultaneously view yourselves as victims and yet behave as diabolical chosen-one supremacists at the same time. You are truly mentally unwell.
There were no Israelis in Gaza or Lebanon on Oct 7. Oct 7 mas a massacre-Hamas set the tone.
It's clear the Israeli government is using the one million children in Gaza as hostages against the Palestinian Resistance.
And what about the use of these innocents as hostages by Hamas and its ilk, provoking a war thru a massacre ,full well knowing that all Palestinians would pay the price?
Collective Punishment of civilian men, women, children and babies is (or at least it was) a War crime since the end of WWII.
“According to TASS, Russian officials say Moskalik was the only person killed by the blast.”
There’s no mention of any weapons prohibited by international conventions, such as chemical or biological weapons. Looks like a clean military kill.
Except anybody could have been in or around that booby-trapped car. The fact that his wife or son or mother or an innocent bystander wasn't blown up was just pure chance. Usually we call these type of operations "terrorism" when the "bad guys" do it.
Yes, Hamas should have known that Israel would out butcher them by a magnitude not even a designated terrorist organization could dream of doing. After all, you did.
On this eve of Pope Francis' funeral Mass, it should be remembered that Francis would call the only Catholic Church in Gaza every night to check in on the parish since the beginning of the mass slaughter of the innocents trapped in the Strip. It may be the only reason that Church is still standing.
Pope Francis called the Holy Family Church in Gaza City every night during the conflict. This tiny Catholic church was the only one in the Gaza Strip. The Pope's nightly calls were a source of comfort and connection for the small Christian community and those sheltering at the church. Francis called them every night until his final hours.
