Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that Israeli attacks killed 106 Palestinians and wounded 367 over the previous 24-hour period as relentless Israeli strikes continue to pound the Strip amid a more than two-month total blockade.
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 wrote on Telegram.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli attacks included a strike on a fish market west of Gaza City, which killed seven civilians. Al Jazeera reported that three Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes in central Gaza.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 16 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza since dawn on Thursday, meaning most of the deaths reported by the Health Ministry occurred on Wednesday. Attacks on Wednesday included heavy strikes in Gaza City, which targeted a restaurant and a school sheltering displaced Palestinians.
Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said Thursday that its forces were engaged in “fierce point-blank clashes” with Israeli soldiers in the southern city of Rafah. There have been reports of Israeli casualties and that IDF troops had been trapped under the rubble of a building that was rigged with explosives, but so far, there has been no confirmation from Israeli media.
The Health Ministry said that since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, at least 2,651 Palestinians have been killed, and 7,223 were injured. The numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues.
Since October 7, 2023, the ministry’s death toll has reached 52,760, and the number of wounded has climbed to 119,264, figures that don’t account for thousands missing and presumed dead under the rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.
Looks like the body count is growing every 24 hours.
I've noticed that Israel normally keeps the number of killed in double digits. Bad optics when it hits triple digits. They pay close attention to numbers. That's why they allowed Oct 7th to happen and even contributed to the number that were killed. They needed the death count to reach 4 figures. Otherwise, no genocide.
" That's why they allowed Oct 7th to happen" You have jumped down the conspiracy rabbit hole. The truth is that Hamas started the war on Oct 7.
Right. They were allowed to start the war. The obviousness of it all is so apparent that it's almost unbelievable that anyone would buy into it. Especially considering what has transpired since then. Now, who exactly benefited the most? Not even close. Greater Israel was the plan all along.
Most Americans have no idea the nightmare their tax dollars allow in Gaza and everywhere the USA bestows its "graces"!
If they have the idea or know what’s happening, there’s nothing that can be done to stop it. Nobody in Wash. cars about protests, letters, or any other means of trying to stop the atrocities. Wash. runs on MIC and Zionist lobby funding when it comes to Israel/Palestine policy. And, if the protests do come, they will be attacked as in the Kent State massacre years ago. Trump is 100% Zionist Israel and there’s no stopping him from continuing to fund the horrors in Palestine. Congress does nothing because they would be biting the hands that feeds their greed and power.
The recent defeat of the MAGA push to enact the tyrannical Anti-Semitism Awareness Act may be a sign of good things to come.
Many thanks to Rand Paul & all the Democrats on the committee who delivered the upvotes to pass the pro-freedom amendments that caused the pro-Israel committee chair to withdraw the Bill.
The Lobby got a smack on the nose and is pissed!
Predictably, there's scant MSM media coverage of the Lobby's defeat and skewed search results bury the news on google!
But never fear! Israel and its allies are still hard at work protecting the Israeli war criminals, criminalizing protesters and blackballing & defunding pro-Palestinian voices.
And of course in Palestine, it's open season on journalists documenting Israel's massive war crimes.
But we won the last round defending freedom in America from the multi-pronged attack by militarists, imperialists and zionists!
It's going as planned. Kill as many s you can so that the rest flee or beg for mercy to be relocated. After all they have free reign to do whatever they want with the USA's help and full support.
When they ae all gone from Gaza and the West Bank Trump will praise himself for having achieved "peace"
… And that never gonna happen…! Palestinians would outlive Trump…!
More bad news on the ground but among the powers complicit in the Palestinian genocide the tide appears to be turning, prominently in yesterday's FT Editorial:
*And turning again. Also yesterday: Reuters reported Exclusive: US, Israel discuss possible US-led administration for Gaza, sources say. A model comparable to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq … https://reut.rs/4d8Eyms
So our cretinous clowns are considering a replay of their failed Iraq model that left $8B lost and launched the Ba'athist insurgency. What could possibily go wrong?
There has to be a more humane way to kill all these people every single day. Instead of blowing up these civilians so savagely, why not just use gas chambers to do the job? I'm sure AIPAC could easily get the ghouls in the US congress to pay for them.
Tragic yet…..!……!……
"There has to be a more humane way to kill all these people every single day…why not just use gas chambers."
In its genocide-mania, Zionists have explicitly called for that:
Israeli television personality Elad Barashi doesn't care about "humaneness" – just wants all Palestinians murdered fast: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60a3c9d7a94f522ccbfa38edc0931ec7f32ce5a03ec0f9795715b590b867121b.png

"I'm sure AIPAC could easily get the ghouls in the US congress to pay for them" And trump would approve.
In addition to warfare, the Zionists are exploiting famine quite effectively, along with an uptick in plague futures.
There have been reports of Israeli casualties and that IDF troops had been trapped under the rubble of a building that was rigged with explosives, but so far, there has been no confirmation from Israeli media.
Poetic justice.
That is true and I am not surprised at Israel silence…!
Same silence when Hamas executed all IDF soldiers involved in Sinwar killing…!
"Same silence when Hamas executed all IDF soldiers involved in Sinwar killing" What a stupid statement!. Tell me how (1) Hamas would know the names of IDF soldiers that killed Sinwar and (2) how would Hamas "execute" those soldiers? BTW since you are an "expert" on Sinwar killing can you explain why he had only two body guards at the end?
And……. How many children:

Always hide the genocide
Making America Genocidal Again!
Media people who protect Israel from adverse comments on their genocide are complicit in those mass murders. Blood is on their hands too.
