Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday that Israeli strikes killed 87 Palestinians and wounded 290 over the previous 24-hour period amid Israel’s ramped-up assault on the Palestinian territory.
“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 wrote on Telegram.
Overnight Israeli attacks included a strike on a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in Gaza City and the bombing of a home in the same area. According to Sky News, the Health Ministry said at least 22 people were killed in the two attacks, more than half being women and children.
Medics in Gaza told the BBC that during the heavy overnight attacks, 38 Palestinians were killed within just a half-hour period. One strike hit an abandoned gas station in Nuseirat, central Gaza, killing 15 people.
Heavy Israeli attacks also hit Khan Younis, southern Gaza, a day after the IDF ordered the forced evacuation of the area. According to The Associated Press, the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said that 10 people were killed in the attacks. Photos and videos from Nasser Hospital show children among the dead.
The latest violence in Gaza comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel would allow a “basic” amount of food into Gaza after more than 70 days of a total blockade, a step he made clear was being made to ensure continued US support for his genocidal war. The UN said on Tuesday that while a few dozen aid trucks entered Gaza, none of the aid has actually been distributed.
The Health Ministry said that since Israel resumed full-scale military operations on March 18, at least 3,427 Palestinians have been killed, and 9,647 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 53,573, and the number of wounded has climbed to 121,688, figures that don’t account for thousands missing and presumed dead under the rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.
Hamas, just lay down your arms and release all the hostages and put an end to this mess that you initiated. You had to know that if you massacred enough Israelis that it was not going to go well in Gaza, until you man up and face the music. You have had 19 months to comply with the ICC and the ICJ. By not doing so, you are destroying Gaza.
If Hamas is "bad" then EVERY group of people in history and around the world who take up arms against an oppressor is "bad". OK we can all admit that Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, but the response, as brutal and uncalled-for it's been, slowly clears the air that Israel was the one that wanted O7 to happen, to "justify" opening the gates of Hell and clearing the land of Palestinians. The world is VERY wrong about Hamas and that's the plan, once again, with Israel's lies leading the foolish and blind!
Can you name an Arab Country that supports Hamas and their methods? Yes, a few of them will send some humanitarian aid to Gaza, but that is it.
Egypt banned Hamas and branded it a terrorist organization. Egypt even built a steel wall between Egypt and Gaza after Hamas was elected, to keep Hamas terrorists out of Egypt.
You routinely condemn Israel for enforcing the blockade, and ignore the role of Egypt, which closed the southern end of the Gaza Strip to enforce the weapons blockade.
Jordan banned Hamas in 1999. In 2013, Jordan rejected requests to allow Hamas to return.
Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah disagreed and were fighting with each other in the Syrian Civil War (Sunni/Shiite conflict).
Syria says- Hamas is an uninvited guest
Saudi Arabia says they will arrest Hamas members on the spot
Can you name a country that supports settler-colonialism and genocide in the name of God?

"Can you name an Arab Country that supports Hamas and their methods?" Israel has between the few Arabs it allows to be citizens and the 4 territories inhabited by Arabs which it occupies many multiple millions of Arabs, in fact more Arabs under its rule than many Arab League states. And Israel as we we all know has for years supported Hamas. So there's your answer: Israel.

Meanwhile the Propaganda media in the US ignores the Gaza slaughter and is focused on gaslighting the American people about how nobody noticed how "out of it" Joe Robinette Biden Jr. was.
We've all been wondering for the past four years who was actually running the government, because it clearly wasn't Biden.
Ah yes, the sudden realization that a man who couldn't be filmed eating dinner at the annual White House press dinner because chewing was beyond him, and would attend for the speeches, might have been in some decline. Who knew?!
Building on my comment of yesterday regarding the empty statement from Western governments on Gaza genocide, I've a response to the Middle East Eye link posted on Antiwar today "UK summons Israeli ambassador and suspends free trade agreement talks with Israel"
You look at the detail, and the UK is postponing FREE trade talks that had been ongoing for 3 years and targeted for 2030. No actual change, no suspension of trade, no sanctions, no boycott, no ban on IDF solider tourism or exclusion of wanted war criminals from use of airspace, no suspension of UK weapons sales/profiteering from genocide, no ban on the US using UK bases for Israeli resupply.
Someone is going to have tea with an Israeli ambassador, who is not being expelled from the UK, and told that the UK is going to pretend to be concerned in public for a spell.
Also today on Antiwar is an article about the apparent profiteering of one or more UK firms from the weapons that just killed a Palestinian para-athlete, one who the Israelis maimed originally in 2014.
It's all bad kabuki, given the widespread popular opposition to the pariah state.
Similar in the USA. New York city – apparently the place of "peace loving " Leftists just made an economic deal with Israel, while there are protests by young and old against Israel and for Palestine. But they are ignored at best, or apprehended, or jailed and deported if not US citizens.
