Gaza’s Health Ministry said Thursday that Israeli forces killed another 39 Palestinians and wounded 86 in the previous 24-hour period.
The latest violence brings the ministry’s death toll since October 7, 2023, to 41,534 and the number of wounded to 96,092. The toll is an undercount since it doesn’t include the estimated 10,000 people who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble.
“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 on Telegram.
Israeli strikes on Thursday included the bombing of another school-turned-shelter in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Al Jazeera reported that the strike on the Hafsa al-Faluja school killed at least 15 people.
Gaza’s Civil Defense said the dead in the school strike included women and children. Israel took credit for the strike and claimed it targeted a Hamas “command and control center” but offered no evidence.
Schools sheltering displaced have become frequent targets of Israeli bombs in recent months. On September 21, Israel targeted a school in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, killing at least 22 people, including 13 children and six women.
Last week, Gaza’s Health Ministry released the names of 34,344 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces, including 11,355 children. Among the children were 710 infants who did not make it to their first birthday.
The Biden administration continues to support the genocidal slaughter in Gaza by providing weapons to the Israeli military. Israel’s Defense Ministry said Thursday that it secured $8.7 billion in fresh military aid from the US.
On stage, Israel's Golda Meir: "Thank you so much. I can't take all the credit. …America, please get up on the stage." I see the Statue of Liberty! A deafening roar of applause ensues. …I look around, I see my neighbors, feverishly cheering and clapping. …That's it. I woke up from that nightmare and I don't want to sleep ever again.
Israel, with our help, has mastered all the evils, under the sun…
The list of such, is long and distinguished…
The US must take a firm and lasting stance against Israel…
Peace is essential to the region and, I might add, Israel itself is not…
Another Israel hater wishing for Israel destruction.
Tim,
I do not hate anyone. I am an advocate of peace but, when I see so many suffering, it becomes natural to wonder why such things do happen and to conclude, let me say: any potential holocaust is naturally disturbing possibility…
“Children live what they learn”….
Israel understands this very well.
Yes a nation, a regime or an ideology that becomes genocidal has to go. Catastrophically bad, or rather sick and sickening ideas like Nazism and Zionism have to be and will be defeated as they are not compatible with humanity itself. People who adhere to these ideas cannot help but become dehumanized because of it. As you make a point of demonstrating.
Zionism has proven itself to be a branch of the same tree as Nazism and it is destined to go the same way in history.
People don't hate Israel. They hate the actions of its leaders, and MOST Israelis feel the same way. The USA and Israel are MISLED by war criminals! Saying people "hate" Israel is just as much a distortion of the truth as calling someone "antisemitic"! Pull your head out sir!
Correction, most Israeli Jewish citizens (and here in the U.S.) are all in on the carnage in Gaza, West Bank and now Lebanon. According to the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, 96% of Israeli Jews are for the current conduct of the war.
Currently, the Israeli society is very sick. Calling Palestinian babies "snakes", while rooting on the killing of more children, killing of innocents, is a sickness. Miko Peled, in his book, "The General's Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine", Mr. Peled explains how the hate against Palestinians is developed.
Once again no mention of Hamas losses.
Israel bombed them. They should know how many "Hamas losses" there were. But they don't have any idea and they don't care. Just put out the standard Israel took credit for the strike and claimed it targeted a Hamas “command and control center” but offered no evidence and it's on to their next massacre.Now, when someone shells Israel with disregard for civilians with their "5 o'clock Charlie" bombs it's called terrorism.
The indiscriminate bombing was predicted by Norman Finkelstein in an interview by Chris Hedges. I believe it was on October 11, 2023. He predicted that the final act would be wholesale slaughter, with the death and displacement of Palestinians to the Sinai desert. He predicted that the U.S. would be the lead provider of the means to "finish the job", as Donald Trump said.
Just waht I would expect!!!
Absolutely horrid
Lebanon needs Russian S-400 ground to air rockets to knock down the Zionist flown F-16s.
Here's looking at you, Biden. You're the one killing women and children. You provide the bastards with the means to commit ethnic cleansing. You're equally culpable for war crimes committed by your client.
I hope your protege loses in November, and I hope history depicts you as exactly what you are.
