Dozens of Palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded as Israeli forces step up attacks in Gaza in advance of the truce that came into effect on Friday morning.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported on Thursday 27 fatalities from a strike on the Abu Hussein School. Run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the school in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza was housing many displaced Palestinians.
Israeli forces also launched fresh attacks on the Indonesian Hospital, targeting the main entrance and power generators.
Ashraf al-Qudra, the ministry’s spokesperson, said the hospital had come under “intense bombardment”, and that “large parts of the building” were being targeted.
More than 200 patients, medical staff and internally displaced people were currently at the hospital in Beit Lahiya, which has been under siege for a week.
The Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has soared to 14,854, the government media office in the blockaded enclave said on Thursday.
About 7,000 people remain unaccounted for, including more than 4,700 children, the media office said.
kt notes: thus total killed possibly exceeds 22,000

ReplyDeleteSo, mfer, those Gazans who have been killed.by the Zionists r collateral damages!
DeleteKeep farting, otherwise u wouldn't keep yr f*Cking lunacy.
Wumao, you are perfectly happy with the thousands of Ukrainian civilians killed by Russka strikes, so what have you got to complain about Israeli strikes, other than being anti-Jews.
DeleteWow…
DeleteThousands(???) of Ukrainian civilians killed by Russka strikes?
Vis-a-vis the incessant killings/bombings carried out by the Zionists within just the Noryhern part of Gaza Strip!
Keep lying through yr teeth, Zionists lover.
Anti-Jews?
DeleteSo simplistic, as usual from a label tagging know-nothing f*ck!
There r basically 3 types of Jew.
The secret & manipulative capitalists at the top. These mfers would do ANYTHING - humane &/or animalistic - to achieve their moneyed empires with capitalistic tenticles all over the globe.
The Zionists who r dead-minded in building their claimed Yahweh given Palestine into a gentile free Jewish Eden. These ruthless single-minded humanoid animals would do ANYTHING possible to achieve their aim, with the various sopo helps provided by their capitalistic elites mentioned above.
Then the ordinary Jewish lambs who r been coagulated into an possible Holocaust victims, to be instigated & used by their capitalists & Zionists as a worldwide sopo tool to garner supports.
I despite deeply the top two groups of these jewish outcasts & wishing them forever karmic hell. For the ordinary jews, I have only pity for their impulsive & emotive responses just to survive at all odds!
