Israel kills at least 31 in Gaza as aid blockade starves children

Medical sources tell Al Jazeera that at least 31 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since early on Thursday.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza describes Israel’s 60-day blockade on aid entering the territory as the “deliberate strangulation” of the civilian population.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the main objective of his war on Gaza is not the safe return of Israeli captives but “victory over our enemies”.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 52,418 Palestinians and wounded 118,091, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. The Gaza Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.

Man sentenced to 6 years in US prison for anti-Israel vandalism
A Jordanian citizen residing in Florida has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for attacking businesses for their perceived support of Israel, the US Justice Department said on Thursday.
Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, in June last year, and caused more than $450,000 in damage, prosecutors said.
Hnaihen also threatened other businesses in the Orlando area, according to a State Department statement.
“Wearing a mask, under the cover of night, Hnaihen smashed the glass front doors of businesses and left behind ‘Warning Letters’,” it said.
The 43-year-old, who was arrested in July last year and charged in August, pleaded guilty to the charges in December.
