At least 25 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 children, and another 30 wounded in a pre-dawn Israeli strike on a home in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza that has been under siege for weeks, Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Sunday.

A reporter for the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera posted footage of the bodies from the scene on X, saying at least 32 people had been killed and that the death toll was one of the biggest so far in Jabalia, where hundreds of people have been killed since the Israeli operation began last month.

Anas al-Sharif said the home belonged to the Aloush family and that no civil defence agencies or ambulances had been able to reach the area due to the Israeli siege and that locals were still searching for more victims.

It was not possible to independently verify the report as Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza.

    Not once did I see the descriptor “Hamas run.” It’s about goddamn time Western media started moving away from that to cast aspersions on the truthfulness of Gazan government statements.

    Also,

    A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.

      That’s 70% out of 8000 deaths verified by the UN, not the full 40,000 that that the Gazan ministry of health claim have been killed.

    If you know someone who is Jewish, talk to them. Let them know that you support them and their culture. Also let them know that you in no way support Zionism and the systematic genocide of the current Israeli regime. The only way this can stop is both ceasing arms shipments and most importantly creating a culture shift away from violence that comes from within the Israeli population.

      Yeah probably not happening. Remember that both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan needed to be occupied and forced to undergo this cultural shift.

        Apartheid South Africa didn’t, though. They’re a much more recent and also more similar regime, and what it took was a combination of being shunned by the international community and internal resistance.

        Just because the West has a huge violence hammer (band name) doesn’t mean that every rogue nation is a nail.

          Apartheid South Africa was much less extreme than modern Israel though. Zionists straight up want to genocide Palestinians for Lebensraum; unlike SA Apartheid, which only requires violence in the face of resistance, Zionism is an inherently violent ideology.

      Not saying not to do what you say but Jewish population in America is only 2% this is not enough to make a change. We should talk with anybody who defend Israel or is neutral with the occupation. We should continue and encourage people to boycott companies supporting Israel and we should encourage people to try voting to a 3rd party

        Israel has a population of ~9.75 million.

        The US has a population of ~335 million people.

        As of 2020, the American Jewish population is estimated at 7.5 million people, accounting for 2.4% of the total US population.

        If All American Jews managed to convince just 1.3 Israeli’s, that’d be the entire population influenced.

        But perhaps you’re saying 2% isn’t enough to affect change internally within the US? Probably not true either, 2% is 1/50 people. And as we all know from tinfoil wearing conspiracy nuts, Jews have disproportionate representation in politics. (I do not know or care whether that statement has any veracity; I’m saying it sarcastically.)
