US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

It is over five months into Israel’s genocidal onslaught on Gaza, and the regime’s attacks keep claiming lives of innocent Gazans. Ten Palestinians were massacred and several others wounded after Israel bombed a house in Nusseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Separately, two civilians were killed and dozens were injured, some critically, when Israeli forces hit the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. Three Palestinians were killed and others sustained injuries after another attack on a house in the town of al-Qarara in the south of the strip. And five others were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Earlier, an Israel strike hit a 12-floor residential tower in the southern city of Rafah, making dozens of families homeless. The Israeli onslaught has so far killed nearly 31,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Thousands of others are also missing, and are feared to be dead. 

Israeli war of starvation

Starvation in the besieged Gaza strip continues to take the lives of vulnerable Palestinians. An infant and a young girl are the latest victims as Israel blocks aid trucks trying to enter the coastal territory. Gaza’s health ministry says a two-month-old girl died in Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, and a 20-year-old girl in al-Shifa Medical Complex in the same region. This brings the official death toll from malnutrition and dehydration to twenty five. The ministry estimates that dozens die silently without reaching hospitals. It says the latest deaths prove that the famine in northern Gaza has reached lethal levels. The Gaza Strip, especially the northern region, is grappling with severe shortages in food, water, medication, and fuel. 

Anti-Netanyahu protests

Thousands of Israeli protesters have once again rallied in Tel Aviv, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At least ten protesters were detained after clashing with the regime’s forces, who used tear gas and water canon to disperse the demonstrators. Protesters called for an immediate ceasefire in Israel's ongoing onslaught on Gaza and the return of the captives being held by Palestinian resistance groups. They criticized Netanyahu’s handling of the war on Gaza, and demanded new elections. They also called on US President Joe Biden to stop supporting Netanyahu.
