World Watches as Israel Massacres Hundreds More

RAFAH (KI) – Zionist forces have martyred at least 187 Palestinians in airstrikes across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, the health ministry said on Friday.

This brings the death toll since 7 October to at least 21,500 with almost 56,000 wounded and 7,000 missing who are believed to be dead and buried under rubble.
Overall, around four percent of Gaza’s population have been killed, wounded or gone missing in less than three months of bombardment.
The majority of victims are children and women, according to health officials.
Over 29,000 people in Gaza are dead or missing since the Zionist onslaught started on October 7, the director of Gaza’s government media office told Al Jazeera.
They added that an estimated 7,000 people are trapped under rubble, and that around 800,000 residents of Gaza City and northern Gaza cannot access a hospital.
Like almost every day for nearly three months, Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday to repeated scenes of flattened homes, lines of dead bodies and traumatized children.
Zionist fighter jets bombed heavily overnight in Rafah, Khan Younis and overcrowded central refugee camps.
An estimated 100,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee to Rafah, the Gaza Strip’s most densely populated area, after increased Israeli attacks in recent days in central governorates, according to the UN.
Some have been displaced already and forced to move again.
Their relocation to Rafah, the southernmost town in Gaza, has “further exacerbated conditions related to the already overcrowded space and limited resources”, the UN has said.
Zionist soldiers fired at a UN aid convoy in the Gaza Strip, director of the UNRWA in the besieged strip said on Friday.
Since October 7, the UN agency said, 308 people sheltering in UNRWA facilities have been killed and 1095 injured.
“Initial reports indicate on 25 December, 2 people sheltering in UNRWA Maghazi Prep School were killed & 1 injured, result of a direct strike,” it said on X. The UN agency added: “Nowhere in Gaza is safe”.
In the occupied West Bank, at least four Zionist settlers were wounded in a suspected car ramming incident near Al-Khalil, Israeli medics have said. The driver has been reportedly shot and killed.
After the attack, the military reportedly assaulted several journalists and confiscated their equipment to ensure they did not cover the incident.
The UNRWA posted on X that 2023 has been the “deadliest year” in the West Bank on record, with a total of 504 killed this year.
Israeli forces launched raids in several cities at the same time, including Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, Jericho, and Qalqiliya on Thursday. One Palestinian was martyred in Ramallah.
A United Nations report issued Thursday said the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank was rapidly deteriorating and urged Israel to “end unlawful killings” against the Palestinian population.
“The use of military tactics and weapons in law enforcement contexts, the use of unnecessary

or disproportionate force, and the enforcement of broad, arbitrary and discriminatory movement restrictions that affect Palestinians are extremely troubling,” UN rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement.
Zionist forces fired tear gas at Palestinian worshippers attempting to reach Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Al-Quds on Friday.
Israeli authorities have continued to limit Palestinian access to the mosque since the war on Gaza began, often using force to disperse them and turning them away at checkpoints.
The occupying regime’s military admitted on Thursday that it killed dozens of Palestinians in an airstrike on the Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza on Christmas Eve.
An army spokesperson told Kan news that the military regretted that the attack, which martyred 70 people, had harmed people adjacent to the intended target.
“A preliminary investigation revealed that during the attack, additional buildings were damaged adjacent to the targets that were [meant to be] attacked,” the spokesperson told Kan.
The occupying regime of Israel has previously bombed the camp, but the attack on Sunday was described as one of the “deadliest” since the start of the conflict in early October.
