Air strikes: Heavy aerial bombardment on buildings, homes and many facilities.

The Israeli Navycontinues to fire missiles, targeting facilities and buildings along the shoreline of the whole of Gaza.
Victims: 32 people killed in Gaza brings the total number of deaths since 7 October to at least 34,388. With another 69 wounded, that figure has risen to 77,437.
What we are seeing in Gaza is a ‘repeat of Auschwitz’
What is happening in Gaza is a “repeat of Auschwitz” and a “collective white imperialist man’s genocide”, according to a prominent human rights activist and genocide scholar. Maung Zarni, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year for his life-long pro-democracy work and research on genocides, believes it is clear that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The activist and scholar from Myanmar, who has studied genocides and Nazi concentration camps extensively, told Anadolu he has “paid close attention to what has been done by Israel, not just since Oct. 7 … (but) for decades.” Genocide is simply the “destruction of a population or populations under occupation”. “Palestinians have lived under Israeli Occupation for over 50 years,” said Zarni, who has been nominated for a Nobel by 1976 winner, Mairead Corrigan Maguire. “Not just in Gaza, but in all Occupied Territories … There are 3 million Palestinians in West Bank also under Occupation,” he added. “What we are seeing in Gaza is simply mass extermination without the gas chambers,” he said, referring to the brutal Nazi method of killing prisoners in concentration camps during World War II. “You don’t need to destroy a population with gas chambers only. If you are able to carpet bomb … 80 per cent of the living space, the residential area, most schools, hospitals, you are destroying the population.”
