Gaza Strip
Attacks: There are no safe places for the militarily-dominated population in Gaza, who find themselves subjected to airstrikes and other missile attacks on buildings, homes and many essentialfacilities, as well as constant gunfire and invasions by Israeli forces. The Israeli Navy continues to fire missiles, targeting facilities and buildings along the entire Gaza shoreline.
Victims: 74 more people have been killed, bringing the total number killed in Gaza, since 7 October, to at least 42,792. Another 130 people have been wounded, bringing that total to 100,412. The daily average number of men, women and children killed in Gaza is at least 112 and that of those injured is now more than 263.
“Coffins have run out”
Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinic Council
A campaign of mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing is underway in northern Gaza.
Palestinians are being rounded up by the Israeli military. Among the rubble and bombed-out buildings, men are separated from women and children, who are forced to flee at gunpoint, uncertain if they will ever see their fathers, husbands and brothers again. Some men have reportedly been executed. “The injured bleed out in the streets,” Palestinian journalist, Hossam Shabat, described. “Coffins have run out in northern Gaza.”
‘Extermination mission’
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza are being starved. Essential aid like food and medicine hasn’t entered the north in three weeks. The hospitals that remain standing are under siege. The Israeli military is burning down UN schools (where Palestinians have been sheltering) to ensure no one is able to return.
In besieged Jabalia, many have been terrified to leave their homes, for fear of being killed by Israeli sniper fire. Infants drink flour mixed with water and sugar, in lieu of milk, and Palestinian families burn furniture and scraps of cloth for warmth. An 8-year-old and 10-year-old were murdered by an Israeli drone strike as they tried to flee. Others, attempting to escape, were mowed down by Israeli gunfire.
In haunting footage released by the Israeli military, Israeli forces can be seen lining up Palestinians near the Indonesian Hospital, where many had taken shelter or were receiving treatment and were forced to evacuate by Israeli forces. Men were separated from women and children, who were forced to flee south at gunpoint, with reports of some men being executed. Medical personnel insidethe Indonesian Hospital described bodies piled up outside.
“Israeli occupation forces prepared a deep hole in one of the squares surrounding the Indonesian Hospital,” Palestinian journalist, Hossam Shabat, wrote on X. “[They] placed some males in it with their hands tied and their eyes blindfolded”
This is not the first time that Palestinians have reported field executions during the Gaza genocide. Last April, hundreds of bodies — many with their hands tied and showing signs of torture, and some still attached to IVs or catheters — were discovered in mass graves at Gaza’s Nasser and Al-Shifa Hospitals.
‘The Holocaust of our time’
For over a year, Palestinians have documented the genocide being carried out against them in horrifying detail. We have watched as Palestinian families are forced on death marches; patients are burned alive in their hospital beds; children are killed by sniper fire; and men are blindfolded, handcuffed, and lined up to await certain execution.
For many of us — the descendants of Jews who survived or were killed in Nazi death marches and concentration camps — these images are all too familiar. When the extent of the Nazi Holocaust came to light, the world vowed “never again.” Today, that world is failing Palestinians, even as they live-stream the genocide being carried out against them for all of us to see.
“The state of Israel is currently perpetrating a holocaust, the deliberate mass slaughter of Palestinian people, with weapons provided by the United States…We must honour our ancestors by shouting the truth to the heavens and putting our bodies on the line to stop the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians now.”
