How Israel and US manufactured the case for genocide in Gaza
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara makes the case that Israel’s deep humiliation in the days after the October 7 Hamas attacks led it to collaborate with the US to manufacture a case for Palestinian genocide.
At least 8 dead following Israeli military attacks in central Gaza
The Israeli military has carried out several deadly air attacks in central Gaza in recent hours, the Wafa news agency reports.
They include:
- Five people reported killed and others injured when Israeli fighter jets bombed the Alian and Karajah family homes in the ad-Dawa neighbourhood, northeast of the Nuseirat camp.
- Two people killed when Israeli forces bombed a house belonging to the Ghafri family, northeast of Nuseirat.
- One person was killed and others were injured when Israeli forces bombed a centre sheltering displaced Palestinians in al-Salah school in the city of Deir el-Balah
Israel killed 11 civilians in air strike targeting 7 suspects in occupied West Bank
Israel used fighter jets for the first time in over 20 years. What we know is that 18 people were killed in that very violent strike.
The health authorities struggled for almost 12 hours to confirm the final casualty toll because the bodies were so mangled. Because an entire building crumbled from the attack.
So, now we know that a Hamas commander was killed along with other fighters. We also know that six-year-old Karam, his eight-year-old sister Sham, their mother and their uncle were also among the casualties.
By Israel’s own admission in a statement from the Israeli army, seven fighters were targeted but 18 people were killed.
Eleven civilians were killed alongside those pursued by members of the military wings in the occupied city of Tulkarem.
