Israel is killing some 103 Palestinians in Gaza on a daily basis
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based human rights group, says Israel has killed 830 Palestinians and wounded 1,787 since resuming its war on Gaza on March 18.
That comes up to 103 killed and 223 wounded on a daily basis.
“Without any military justification, the Israeli occupation army has committed the crime of targeting homes – or what is left of them – every day, including targeting tents where civilians have sought safety following almost 18 months of genocide. This is a clear component of a systematic Israeli policy that aims to kill Palestinians, ruin their lives, and impose a horrific reality that makes it impossible to survive,” it said in a statement.
Israeli attacks killed two education officials in Gaza
Euro-Med has more on the victims of Israel’s assault in the past week.
The rights group said Israeli attacks killed two government officials working in the education sector.
They are Jihad al-Agha, the head of the supervision department at the East Khan Younis Education Directorate, who was killed in a raid targeting his home on March 23 along with his wife, child, and three daughters, and Manar Abu Khater, the director of education in East Khan Younis, who was killed along with two of his sons in an Israeli air strike on Khan Younis on March 24.
“An individual does not lose their civilian status or become a legitimate target for attack simply because they hold an administrative or civilian position within a governmental or organisational structure, unless they are actively and consistently engaged in hostilities, which was not the case in the situation of al-Agha or Abu Khater,” the group said.
Gaza’s Government Media Office has previously said Israel killed four more senior officials on Tuesday, March 18.
They are Issam al-Dalis, the head of government public works; Ahmed al-Hatta, undersecretary of the Justice Ministry; Mahmoud Abu Watfa, undersecretary of the Interior Ministry; and Bahjat Abu Sultan, director general of the internal security service.

Gaza protests reflect people’s tiredness after months of war
The protests that have taken place in Gaza in the past days reflect people’s “tiredness” after having been displaced multiple times, as well as their discontent with Hamas’s efforts to end the conflict, Luciano Zaccara, professor at the Qatar University Gulf Studies Center, told Al Jazeera.
“Protesters are saying: ‘We cannot stop Israel from bombing us, but we can ask Hamas to do something other than what they have done, because the situation is unsustainable,” Zaccara said.
Hamas has shown a willingness to go back to negotiations and even leave power, but that hasn’t been enough to bring the conflict to an end, the analyst added.
Meanwhile, protests are also taking place in Israel against Netanyahu’s government, but the coalition appears strong after far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir was reappointed national security minister as the war resumed.
Despite the popular unrest, “I see no danger to the coalition’s survival”, Zaccara said.
