Israeli air strikes pummelled the besieged Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing at least 33 Palestinians, including 20 women and children, less than 48 hours after the UN Security Council adopted US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for the enclave.
Israeli fighter jets bombed tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, as well as homes in Gaza City, with more than 70 people reported wounded.
Shelling and air strikes were also reported on Thursday morning, with most of the casualties reported in Khan Younis, local media reported.
The Palestinian group Hamas condemned the latest “massacre” and described it as “a dangerous escalation through which [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu seeks to resume the genocide.”
So cement the occupation, punish the victims of genocide while working along and not stopping the perpetrators, and return Gaza to a foreign “mandate” literally colonial “stewardship” could it be any more bleak outside of literal death camps.
