At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

    What they are currently doing is still sending unguided rockets towards Israel, rockets that have an accuracy measured in kilometers and can thus only be used as terror weapons. Is Israel just supposed to eat those? Their defenses aren’t perfect and every single alert means that people have to interrupt whatever they are doing and rush into shelter within seconds.

    slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian children

    Because every single death in Gaza is either that of a child or a woman. What a ridiculous claim. Here’s another reminder that the only numbers we have from Gaza are those reported by Hamas themselves. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t even trust them as far as I can throw them.

    There are legitimate forms of resistance, both armed and unarmed. Neither Hamas nor any other militant Palestinian organization has ever focused on legitimate resistance. It’s always been terrorism. The difference between Israel and its enemies is that civilian casualties are an unintended side-effect to Israel, one which they are trying to minimize through all sorts of measures, whereas for Palestinian organizations, it’s the main goal. Had the October 7 attacks limited themselves to military targets like border fortifications and command centers only, that would have been legitimate armed resistance. But they did not, they only did this in order to enable the murder, rape and abduction of civilians.

      Anti-semitic racist justifying a genocide while ignoring things like the March of Return and other non-violent protests ending in slaughter from Israeli snipers literally wearing t-shirts showing stick figure pregnant women in cross hairs with the caption “One shot, Two kills”

      You do realize the internet and the ability to automatically translate the genocidal rheoteric coming from the Israeli government has changed things, right?

      People who don’t speak Hebrew can now translate this shit in real time.

        March of Return and other non-violent protests

        Oh right, storming a national border and flying incendiary balloons into Israel is considered non-violent when it comes to talking about Palestinians.

          Your timeline is wrong with your bullshit for justifying the slaughter of peaceful unarmed people.

          But I wouldn’t expect much more from someone that believes ICBMs are not ballistic missiles.

          What does ICBM stand for again?

            Sorry, I guess your lack of reading comprehension goes along with your lack of knowledge of history. My timeline is quite accurate as to the events that took place during the violent border protests known as “march of return”. They even burned a bunch of tires to conceal their activities.
