At least 25 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 children, and another 30 wounded in a pre-dawn Israeli strike on a home in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza that has been under siege for weeks, Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Sunday.

A reporter for the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera posted footage of the bodies from the scene on X, saying at least 32 people had been killed and that the death toll was one of the biggest so far in Jabalia, where hundreds of people have been killed since the Israeli operation began last month.

Anas al-Sharif said the home belonged to the Aloush family and that no civil defence agencies or ambulances had been able to reach the area due to the Israeli siege and that locals were still searching for more victims.

It was not possible to independently verify the report as Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza.

    Not once did I see the descriptor “Hamas run.” It’s about goddamn time Western media started moving away from that to cast aspersions on the truthfulness of Gazan government statements.

    Also,

    A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.

      A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.

      That’s 70% out of 8000 deaths verified by the UN, not the full 40,000 that that the Gazan ministry of health claim have been killed.
