Israel’s war on Gaza: Jabalia reduced to rubble after 20-day incursion
The scene in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp is one of total destruction as Israeli troops withdrew to the east after 20 days of deadly operations. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
At least 53 people have been killed in the enclave and 357 injured in the latest 24-hour reporting period, Gaza’s health ministry says.
The Israeli military has released footage of its latest attacks on southern Lebanon, saying two military buildings used by Hezbollah were targeted by fighter jets.
It confirmed an earlier attack by the armed Lebanese group on Zarit and multiple projectile launches but said that attack inflicted no casualties.
Hezbollah has exchanged fire with the Israeli military across Lebanon’s southern border in parallel with the Gaza assault that began on October 7. The fighting has displaced tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border and prompted fears of a bigger war.
The Palestinian health ministry said six people suffered minor to moderate injuries and were treated at hospitals in Jenin as a result of the incursion. The Al-Haq rights group reported significant infrastructure damage.
“My dad is gone. … Where will I go?” Nine-year-old Omar Hamad just lived through the worst day of his life when his father was burned alive in Israel’s attack on a tent camp in Rafah. Dozens of Palestinians in Gaza were killed that day, and dozens more lost loved ones.
The Ministry of Health says a 20-year-old Palestinian man died of wounds sustained by an Israeli bullet to the chest during an incursion into the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank that also left five others injured.
In a Bedouin community northwest of the West Bank city of Jericho, a local source was cited as saying by the Wafa news agency that Israeli settlers descended in vehicles to intimidate Palestinians for the second time in the past 24 hours.
Wafa also spoke to local sources west of the city of Nablus, who said a group of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones, damaging several cars.
In the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of al-Issawiya, Israeli authorities reportedly forced a Palestinian to demolish his own home and displace his family of nine, claiming he lacked a permit to live there.
He was forced to carry out the demolition himself since Israeli authorities charge exorbitant fees if the municipality razes the structure, Wafa reported.
Washington, DC – Joe Biden’s support among Arab-American voters in critical swing states has plummeted during the war in Gaza, a new poll found, in the latest sign that the United States president’s backing of Israel could hurt him in November’s election.
The Arab American Institute (AAI) poll released on Thursday showed Biden’s support among Arab Americans hovering at just under 20 percent. He won nearly 60 percent of the Arab-American vote in the 2020 US presidential election. gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc gxc
