Nine children are among at least 14 Palestinians killed in strikes on al-Mawasi, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health

There was little shelter and barely any services in al-Mawasi when the Abu Hatab family arrived seeking sanctuary from the intensifying bombardment around their homes in Khan Yunis.

But al-Mawasi was the one place they had been told they would be safe. From early November Israel urged the civilian population of Gaza evacuate to the narrow, sandy coastal strip the size of Heathrow airport.

On Wednesday night, the bombardment followed them to the so-called safe zone, when shelling rained down on their flimsy tents as they slept.

“They dropped leaflets and told us to come here, that this was truly the one safe place,” Bahaa Abu Hatab, one of the survivors said. “My brother took his children to protect them from the occupation’s missiles, but here they were martyred anyway, in this ‘safe’ place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field.”

At least 14 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in strikes on al-Mawasi early on Thursday, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health in Gaza.

      Nothing has changed since their founding.

      The IDF was founded out of three major Zionist terrorist organizations.

      And the US governemnt by extension, and actually many “Civilized” governments across the EU and the americas, in addition to the Arab leaders, it’s not like we didn’t know how terrible they are, but times of need reveal true selves, very clearly, to the public.

      Supporters of an act, financially or morally, are 2nd only to the actor.

      Edit : by morally I mean through acceptance and encouragement.

    The safe zone must have been a Hamas command centre. Classic Hamas, conveniently building command centres in the spots that would be best to strike if you were doing a genocide instead of a war

    The more of these articles acting surprised-pikachu-face that their actions are genocidal the more I realize these media companies are just flat out complicit in the genocide. Sure they’re not flat out doing propaganda for the genociders, but still it’s pretty much genocide denial.

    How many times do you witness “war crime” or “crimes against humanity” or hell, even “genocide” in these reporting. Never. They never do.
