In the early morning, when the first light of day was just beginning over the Gaza Strip, the bombs from the State of Israel fell again on Beith Lahiya, destroying a building where entire families were taking refuge. Al Jazeera reports reports of 115 bodies found, including two dozen girls and boys. There are dozens of people missing (probably under the rubble) and around 150 injured.
The Gaza press office, headed by Ismail al-Thawabta, reports that the wounded were taken to Kamal Adwan hospital, which is inside the Jabalia refugee camp. But as is known throughout the Gaza Strip, the hospitals that were not destroyed by the bombings carried out since October 2023 lack basic supplies to care for them, nor are there enough specialists, in Kamal Adwan for example, there are no more surgeons left.
But in this case it is because Israeli troops arrested dozens of doctors (including surgeons) last Saturday, this was reported to Al Jazeera by the director of that hospital, Hossam Abu Safiya, which is why the hospital now cannot perform surgery. urgency. The crime of doctors: saving Palestinian lives. Thus, the State of Israel, when it does not kill them, imprisons them so that they cannot work. Safiya added: “The world must act and not just watch the genocide in the Gaza Strip. “We call on the world to send specialized medical delegations to treat dozens of injured people in hospital.”.
Since October 2023, when, after the Hamas attack on Israeli territory, the Zionist state began its genocidal policy towards the Gazan population, at least 16,859 children have already been murdered, including 171 babies (it is worth clarifying that these figures were recorded until 30 September of this year). Now in a single operation and at the same moment it destroyed the lives of 20 girls and boys. An unforgivable crime.
To this genocidal policy of Israel, with a Netanyahu – and his coalition of ultra-nationalist settlers – who has the objective of expelling the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, expelling them to other countries or having them remain surviving in refugee camps in order to colonize that area again. portion of Palestinian territory. “Ending Hamas” is the euphemism for this ultimate goal.
This bombing of Beith Lahiya is preceded by the decision of the Knesett (Israeli parliament) to prohibit the UN agency for Palestinian refugees “UNRWA” from operating within Israel and occupied Palestine. The consequences of this decision are more than catastrophic for the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, since this agency is the main source of humanitarian support for Palestinians in Palestine and the neighboring countries that host them as refugees.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon the number of deaths from Israeli airstrikes already amounts to 2,792 Lebanese, according to that country’s Ministry of Health.
Netanyahu is currently strengthened internally by the war with Lebanon, and this weekend he “precisely” attacked Iran (all of which increases tension in the region), but still relatives of the hostages held by Hamas, They claim that they are what matters least to the Prime Minister. But internationally, allied imperialisms increasingly have to come out more frequently to make statements expressing concern about this or that massacre committed by Israel. Cynically this Wednesday was the spokesman for the United States Department of State, Matthew Miller, who said that they were very concerned about “this horrible incident” and asked the Israeli government for explanations.
But while the United States, like the other imperialist countries, are horrified in front of the cameras and make statements, they finance (especially the United States) with hard money and weapons the genocide that the State of Israel is carrying out with the Palestinian people.
