Press TV – Dec 1, 2024

The Israeli regime has killed more than 100 Palestinians and injured scores of others across the Gaza Strip over the past day, in the latest round of the occupying entity’s relentless onslaught against the besieged enclave.

Over 100 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli airstrikes on various areas across Gaza since the early hours of Saturday, Palestine’s official news agency WAFA reported.

WAFA said the Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre on Saturday night in northern Gaza after targeting a residential building in the Tel al-Zaatar area, which was sheltering displaced families.

“The airstrike resulted in the murder of at least 40 Palestinians, including women and children, with many others still trapped under the rubble,” the report said.

“The attack left a large number of people under the debris, making it extremely difficult to rescue them due to the lack of emergency response teams and the extensive destruction,” it added.

According to the report, dozens of victims remain trapped under the rubble of homes bombarded by Israeli forces in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, north Gaza, over the past two days.

WAFA also reported that the Israeli occupation forces had blown up several residential buildings and homes in Beit Lahiya.

Earlier, three Palestinians were killed, and several others injured when Israeli warplanes bombed a house west of Gaza City.

In another airstrike, six Palestinians were killed and others injured after Israeli jets targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Reports also indicated that Israeli forces bombed a group of civilians in the Qizan al-Najjar area south of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, leaving 12 Palestinians dead and some others injured.

‘Israeli war’s unprecedented and irreversible harm’

The international humanitarian organization Save the Children said in a report on Saturday that the Israeli regime’s war had inflicted “unprecedented and irreversible harm” on Palestinian children in Gaza.

“The ongoing armed conflict in Gaza has inflicted unprecedented and potentially irreversible harm on Palestinian children, with consequences that threaten not only their individual futures but the very fabric of Palestinian society for generations to come,” the report said.

The London-based organization underlined that the conduct of Israeli forces in Gaza had exacerbated the humanitarian crisis to levels of unprecedented magnitude, with particularly concerning implications for children’s rights.

“Malnutrition, inadequate healthcare, and constant exposure to violence are inflicting lasting damage on children’s physical and cognitive development,” Save the Children added.

“The mental health crisis threatens to create a generation traumatized beyond recovery.”

Backed by the United States and its Western allies, Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli regime in response to its decades-long campaign of oppression against Palestinians.

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed 44,382 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 105,142 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
