Israel Killed Over 5,000 Palestinians in North Gaza Since Start of Siege

HeadlineJan 13, 2025

Authorities in Gaza say more than 5,000 Palestinians were killed or went missing in the first 100 days of Israel’s siege on northern Gaza, which began in early October. Another 9,500 Palestinians have been injured, and 2,600 have been detained. In a statement, Gaza’s government media office said, “In the past 100 days, our people in northern Gaza have suffered the most horrific forms of killing, ethnic cleansing, destruction, and displacement.” This comes as talks continue over a possible ceasefire and hostage deal. Reuters reports Qatar gave Israel and Hamas a final draft of a deal earlier today. President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Sunday.

But Israel is continuing to attack Gaza. Earlier today, Israel bombed a school in Gaza City, killing five displaced Palestinians. On Saturday, Israel struck a school in the Jabaliya refugee camp, killing at least eight people, including two children and two women.
