Israel’s Genocidal Attacks on Gaza Continue, Slaughtering Children, Displaced Palestinians

HeadlineApr 17, 2025

Israel’s military has stepped up a series of deadly strikes on tent encampments for displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the United Nations warns Israel’s renewed assault has uprooted about half a million people since Israel shattered the ceasefire in March. Earlier today, an Israeli airstrike targeted tents in the Jabaliya refugee camp, killing at least seven people. Separately, 10 Palestinians were killed in an overnight attack on a tent encampment in Khan Younis, with children among the dead and wounded.

Youssef Abu Alrous: “A 12-year-old disabled child, he burned to death in his wheelchair. We carried him. Even his bones had melted as we pulled him out. This is the child’s wheelchair. A child, 12 years old!”
