At Least Seven Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strikes in Gaza

HeadlineApr 13, 2026

At least seven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across the central and southern Gaza Strip on Saturday. An Israeli drone fired two missiles near a police post in Bureij refugee camp, hitting a group of civilians. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israeli attacks have killed more than 700 Palestinians and injured more than 2,000 since the so-called ceasefire took effect last October. Meanwhile, a second Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid set sail for Gaza Sunday from Barcelona, aiming to break the Israeli blockade. Organizers are calling it the largest civilian maritime effort in history. Last October, the Israeli military halted the previous Global Sumud Flotilla, arresting Greta Thunberg and more than 450 other participants. This is organizer Thiago Ávila.

Thiago Ávila: “Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu need to fear the people. Because of their violations, both war criminals, but also the Epstein class and all the other things that they do, they will be made accountable. And we will not stop.”
