The latest figure, highlighted Sunday, was given the Government Media Office in Gaza, which carefully monitors the statistics of those that are being killed although its officials have previously the number could be much higher because of those people that are still under the wreckage which is estimated at more than 10,000.

“Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu.

He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since 7 October, 2023.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.

His name and murder soon started to trend on the social media former Lebanese Prime Minister and leader of the “Future” Movement Saad Hariri saying the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a cowardly act condemned in its entirety by us, and it has led Lebanon and the region into a new phase of violence.

Over the past three decades Nasrallah’s leadership was unique represented by his role in Hezbollah’s victories, from the liberation of Lebanon in 2000 to the 2006 war with Israel with the party praizing his unwavering support for Palestine and Gaza.

He led the resistance since 1992 building on the legacy of Sayyid Abbas al-Musawi the previous secretary-general and who was also assassinated by Israel on 16 February of that year.

“With this global awareness campaign, RSF aims to alert the international public to the gravity of this crisis: the alarming rate at which these journalists are being killed is jeopardizing the right to free and independent information,” the RSF said in a statement.

“The massacre of journalists in Gaza must stop. The Israeli military’s elimination of Gaza’s journalists, more than 130 in less than a year, threatens to impose a complete media blackout on the locked-down enclave,” said Thibaut Bruttin, general-director of RS according to Anadolu.

“These attacks target not only the press in Palestine, but the right of the public everywhere to receive reliable information – free, independent and pluralistic – from one of the most watched conflict zones on the planet,” he added.

Israel has a pattern of targeting journalists and media houses, according to Reporters Without Borders, as it wants the IDF to be the only source of information about #Gaza https://t.co/Q9YFKdX1w0.

Israel Must Provide Info of 88 Bodies It Left in Khan Yunis Street

It is regrettable that Israel turned over the bodies of 88 dead Palestinians in a container without providing any information about who they were, where they were found, when they died, or how they died.

Upon the bodies’ arrival in such condition, the Gaza Ministry of Health declared that it would halt the container’s delivery process until all necessary data and information about the bodies were obtained in order to identify their identities.

The “container” holding the dead bodies was left in one of Khan Yunis’s streets. This is a grave violation of the rights of the dead people and their families, as well as a catastrophic situation that could result in a health catastrophe.

🧵Today Israel sent to Gaza a truckload of 88 dead decomposing bodies without any autopsy reports or information about their identity & how, where or when they were killed

Israel is systematically violating the human dignity of the dead & exacerbating their loved ones' suffering pic.twitter.com/hSqIKUZSr9

Urgent international intervention is needed to open a thorough and impartial investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of these Palestinians, identifying them, and returning their human remains to their families so they can be buried with dignity.

All pertinent international parties have an unavoidable international duty to carry out these investigations in compliance with international standards.

Under international law, specifically international humanitarian and human rights law, Israel must respect the dead and their remains and take all legal procedures to identify them, including documenting and sharing as much information as possible.

In addition to working with the Israeli occupation to identify and provide information about the victims, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, the World Health Organization, and the Red Cross must move quickly to begin the burial process. This will stop the victims’ mistreatment and violation of their human dignity.

Israel’s ‘Victories’ Are Defeat Illusions – Military Expert

September 25, 2024

Palestinian military expert retired Major-General Wassef Erekat said the steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance and its implementation of qualitative operations that inflicted human losses and equipment on the Israeli army, confused its military leadership which is still suffering from the war imposed on it.

He added Israel cannot make a decision regarding the war without the approval of the United States, which grants it full protection to carry out its operations.

"نائب رئيس أركان "إسرائيلي" سابق وصف ما يجري في الشمال بأنه هزيمة تاريخية لـ "إسرائيل" والجبهة اللبنانية هي جبهة ضاغطة وبقوة وهي من أهم أوراق التفاوض التي تمتلكها المقاومة الفلسطينية اليوم لتحقيق الأهداف ووقف العدوان"

Erekat added to Jordan24 the enemy’s starting a war on the northern front is but an escape from the defeat it suffered in Gaza, due to its failure to achieve any of the goals made by its politicians. He pointed out the committing massacres, mass killings, forced displacement and ethnic cleansing is a goal for the extremist Israeli government to empty Gaza of its population.

The military expert explained Israeli leaders were convinced that the war would end within two months, but they were surprised by the strength and steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance and its preparations for war, so the enemy has become unable to find a way out.

Erekat stressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot announce a plan for the day after the war due to his lack of ability to decide the battle. He noted the Israeli occupation is currently relying on air strikes to kill, in light of the soldiers’ inability on the ground.

He stressed the occupation is trying to escape from Gaza by expanding its northern front after it became clear to the lIsraeli eaders the army is unable to achieve any victory, so the decision was made to search for an imaginary victory to cover up their defeat in Gaza.
