Why Does Israel Kill Civilians Daily

At least 19 people were killed and many others injured by the Israeli army since the early hours of Monday, according to medics.

A medical source told Anadolu that four people, including a pregnant woman and two children, were killed, and several others were injured in Israeli strikes on homes in the Shati refugee camp, northern Gaza City.

Israeli warplanes targeted residential areas in Gaza City, killing nine people in Al-Nafaq Street and the Sheikh Ridwan neighborhood according to Anadolu.

A Palestinian couple and their son lost their lives when the Israeli army hit a residential building near the Al-Sahaba Medical Complex in Gaza City.

The Israeli army continued to detonate homes in the Zeitoun neighborhood by blowing up booby-trapped robots and old military vehicles planted between buildings, witnesses told Anadolu.

In recent days, large numbers of Palestinians have been displaced from northeastern Gaza City to its western areas under heavy Israeli fire, after Tel Aviv on Friday declared the city — home to about a million people — a “dangerous combat zone.”

On Aug. 8, Israel’s Security Cabinet approved a plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip, beginning with Gaza City.

In the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli army shelled a home for a Palestinian family in the Bureij refugee camp, resulting in the death of a couple and their daughter, said medical sources from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

The Israeli aircraft targeted tents sheltering displaced Palestinians within the walls of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital near the outpatient clinic in Deir al-Balah, resulting in a number of injuries and material damage.

Israel has killed nearly 63,500 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
