According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, the deth toll from the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza is now 5087 people, about 40 percent of which are children. The Israeli army announced on the 23rd of October that they have carried out 300 new air attacks within 24 hours. During this period, 400 people are reported to have been killed, the highest casualties in a day in Gaza since the 7th of October. Thousands of buildings are reported to have been destroyed and more than one million people have been displaced. Israel is increasingly bombing the south of Gaza, sinister and viciously ordering people living in the north to evacuate where they now bombard. Genocidal war-criminals as they are, acting like shepherds pushing the herd into the butchery. The newest fairy-tale of the warmongers to explain bombing willingly civilian infrastructure is that of aiming at tunnels and underground headquarters of the Palestinian Resistance.
