Following the ‘flour massacre’ in northern Gaza, which killed and wounded nearly 1,000 Palestinians, Israel continued to target civilians throughout the Gaza Strip.
International voices also continued to demand an immediate ceasefire, with China calling for a ceasefire to be imposed on Israel.
Unable to defeat the growing resistance in the Strip, the Israeli army is in a ‘state of shock’, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 30,228 Palestinians have been killed, and 71,377 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.

UN RAPPORTEUR ON ISSUE OF POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS: We need to impose sanctions and exert trade pressure on Israel.
(The Palestine Chronicle)
Anyone with a modicum of human decency roundly condemns Israel’s savage behavior! All these deaths in Gaza and elsewhere are the DIRECT result of the vicious lies that Israel concocted about October 7. Israel’s actions SINCE October 7 (condemned by MOST of the world) are exactly how it acted ON October 7 (indiscriminate slaughter of invaders AND Israelis!) and how it has acted for many decades! Maybe the world can now understand how Hamas would launch an invasion of Israel, seeing the monstrous nature of an ILLEGAL military occupation!
The Flour Massacre and the starvation of Gaza by these Nazi descendants occupiers will be remembered in world history as the worst massacre ever. This is obviously due to Israel’s aim to annex all of Palestine by employing severe hardships to its land and people but unfortunately could not succeed due to the gallant resistance of its fighters and people. Hope that Satan will take with him to hell all these evil Nazi descendants occupiers soonest to give peace to Palestine and its people.
