#Palestinian deaths from 3 days of #Israeli attacks reaches toll of 44, including 15 children suspected done for “winning the elections”
Apart from the killings, at least 350 Palestinians were wounded, but the bombing has since stopped after Israel and the Islamic Jihad militant group agreed on Sunday to a ceasefire negotiated by Egypt, and border crossings reopened on Monday to allow basic necessities in.
It is believed by many, as one journalist and activist Issam Adwan, says Israel’s military attack is for the Israeli government to be “bolstered up” ahead of the November elections and they are using the Palestinian blood to promote a campaign for certain individuals,” says Adwan and a large number of Palestinians accuse the Israeli government of undertaking the attack in order to build political support ahead of November’s elections.
There is severe criticism for the silence from the “world” after the horrific attack on Palestine, which was not the reaction when Ukraine was attacked, and as someone stated, ” Dear world, don’t worry this is not #Ukraine.
This is Gaza

Palestinian children who survived the Israeli assault described horrifying scenes and people were pulled out from the rubble.
Two senior Islamic Jihad commanders were killed in the attack and during this time, Israel also cut off fuel to Gaza, leading to blackouts across the region.
Journalists describe the painful scenes of seeing 44 Palestinians dying, including 15 children and six women, because while Israel claims they are targeting PIJ’s senior members, and military senior members, they also target residential buildings, and open streets killing children and women.
Sources say that it all escalated when the Israeli administration decided to close both borders, at the Kerem Shalom crossing and Erez crossing, the major intersection road where the goods enter Gaza, as well as the medical equipment and fuel, as well.
After Israel did that, they also decided to incite Palestinian anger, they say, by detaining Bassam al-Saadi, a senior member of the PIJ in the West Bank, of course, with no response by the political parties here in Gaza. They targeted Tayseer al-Jabari, a senior member of the PIJ in Gaza.
Israel disregarded international humanitarian laws, which restrict targeting buildings and areas where hundreds of civilians live, and Gaza, which is about 365 square kilometres with 2 million people residing, deliberately attacked the area.
Palestinian sources felt that the two men killed were more political persons rather than military, so, were not a great threat to the Israeli administration and the killing was unwarranted, more of a political campaign to gain a popularity vote by pouring out “Palestinian blood” done by the leaders, particularly with the fading public support to Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz presently.
Many Israelis Want Peace and a Two-State Resolution, but Israeli Leaders Want War
Last year, in Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelis from all walks of life gathered here in the central part of the city to support peace between Israel and Palestinians, a human rights organization said.
The rally was organized by Shalom Achshav (Peace Now) – a human rights organization on Saturday. The NGO advocates for a peaceful two-state resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The protesters called for a full-fledged peace deal with Palestine but the leaders are inflated with their own greed and ego, apparently.
