Israeli F-16 strikes destroyed a house in the Mughraga area of Gaza overnight, killing five-months-pregnant Nour Hassan, 27, her two-year-old daughter Rahaf, and injuring her husband Yahya and their toddler son. All that remains of the house is a massive blast hole several meters deep and twenty meters wide amid scattered bits of clothing and personal belongings.

On the evening of October 9, the news keep coming about new clashes with the Israeli Occupation police flaring up in more and more Israeli towns, from Rahat in the Naqab desert in the South, through Taibeh, Ar’ara and Um-Al-Fahm in “the triangle” and till Nazareth, Kfar-Kana, Arabeh, Sakhnin and Majd-Al-Kurum in the Galilee.

Here’s another example of how the Jerusalem bureau of the New York Times continues its campaign to cover up Israeli violence against Palestinians.

Sheren Khalel reports from the occupied southern West Bank city of Bethlehem where protests have been ongoing daily for more than a week and the vast majority of residents she spoke to do not see the situation calming anytime soon. Clashes in Bethlehem along Jerusalem-Hebron street are fairly common and this week it seems the entire community has stepped forward to help. In fact, most have called the current upheaval the start of the third intifada.

Youth in Gaza have begun marching to the borders to express solidarity with Palestinians protesting in the West Bank and inside Israel, as well as out of frustration with the ongoing Israeli siege. Dan Cohen reports from Gaza where yesterday, Israeli soldiers clad in full combat gear shot protestors and occasionally fired tear gas canisters into the crowd of an estimated 1,000 young men and boys, killing seven and injuring 145 along Gaza’s border area.

Six Palestinians were killed and 145 others injured as Israeli military forces opened fire at a demonstration by the border fence east of Gaza City and near Khan Younis on Friday, medics and the Ministry of Health said. All victims were male, aged 15 to 22

Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan said yesterday: “Palestinians have to understand they won’t have a state & Israel will rule over them.”

Fadi Aloon, 19, had his back to police and was walking away from them when he was gunned down with several shots to his torso, a new video published today by Local Call (+972 Magazine’s Hebrew sister-news blog) revealed. The footage, a third recording of the killing posted online, shows Aloon, and East Jerusalem resident from the Shuafat neighborhood, tracing the track’s of Jerusalem’s light rail line in the eastern part of the city moments after he allegedly stabbed 15-year old Israeli Moshe Malka.

Amnesty International condemns all deliberate attacks on civilians, including Israeli civilians in the OPT, and calls on all sides to end such attacks. Amnesty International also condemns the widespread use of excessive force by Israeli forces against Palestinian demonstrators across the occupied West Bank, and their failure to protect Palestinians from a wave of settler attacks.

It’s no wonder Palestinians are exercised about the Noble Sanctuary: Jewish zealots talk about burning or blowing up the mosques there. But the ‘NYT’ sanitizes the extremists, reporting they just want to ‘replace’ the mosques with a temple.
