Twelve Palestinians, including a five-year-old child, were killed after Israeli air strikes targeted a civilian tower and several locations in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip reached 26, nine of them children, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported on Tuesday, following a night of Israeli airstrikes on the besieged territory. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “For every day that they shoot at Israeli citizens, we will send them back years.”
“On Monday night I told myself I needed to sleep early in order to get up the next day to head to work as usual. I sat the alarm for 5:00 a.m. However, it was not the phone alarm that woke me. It was an Israeli airstrike targeting the home of Islamic Jihad senior commander Bahaa Abu al-Ata,” Aya Al Ghazzawi writes.
In Israel, the military is by far the most trusted institution. And though it terrorizes Palestinians daily, the fealty it gets from Jewish Israeli society serves as a shield against taking it to account.
