Israeli occupation forces carried out a new massacre in the al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 11 children.

According to a report by Aljazeera today, this latest aggression occurred within the last 45 minutes when a drone targeted a group of people, including children who were at a playground near the camp. Eyewitnesses described the aftermath as a “horrific scene of children torn apart.”

The situation in Gaza is dire, with new data from UNICEF revealing that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes. The devastating war has led to at least 70 children being injured daily, and since October 7, around 12,000 children have been wounded. Tens of thousands of children have tragically lost their lives.

Israel has justified its actions as retaliation for Hamas’s attack on northern Israeli kibbutzim last year, where Hamas is said to have killed 1,139 people and kidnapped hundreds. However, critics argue that Israel’s response has escalated into a genocidal war on Gaza, despite global outcry and calls for peace.

The Israeli government remains steadfast in its commitment to continue “fighting Hamas” until it achieves what it terms as “total victory,” disregarding the immense human suffering and destruction caused by its actions.
