US-Israeli Gaza genocide

Israeli forces continue to pound the Gaza Strip with unrelenting air and artillery strikes, massacring more Palestinian civilians across the besieged territory. Gaza City remained the focal point of the regime’s latest strikes. Nine Palestinians were killed in the bombing of a residential building in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighborhood. Earlier, at least ten Palestinians were killed after two airstrikes targeted the neighborhoods of al-Zeitoun and Sabra in the southern part of Gaza City. A pregnant woman and her fetus, along with another child, were killed when their home was struck near the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. Another airstrike on a displaced people's tent, west of the city, killed two Palestinian boys. In the south, five civilians were killed after Israeli forces fired at starving aid seekers in Khan Yunis. The regime’s forces killed 46 Palestinians looking for food aid on Monday, increasing the total toll to nearly 2,300. Nine Palestinians, including three children, also died from malnutrition. The death toll from the Israeli genocide stands at nearly 63,560, with 160,660 others injured.

Israel war on media

More than 250 news outlets from over 70 countries have launched an unprecedented international campaign in support of media workers in the Gaza Strip. They have decided to simultaneously black out their front pages and website homepages, and interrupt their broadcasting to condemn the murder of journalists by Israel. The campaign was organized by Reporters Without Borders, RSF, and the global campaigning movement, Avaaz. The participating media outlets demand an end to impunity for Israeli crimes against Gaza’s reporters, and the emergency evacuation of reporters seeking to leave the territory. They have also asked for the foreign press to be granted independent access to Gaza. According to RSF, this is the first time in recent history that newsrooms across the world have coordinated a large-scale editorial protest in solidarity with journalists in Gaza. Individual journalists have also joined the campaign and will post messages on their social media accounts. The campaign comes as more than two-hundred journalists have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in less than 23 months. Nearly a dozen journalists were killed in the regime’s airstrikes in August alone.

Condemning genocide in Gaza

The Hamas resistance movement has hailed a resolution issued by the International Association of Genocide Scholars, confirming that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Hamas said the resolution affirms that Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide, against the Palestinians in Gaza. Hamas described the resolution as new legal documentation, which has been added to previous international reports and testimonies documenting the Israeli genocide against the people of Gaza. The group also condemned the international community’s failure to act against Israel and its war criminal prime minister, calling it a stain of shame and an unjustifiable failure to protect humanity. Hamas urged the UN and all other relevant parties to take urgent steps to stop the crimes of genocide, displacement, and ethnic cleansing that Israeli forces are committing in Gaza, and to hold the regime’s terrorist leaders accountable.
