Israel has killed over 65,000 Palestinians in war on Gaza

 

• Dozens of Palestinians have been killed throughout the Gaza Strip since dawn as Israel continues its full-fledged ground invasion of its biggest city despite growing international condemnation.
• The dead include a child and his mother killed in an air attack on a residential apartment in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.
• Residents say bombardment of Gaza City has ramped up dramatically with incessant explosions destroying dozens of homes, and naval boats joining tanks and jets in the major assault.
• Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 65,062 people and wounded 165,697 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.

• Deadly Israeli attack on eastern Lebanon

  Lebanon’s health ministry says in a statement that the Israeli army targeted a car in Baalbek, killing at least two people.

  Baalbeck, in the country’s Bekaa Valley, lies over 100 km from the Israeli border, and yet has seen numerous attacks since Israel agreed to a truce with Hezbollah nearly a year ago.

  Strong solidarity with Gaza at anti-Trump protest in London

  Pro-Palestinian messaging is on strong display at a march in central London protesting US President Donald Trump’s UK visit.

  Thousands of anti-Trump protesters marched through the British capital, many waving Palestinian flags and carrying signs calling for an end to the war in Gaza.

  “Stop US and Israeli terrorism,” read a large banner at the front of the march.

  Speaking from the protest, Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands said the protest was from a broad coalition of largely left-wing causes, comprised of groups saying Trump was enabling a genocide in Gaza, while rolling back human rights and climate protections and emboldening the far right.

  “The message they’ve given overwhelmingly here is that Trump is not welcome,” he said.
