DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza — At least 70 people were killed in Gaza on Sunday in one of the deadliest strikes of the war, while Israel’s leaders acknowledged the “very heavy price” after 15 soldiers were killed in combat over the weekend.

Associated Press journalists at a nearby hospital watched frantic Palestinians carry the dead, including a baby, and wounded following the strike on the Maghazi refugee camp east of Deir al-Balah. One bloodied young girl looked stunned while her body was checked for broken bones.

…

“We were all targeted,” said Ahmad Turokmani, who lost several family members including his daughter and grandson. “There is no safe place in Gaza anyway.”

11. I'm hoping the US will tell Netanyahu

13. The Palestinians need to stop trying to kill all the jews

14. The Israelis need to stop treating Palestinians like shit

and killing them en masse and destroying their homes and taking over their ancestral lands and keeping them in open-air prisons and starving them out and committing genocide.

10. War at Christmas!

And in the supposed birthplace of Christianity.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, and will remain a force in the region. Until they have nothing to complain about.
And currently, they have a lot of reasons to stay militant and active.

Israel's reputation as the 'good guy' in the region is taking a battering.
There will be repercussions for Israel.
