An Israeli airstrike hit a refugee camp in central Gaza on October 8, 2024, killing at least 17 people. Gaza’s civil defense agency reported that the strike targeted the densely populated camp, causing widespread destruction and casualties. This incident is part of an intensifying conflict as Israel targets Hamas positions across the Gaza Strip. Emergency teams are still working to recover bodies from the rubble, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen amid ongoing strikes and mounting casualties. least 17 people were killed, and dozens more injured after an Israeli airstrike hit a crowded refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip late Tuesday night. The attack, which targeted the Jabalia refugee camp, has drawn widespread condemnation from local and international humanitarian organizations, with escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas threatening to spiral further out of control.
According to Palestinian health officials, the casualties included women and children, with the death toll expected to rise as emergency teams continue to search for survivors under the rubble. The densely populated Jabalia camp, home to tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians, has seen repeated strikes since the latest flare-up in violence between Israeli forces and militant groups in Gaza began.
A Growing Humanitarian Crisis
Local residents described the scene as one of devastation and chaos, with buildings reduced to piles of debris and civilians frantically trying to rescue family members trapped beneath the wreckage. Eyewitnesses reported that the explosion occurred just after midnight, causing widespread panic throughout the camp. “It was like an earthquake. The house shook, and then we heard the cries of people calling for help,” said one survivor.
The Gaza Health Ministry said the strike caused severe damage to civilian infrastructure, including homes and medical facilities, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in the region. Hospitals, already overwhelmed by casualties from the ongoing fighting, are struggling to cope with the influx of injured.
UN officials and human rights organizations have condemned the attack, calling for immediate cessation of hostilities to protect civilians. Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said in a statement: "This latest attack on the densely populated Jabalia camp underlines the urgent need for de-escalation. Civilians, particularly children, are bearing the brunt of this conflict."
Israeli Response
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the strike, claiming it targeted a Hamas command center located within the camp. In a statement, the IDF said that Hamas operatives had been using the area to launch rocket attacks against Israeli cities and civilian infrastructure. The military emphasized that it takes all measures to avoid civilian casualties, but added that Hamas was responsible for endangering civilians by operating within densely populated areas.
Israeli officials reiterated that the ongoing airstrikes are part of a broader military operation aimed at neutralizing Hamas’ military capabilities and halting the barrage of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel. In recent days, Hamas has launched hundreds of rockets, leading to significant damage and casualties within Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the Hamas attacks, stating that "we will not stop until the threat to our citizens is removed."
International Reactions
The airstrike has sparked renewed calls for international intervention to prevent further loss of life. Both the United Nations and the European Union have expressed concern over the growing number of civilian casualties in Gaza and called for immediate ceasefire negotiations. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to travel to the region later this week to mediate talks aimed at de-escalating the situation.
In a statement, the US State Department expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and urged all parties to exercise restraint. “The loss of innocent lives on both sides of the conflict is tragic, and we call for all sides to take immediate steps to reduce tensions,” the statement said.
The Broader Conflict
The strike on Jabalia camp is part of a wider military confrontation that began after a series of incidents escalated tensions between Israel and Hamas. Following the recent killing of an Israeli soldier in the West Bank and ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have intensified across the enclave, targeting what the IDF describes as Hamas military infrastructure, including rocket launch sites, weapons depots, and tunnel networks.
The Gaza Strip, home to more than two million Palestinians, has long been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Repeated conflicts over the years have left the enclave in a state of perpetual crisis, with high levels of poverty, unemployment, and a chronic shortage of basic services such as water, electricity, and healthcare.
As the violence shows no signs of abating, civilians on both sides of the border are bracing for the possibility of further escalation. Human rights groups have called on the international community to step up efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire, warning that without meaningful intervention, the humanitarian toll could continue to rise.
The Great Satan's goons&thugs are going after Tik Tok again. The subhuman atrocities committed by the illegitimate defence force are being videod by themselves and posted on Tik Tok.
As self-hating Jew, Ron Unz, says the atrocities are "cartoonishly evil" except that they're happening in real-life.
TC: What does that mean, an AIPAC person?
TM: It’s like your babysitter, your AIPAC babysitter who is always talking to you for AIPAC. They’re probably a constituent in your district, but they are firmly embedded in AIPAC. … I’ve had four members of Congress say, “I’ll talk to my AIPAC person.” And it’s clearly what we call them, my AIPAC guy. …
TC: Why have I never heard this before?
TM: It doesn’t benefit anybody. Why would they want to tell their constituents that they’ve basically got a buddy system with somebody who’s representing a foreign country? …
TC: Have you seen any other country do anything like this?
TM: No. … Not only do they not have a Putin guy. They don’t have a Britain guy. They don’t have an Australian guy. They don’t have a Germany dude. …
- How AIPAC Operates
They're not even TRYING to pretend that they're not committing war crimes:
Neither Israel nor the US government lamented the fact that as many as 300 civilians were killed in the attack. Perhaps they saw them as acceptable “collateral damage.”
. . .
For Israel, “targeted killings” emerged as official policy in the early 2000s as part of its effort to confront the so-called “al-Aqsa intifada.” As late as July 2001, Israel’s claims that strikes against Palestinian militants did not amount to assassination were largely rejected even by US officials, who called them “extrajudicial killings.”
Israel wasn’t deterred. As Israeli authorities later admitted, they launched a concerted campaign to reshape international law. “If you do something for long enough,” as one official put it, “the world will accept it.”
- The normalization and legitimation of political assassinations
That's not true, however: "Were jews Expelled a THOUSAND Times Because of "Anti-Semitism"?"
And just as the illegitimate defence force has been targetting the head and heart of palestinian children, they've also been doing the same to journalists:
Even over high-profile killings, little has been done. Shireen Abu Akleh, a prominent Palestinian-American journalist who worked for Al Jazeera, was covering a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in 2022 when she was shot in the head by Israeli forces.

But whilst the International Kangaroo Kourt has issued an arrest warrant for president Putin for the non-crime of evacuating ukrainian chldren to Russia and despite Russia not being a signatory to the Rome statute, it still fails to do the same to war criminal Benny Nut&Yahoo with Palestine being a signatory.
The mentality of the Jew is psychotic as many have pointed out:
A furious row has broken out over claims in a new book by BBC broadcaster James Naughtie that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell described neoconservatives in the Bush administration as "fucking crazies" during the buildup to war in Iraq.

Jeffrey Sachs, for all his good intentions, went as far as he could to characterize Israelis as judeo supremacist extremist terrorists.

With Kagan’s wife Nuland out of the Biden Administration and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan crucially siding with the realists, Blinken has emerged as the undisputed leader of who George H.W. Bush called the “crazies in the basement.”
- The Madness Of Antony Blinken
"The Depravity of the Zionist Mind"
The mentality is to "win" at all costs and don't give a Victoria Nuland to the legality or the victims. Jared Kushner advertised his subhuman intellect when he told african Amerikans they have to WANT to win. I'd compare that to a paedophile who says to you, "Look at all this great sex you're missing out on because you refuse to rape children".
